Hello,
The default Worker Scheduling allows one to start and stop the deadline worker according to various criteria presented in the UI. We are currently launching our workers through a linux service, so we’d like to use Scheduling to either:
1)Stop/Start/Restart a bespoke linux worker.service.
or
2)Enable/Disable the standard worker instead of starting/stopping the standard worker.
Is this possible? Are there other alternatives that you’d recommend?
Thanks,
-Jake
FYI: part of the reason we are using a service is that we start workers in specific cgroups to help manage memory/cpus/gpus etc.
The Worker Scheduling should work as you as expected. The idle detection would not not work with Deadline is running as service, as listed limitation here: Worker Scheduling — Deadline 10.3.0.15 documentation
You can group the render nodes in Worker Scheduling and apply the Worker Scheduling on them.
Here is a Worker Scheduling documentation which would help: Worker Scheduling — Deadline 10.3.0.15 documentation
Is it possible to change/override the functionality of the Remote Control → Worker Commands → Start, Stop, Restart Worker, etc?
In addition, does idle detection and scheduling use these particular Remote Control commands to start and stop the workers? Or does it use something else like deadlinecommand ?
Thanks,
-Jake
