MultiSlave configuration

Hello!

I’d like to use the multislave possibilities, so I created a second slave on a computer on my farm.
But I when I submit a job it says:

This directory

exists, and has been generated by deadline when I created the new slave.
My guess is that it should be filled by the used plugins, but that should be deadline’s problem.

Should I copy all plugins? Did I miss something ?

Thanks

Resolved by configuring the deadline.ini file of each slave and restarting them

That folder is the temporary working directory for the running Slave. We avoid conflicts by using the name of the slave and the job id in the path.

You’re right that the Slave is supposed to be handling it and the files in that folder should be a mirrored copy of “[repo]/plugins/CommandLine”.

Usually when the files are missing, it’s due to network congestion problem. Not sure what in deadline.ini helped exactly, but if things are working I’m happy. If you see the issue return, let me know and we can discuss network performance as outlined here:
