Hi everyone.
For a while at work we've had one host machine (Dell Workstation) and one node (3D Workstation) which has worked fine. Recently we bought 2 more machines (Render01 and Render02) to add to the render farm and bought new node licenses to go with them. During this upgrade we swapped the Dell Workstation and 3D Workstation around, swapping the licenses over with them. We've also installed Maxwell onto Render 01 and Render 02, using the new licenses we bought especially for them.
Now when we fire up the network, Dell Workstation and 3D Workstation only find themselves and do not connect to anything else. Render 01 and Render 02 connect to eachother and can share rendering, but they do not see the host machine or the Dell Workstation.
In short:
- Original license moved from Dell Workstation to 3D Workstation
- Original node license moved from 3D Workstation to Dell Workstation (essentially swapping their roles)
- 3D Workstation and Dell Workstation do not find themselves on the Network as they did before
- Render 01 machine added to the network with new node license
- Render 02 machine added to the network with new node license
- Render 01 and 02 will find eachother on the network, but cannot see Dell Workstation or 3D Workstation
I'll be sending this as an e-mail to support as well, but do any of you guys have an idea as to why this might have happened?
Thanks for reading.
