Since there's no official docs on this yet, can we cover the basics here in the forums? To start, can we get the following posted from anyone who is successfully using the tech Preview and can see all of it's UIs?: As a baseline, can we tailor the info to my render farm, which only has (10) total hosts. As reference, here's the basic layout of my hosts by IP:
My current setup:
Manager:
192.168.2.39
Nodes:
192.168.2.32
192.168.2.39
192.168.2.40
192.168.2.41
192.168.2.42
192.168.2.43
192.168.2.44
192.168.2.45
192.168.2.46
192.168.2.47
Items we should address on this topic:
1.) A working copy of the mxnetwork_config.ini file - I have a good idea as to what most of the settings in there do, I just want to make sure that I'm configuring them correctly. The defaults won't work with integrating my render hosts into the same subnet with a LAN shared directory. Here's the default for reference. In my case, I need to have all the hosts working on a 192.168.2.x/24 subnet, so using teh loopback address of 127.0.0.1 won't work:
Default
3.) Some screen shots of the UIs working properly. - This will be a good target for people trying to get this off the ground.
4.) (Optional) Execution strings used to launch the components for a working setup. - If there are specific command line flags needed to launch the components correctly so they target the correct subnet and related hosts, please include those for others to follow along.
Thanks!
