Hey guys, I am having a heck of a time getting my farm setup for my school finals. I have three machines I need to run sliced fluid sims on. Right now I am just trying to get the main workstation to complete a HQueue job... So I have HQueue client and server installed on this machine on the C drive. Both services run fine under another admin account I created called HQueue. I Have used the shelf tool for creating a sliced sim (pyro sim in this case) as recommended per the HQueue documentation. The shared folder with a houdini install in it is on another disk called F in the workstation, the specific folder is shared as hq to all other machines and is mounted on all of them as H: I have no problems accessing it from any machine. The server's .ini file has been setup with the server ip of the pc it is running on (the workstation), and these lines have been set: hqserver.sharedNetwork.path.windows = \\KYLE-PC\hq hqserver.sharedNetwork.mount.windows = H: Everything else in there is vanilla. The problem seems to be in writing the slice files to the mounted H: drive, as I get this error when I submit the houdini file I have attached: hqlib.callFunctionWithHQParms(hqlib.simulateSlice) File "\\KYLE-PC\hq\houdini_distros\hfs.windows-x86_64\houdini\scripts\hqueue\hqlib.py", line 1864, in callFunctionWithHQParms return function(**kwargs) File "\\KYLE-PC\hq\houdini_distros\hfs.windows-x86_64\houdini\scripts\hqueue\hqlib.py", line 1532, in simulateSlice _renderRop(rop) File "\\KYLE-PC\hq\houdini_distros\hfs.windows-x86_64\houdini\scripts\hqueue\hqlib.py", line 1869, in _renderRop rop.render(*args, **kwargs) File "//KYLE-PC/hq/houdini_distros/hfs.windows-x86_64/houdini/python2.7libs\hou.py", line 32411, in render return _hou.RopNode_render(*args, **kwargs) hou.OperationFailed: The attempted operation failed. Error: Failed to save output to file "H:/projects/geo/untitled.loadslices.1.bgeo.sc". Error: Failed to save output to file "H:/projects/geo/untitled.loadslices.2.bgeo.sc". I am really not sure why this is happening as I think I have all the relevant permissions.
