renderfox Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 When I try to do netrender via 'mantra -H host,host' I've get an error: 'Could not write out to the script or pipe' except when I use name of local host for multiprocessor rendering. What does it mean? What I need to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aracid Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 hey renderfox i had the same problem, but that was ages ago, when i set my little farm up, cant think of the exact solution, as for the solution, i'll phink back about it (it was something stupid) but too start ur mantra call sounds fine, firstly can u render from the box u trying to render on? ie open houdini on that machine and test mantra from there secondly, a bit obvious but can u see the other box on ur local network? off the top of my head, i dont know if this is crucial but when u installed houdini, it has a little option for network rendering, i ticked that, btw try those and we'll continue 101 if that doesnt work. all the best aracid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renderfox Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 aracid, thak you for response. Of course, i tryed all that things: - local rendering on each host - looking up hosts in network (and I add lines to 'hosts' file wich is not nesseccery for Win) - and even using UNC file paths in $HIP and $JOB unfortunately, result is the same. I'll try reinstall houdini on one of hosts and check out the netrender options but I'm not sure that is there If you know something else i'll be pleasure for you Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aracid Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 hey renderfox just checking on my box last night, if u right click on my computer, manage and then services, check out if houdini client is running. thats the think i had to fix to get my netrender up and running, all the best aracid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I also haven't managed to succesfully render something over a network yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibarrick Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I also haven't managed to succesfully render something over a network yet... 14325[/snapback] I'm sure network rendering was buggy in older versions of Houdini, especially on windows. You might need to upgrade to get it working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MG Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 UT_NetPacket::write: Invalid argument mantra: Unable to write data in network handshake[2] This is a common error I get, when I try to render with the "-H" flag. I'm running (on both machines): Win2000-SP4 (with latest patches) Houdini 6.1.208 (no other version Houdini services running) Calling the same drive/location ($HIP = "P:\Misc\Tests") Could anyone help me?
