Discussions about Muster installations http://www.vvertex.com/forum/list.php?4 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 16:04:22 +0200 Phorum 5.2.11 http://www.vvertex.com/forum/read.php?4,795,795#msg-795 http://www.vvertex.com/forum/read.php?4,795,795#msg-795
I'm new to Muster and need help setting it up so I can submit render layers from Maya 2008.
The steps I've read have been a bit hard to follow, particularly because I have to figure out how things work without admin rights (IT dep't within a corporation).
Is there a step-by-step guide somewhere that includes a submit script and all the installation details necessary to get this to work somewhere?

Specific questions:
Do I need to reinstall Muster to incorporate Maya (Muster is installed currently but with no integration with Maya).
Is there a Mel script/plugin available for submitting jobs?
Can I submit MR .mi files using a mel submit script?

(Maya 2008, Muster 5.5.8)

Thanks tons in advance...

2)render blades with win xp 64 bit Operating system
3)Muster version 5.5.7

a)Maya 8.5 32 bit on render blades

when i submit jobs throw muster to blades its rendering only with max proc usage of 25%.
If i launch the same file to the workstations which is connected to dispatcher it renders with full proc uasge of 100%
pls give me solution for this also iam having an problem with additional flags iam not able to give any ( -rt ) flags
if igive its giving an syntax error.it allows only 4 threads to render............................................................. thank yu]]> MK_KRISH3D Installation Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:37:41 +0100 http://www.vvertex.com/forum/read.php?4,675,675#msg-675 http://www.vvertex.com/forum/read.php?4,675,675#msg-675 thank you!

Hi!
We are using Muster to render Maya MR scenes.
My problem is now that I couldn't find out how to tell Muster to use a Maya.env file which points to our custom Maya plugins and Mental Ray shaders. So we have to copy all the plugins and shaders to each renderfarm machine.

Is there any way to let Muster tell Maya to use a specific Maya.env file?

Thanks in advance!

It seems that because Muster needs a network path to recognize file locations, there must be a net connection in order to see the computer in a network workgroup. Is there any way around this>?

We are using Muster 5.5.3 x64 it was worked fine before we generate the user account for the every user in muster explorer. Now the problem is we are not able to login in the admin account to manage the host or to restart. But using the created user account i can able to login and dispatch the job.

Please help me now all the render forms in the Muster explorer are paused but i am not able resume the render forms.

thanks

I'm trying to evaluate Muster for use at my University. I've downloaded 5.5.3 but I am having some trouble getting it to work.

I am trying to install it on Windows XP. I have one VM which I would like to use as the Dspatcher and one Dell precision 470 as the render client.

I have encountered two problems so far.

1. On the VM, the installer cannot find my AD domain. When I enter the account as DOMAIN\username I get the error "Server not found. Verify that the specified server exists. The server name cannot be empty". If I click "browse...", and enter the server name or IP, I get the same error. If I click "Browse..." again I get the error "The list is empty".

2. On the Dell workstation, the installation proceeds correctly, but neither the renderclient or dispatcher service will start. If I try to start them manually through "Computer Management" I get the error "Could not start the Muster Dispathcer Service 5 service on Local Computer. Error 1069: The service did not start due to a login failure"

Do you have any advice about how I should proceed?

thanks

I've noticed that the processor usage statistics in Muster Explorer only work if the user the service is running on the clients has admin rights.
Ram usage works on some host, on some it doesn't. Where it doesn't, even granting admin rights to the user doesn't help.
How does Muster read the processor and ram usage? WMI? Perhaps there is a way to grant the according rights for accessing the cpu stats. As we are running an Active Directory, and sometimes a user needs to log in as renderuser, I wouldn't like to grant this user adminrights.

With best regards ;-)]]> lululog Installation Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:24:11 +0200 http://www.vvertex.com/forum/read.php?4,413,413#msg-413 http://www.vvertex.com/forum/read.php?4,413,413#msg-413

Our render farm used windows xp and windows vista client nodes on a windows server 2003 domain and it works with the xp machines.

The problem is to correctly reach vista nodes. I opened com ports used by Muster and add permission to executables, but nothing. Their service is still "unavailable" in the management console.

Both 3D Studio Max 9.5 and Maya 2008 are installed on the host LV-R241-16.

I'm not sure where else to go from here.

New installation, Muster 5.31, all machines running XP SP2.

I've been unable to find any information on correct firewall settings, and I'm not comfortable leaving all firewalls open. Muster did not configure Windows Firewall by itself.

I've tried opening TCP ports 7680, 7681, 7683, 7690 and 7691, which should be the ports used by Muster. Still, it doesn't work. The only thing that works is to turn off all firewalls.

What are the recommended settings?

Best,

I have recently purchesed an upgrade from Muster 4.52 to Muster 5.11 and have recieved my unlock code.

I am familier with Muster as I have been using it for about a year now.

Before I had touched the Muster 5.11 Install I have had ALL instances of Muster 4.52 removed from all render nodes and our server.

Here is how it goes:

I sit down at the computer I want to act as our Muster Server
(ip 192.168.0.5)

I choose to install Muster as "Server, Client, Client GUI and command line tools"

I choose to install as System Services.

I leave all Network Configurations Default

I insert User name, Company name and Unlock Code.

I insert the IP of the Server Computer (192.168.0.5) - I leave all socket ports Default.

Under username I put "Muster" which is a user setup on the domain as an Administrator (and also a local Admin over the entire farm) and put in the password for this user.

I install Muster. I restart.

I modify the "Muster Dispatcher Service 5" to have the correct user name and password (from above)
I modify the "Muster Render Client Service 5" to Disabled and Stop the service.

I launch Muster Explorer > Connect as:

Dispatcher IP: 192.168.0.5 (the render manager computer)
User Name: Muster
Password: (the pass for Muster User)

Connect!

And then an error comes onto the screen saying: "Dispatcher service was unable to authenticate your login. Check your username and password and try again."

I click OK and it crashes to Desktop.

We have had 3 System Admins try to solve this problem and so far there is no luck... Please help!!

Machines show up in Manegement Console as "Connected" and I'm able to config them but when expanded, Status is "Unavailable" . No firewalls are active on local machines. No machines show up in the cpu list in Explorer (and not in pools or any other place either). I have some experience of seting up muster4.5 on a similar network and as far as I remember I've done everything the same way (expect this is the eval version).
Any ideas?

some times it asks me to log in if i say "install service" but nothing seems to work
we are on a domain and most of the render nodes are not on the domain
but even the ones that are still won't let you install the service

any thoughts ?
