Creating the machine-list File (Linux)
The machine-list file identifies all the machines on your network that are designated for batch processing Harmony files. The machines on this list represent the render farm.
NOTE: You must have sufficient batch processing licenses to run batch processing on all the machines in the machine-list file.
How to create the machine-list file on Linux
- Using a text editor, create a new text file. Enter all the names of the machines in your render farm. The order in which the machine names appear determines their order in the batch processing scheduling commands.
IMPORTANT: There must be no blank lines in the machine-list file.
For example, your machine-list might look like this:
anim-1
anim-2
anim-3
bart-1
bart-2
paint-1
paint-2
paint-3
The machine name is created when you install Linux. List the machine name of a computer by entering the following in a terminal or command prompt:
uname -n
- Save the file as machine-list in the /USA_DB/schedules/ directory.
