Creating machine-list Files
The machine-list file identifies all the machines on your network that can be allowed to batch process Harmony files. The machines on this list represent the render farm.
How to create the machine-list file
- In a text editor, create a new text file.
- In the new text file, enter all the machine names in your render farm.
The order that you list machine names 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
- Your machine name is created when you install your operating system. You can list the machine name of a computer by typing the following command in the Terminal or command prompt:
hostname (Mac OS X)
uname -n (Linux)
- Save the file with the name machine-list in the /USA_DB/schedules/ directory.
