Setup guide

Install additional fonts
During the install, the same fonts that are installed by default with your Creative Finishing application are
installed.
However, if you installed additional fonts on the workstation that are not provided with your application,
you must also install those fonts on each render node. Contact your third-party font supplier(s) for
information about Linux support for those fonts.
Ensure any 3D Text fonts used with Action nodes in the Batch setups you submit to Burn are installed.
Disable local Stone and Wire IO on a node
If the Burn render node has a slower connection to a shared storage device (such as a SAN) than the Creative
Finishing workstation, it is preferable for Stone and Wire I/O operations to be performed on the Creative
Finishing workstation, rather than on the render node.
To disable local Stone and Wire I/O operations:
1 In a terminal on the Burn render node, as root, stop Stone and Wire by typing /etc/init.d/stone+wire
stop.
2 Open for editing /usr/discreet/sw/cfg/stone+wire.cfg.
3 Set DisableLocalIO=True to true.
4 Save and close the configuration file, then restart Stone and Wire: /etc/init.d/stone+wire start.
Run multiple versions of Burn on the same node
Each version of a Creative Finishing application includes its own version of Burn, and each version of Burn
is compatible with only one version of Creative Finishing applications. Because your facility may have
different versions of Creative Finishing applications running with their corresponding version of Burn, you
can run different versions of Burn on the same machine.
Assessing Compatibility Between Client and Server Versions
For Burn versions 2.0 and later, your Creative Finishing application sends jobs directly to the background
processing network, removing the need to synchronize the client with the server. For Burn versions earlier
than 2.0, you must synchronize the version of the Burn client and Burn server with the version of the
Creative Finishing application you are running.
