Specifying the Background Rendering Path in

Lustre

The last step in setting up background rendering is to specify the correct mount

points in the settings of each project that uses background rendering.

To add the storage path in Lustre:

1 Start Lustre.

2 In the Setup menu, click Settings.

3 Select your project in the Project drop-down list, and click Edit.

The Project Settings menu appears.

4 Click Network Rendering, then click Backburner in the Configuration

section.

5 Type the location of the Project Home, Scans Full Home, Scans Half

Home, Renders Full Home and Renders Half Home, as seen from the

Linux render nodes. You only need to enter those locations that are

defined for the project in the local project setup, located in the Setup |

Project menu.

The path required in these fields is comprised of the directory defined

for the mount point and the actual storage folder. For example, if the

Project Home on the Lustre workstation is E:\SCENES/mnt/md0/SCENES

in the Project Setup menu, and the mount point for the Lustre

workstation storage on the Linux render nodes is /mnt/Lustre_storage, the

Project Home path to enter in this menu is:

/mnt/Lustre_storage/SCENES

6 Press Enter.

7 To verify that you have entered the proper path for each project, look

at the project configuration file in

/usr/autodesk/lustre<application_version>/project/<project
