Setup guide

Consult the Autodesk Backburner Installation Guide at

www.autodesk.com/backburner-documentation for detailed guidelines.

4 If you do not want to use the local Backburner Manager installed on

your workstation, type the following commands to disable it:

chkconfig backburner_manager off

/etc/init.d/backburner_manager stop

5 If you stopped the local Manager, open the

/usr/discreet/backburner/cfg/manager.host file on your workstation in a text

editor, delete “localhost”, and enter the hostname of the system where

Backburner Manager is installed.

6 Make sure the following Backburner keywords in the

/usr/discreet/<product_home>/cfg/init.cfg file are configured properly.

SettingKeyword

Set <hostname> to the hostname or IP address of the workstation

running Backburner Manager. This hostname or IP address must match

BackburnerManagerHostname

the one in the /usr/discreet/backburner/cfg/manager.host file. If it does

not, background Wire transfers will fail.

Set <priority> to a value from 0 to 100. The default is 50.BackburnerManagerPriority

Set <groupname> to the name of a group of computers on a Burn

rendering network. For example, if the name of the group is

BackburnerManagerGroup

“renderfarm1”, you would set this keyword to BackburnerManager-

Group renderfarm1.

Configuring Lustre Slave Rendering

Workflow for Configuring Slave Rendering

The Slave Renderer renders modified frames when the artist moves to the next

shot on the timeline from the Master Station. With slave rendering, playback

is enabled without compromising the interactivity of the Master Station during

creative sessions.
