Setup guide

4 Start the Burn installation script by typing:

The Burn for Lustre package is installed. For instructions on obtaining
and installing a Burn license, see Licensing Burn for Lustre (page 88).
5 Repeat this procedure on all render nodes.
Licensing Burn for Lustre
You need a license for your render nodes. Burn uses a floating license scheme,
which means that licenses are centralized on a license server.
The license server automatically provides a license to all registered machines.
The license server can be any of the render nodes on the rendering network.
Perform the following tasks to obtain a license code for background rendering,
install the license server, and configure the license server to distribute licenses
to burn nodes.
To license a Burn for Lustre network:
1 Open a terminal on the license server and log in as root.
2 Run the dlhostid utility to obtain the unique host ID of the machine.
Type:
dlhostid
A message appears that includes a line indicating the dlhostid of the
machine. For example:
The Discreet host ID of this machine is
“DLHOST01=25231AEF83AD9D5E9B2FA270DF4F20B1”
3 Write down the dlhostid (including the “DLHOST01=” part).
4 Request license codes for background rendering from the Autodesk Media
and Entertainment Licensing Department. See Requesting License Codes
(page 100).
5 If you are installing from a USB key, insert the key navigate to the Lustre
