2 Follow the installation steps.
During the installation, you can change the installation directory. The
default installation directory is:
/Applications/Autodesk/mrsat3.9.1-maya2012
(Linux) To install mental ray standalone with satellite licensing using rpm
1 Log in as root.
2 On each slave machine, begin the installation process by inserting the
Maya DVD.
3 Mount the DVD drive, if necessary. For example, type:
mount
-r /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd
4 Open the mental ray satellite directory, go to the Linux directory, and
enter the following command (where # is the specific package number):
rpm –ivh mentalraySatellite3.9.1_maya2012-3.9-#.x86_64.rpm
NOTE 64-bit Windows releases of mental ray for Maya satellite use the same
port and service name as the 32-bit version. You will run into problems if
you install both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions on a 64-bit system. There
is only one service entry/xinetd config, so installing a 64-bit package after
the 32-bit (or the other way around) leaves only the last installed version
working.
Slave machine additional setup
Once this version of mental ray is installed and running, a service on the
machine (the Ray Sat server) waits for rendering tasks from mental ray for
Maya on the master machine. The satellite-enabled version of mental ray does
not require its own licensing; it is activated through Maya’s licensing.
On the slave machine, the Ray Sat server (service name: mental ray Satellite
3.9.1 for Maya 2012) must be running. To verify that it is running on Windows,
follow this procedure.
To verify that Ray Sat server is running (Windows)
1 Open a Windows command prompt.
