Configuring Muster

Hello guys,

Here we are managing our renderfarm and submitting jobs through Muster.
For Realflow we got Job Manager.

Is there a possibility or workaround to submit realflow jobs through Muster.
As it would be easy to manage renderfarm with single Manager.

Thanks in advance
Prakash

Just posting to let you know that it is indeed possible...at least using nodes without using the job manager. I am not familiar with Muster.
I was able to set it up with our farm manager just like any other farm submission. Just have your submitter run the 'realflownode ((add all of your args here) -range -useCache filename blah blah blah.) The only setup that we need to do was just have the nodes running on our farm machines.
So, no real info here, just wanted to say 'Yes, it can be done!'
Good luck with it.

Hi Ben,
Thank you for the Info.

As you mentioned I am trying muster to run the realflow node.
Created a .Bat file with realflow command for muster to run it as a script.

Yes its working :).



But still its not in complete usable form.

Need to create / edit the .bat for every job and Muster doesn't update other data(Progress of Simulation etc..) except displaying the render blades is currently busy and running this job.

Still working on it.

Thank you for the Info Ben.

Cheers
