Swarm not working

[Red333]

I have a workstation license and a render node license for a second computer. For some reason, the render node drops off the swarm for no reason and it takes hours to troubleshoot it to get it back online. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the swarm from the node, uninstalling/reinstalling the workstation, can't seem to get it work properly. For some reason, if I pull up the swarm UI on the render node, it shows it by itself as an active license, but it will not show up on the swarm UI on the workstation. This has bogged down my workflow considerably so I would appreciate a quick response.

Thanks!

Finally got the node to show up, but now it's saying it's unstable. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Chech if the IP address of the render node isn't changing - if it is - make it static (e.g. MAC address reservation if you have a DHCP) and restart V-Ray Swarm service from windows services. Also - make sure you have your license settings pointing towards the computer with the license server installed - https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...ration-License

If you continue having problems - start a render to the render node and check the log on it for an error message - https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...lMenuItems-Log
