HP Z800 Connecting the Slave Renderer to a Lustre Workstation, To connect the Slave Renderer

NOTE In comparison, Autodesk Incinerator provides “in-line” processing by several nodes at once. For more information, see the Autodesk Incinerator Installation and User Guide.

Connect the Slave Renderer to a switch on your GigE house network. Note that the Slave Renderer can only be used by one Lustre workstation.

Although the Lustre Slave Renderer uses a standard GigE network connection, it requires the higher-bandwidth Cat-6 cable, to accommodate the increased data that is transmitted.

To connect the Slave Renderer:

1Connect one end of the Cat-6 cable to an available GigE port on your house network switch.

2Connect the other end to one of the on-board GigE ports of the Slave Renderer machine.

For information on configuring the IP addresses of the network ports that connect the two machines, see the Autodesk Lustre Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux Workstations
