Now that everything is set and ready to go, we need to get the additional computers to start listening for render jobs on the network. Run the V-Ray Render Server application that is installed with V-Ray for Maya: Launch the V-Ray render server on all desired render machines. This is done in the Command Prompt for Windows with the following command: C:\Program Files\Chaos Group \V-Ray\Maya 2024 for x64\maya_vray\bin\vray.exe -server
For Linux and macOS, the vrayserver command is used and can be found at /usr/ChaosGroupChaos/V-Ray/Maya20NNMaya20xx-x64/vray/bin/vrayserver and /Applications/ChaosGroupChaos/V-Ray/Maya20NNMaya20xx/vray/bin/vrayserver

While it's not necessary to check that your render servers are running properly, vraydr_check is a useful tool if there's a problem with communication among them.
The proper syntax for vraydr_check is from the path C:\Program Files\Chaos Group \V-Ray\Maya 20nn 20xx for x64\vray\bin (where 20nn 20xx is the version of Maya for which V-Ray is installed), run vraydr_check -host=ip (or computer name) -port=#####. An example is: vraydr_check -host=techdocs04 -port=20207. If the computer is running the render server, the Status comes back as ready and the version of V-Ray is displayed. The location of the vraydr_check executable is found at /usr/ChaosGroupChaos/V-Ray/Maya 20nn20xx-x64/vray/bin for the Linux OS, and at /Applications/ChaosGroupChaos/V-Ray/Maya20nnMaya20xx/VRay.app/Contents/MacOS for the macOS. For more information on using the vraydr_check tool, please see the Distributed rendering page. |
