Restarting Suspended Render Nodes
 
 
 

If the Backburner Monitor or the Backburner Web Monitor indicates that a render node assigned to a job is suspended even if its job is being processed, do the following to determine why the render node is suspended and, if necessary, to restart it.

To determine the cause of, and restart, a suspended render node:

  1. Before restarting the render node, make sure that the workstation is available to render jobs. Select the render node in the Server List to view its details. Check in the Schedule section to see if the node is disabled for the current time period.

    Render nodes that are not set to be available for rendering may appear suspended even if their job is being processed.

  2. If the render node is supposed to be available for rendering jobs, stop and restart the Backburner Server application on the render node.
