Having difficulty starting a Compressor job using a cluster

The batch monitor will error out- something having to do with timing out before Qmaster can open it's storage area on the host machine (not sure if that makes sense). Anyway, the cluster i created, has 2 service nodes, both with Final Cut, and DVDSP4 installed. I've never been able to submit a job to the cluster. It will always error out.

Are you submitting directly from Final Cut using "Export to Compressor"? Are you using a quickcluster, or a managed cluster? Do you see your nodes in Qadministrator? Do you have shared storage? If not did you turn on "Personal File Sharing" in system preferences and enable applesharing in network prefs on both machines. Did you disable the firewall?
I'm not in front of my computers, but there is a setting in the Compressor settings that allows you to change "Always copy files to cluster storage", "Never", etc Try changing that to always. I really don't know if it will help, but it got me hung up on my setup for ahwhile. Did you change the cluster storage in sys prefs on either machine? (You shouldn't) Also try resetting the nodes by stopping the services on them, then holding option-apple and click reset.
Finally, see if you can post the exact error that you are receiving. There is a log file somewhere in "/var/log" that might help to narrow down the problem.
I use NFS with a Managed cluster, but if you are using Appleshare I think you should be able to go to the Go->Connect to Server from finder and connect to your machine by typing in the IP address or hostname.
There's some ideas to get you started.

  • I'm having difficulty downloading apps to Iphone using my PC. I keep reading that there is a "device" button to click on in Itunes Store but it's not visible on my PC. Any tips?

    I'm having difficulty downloading apps to Iphone using my PC. I keep reading that there is a "device" button located in the Itunes page... but I don't see it.

    What do you mean?
    You buy an app from itunes on your computer?
    If so, then sync it to your iphone.
    Open itunes, connect iphone, select the apps you want under the apps tab and sync.

  • Why is my iMac clicking and having difficulty starting up?

    In the past 2 weeks, my iMac has been making odd clicking noises when starting up and when waking from sleep. The motor drones to start up (accompanied by the clicking), will fail, and it will try starting again. It usually requires restart when I'm coming back from sleep. During start up, a folder icon with a question mark will flash. I have to restart around 10 times until the computer starts up normally (still with some clicking).
    During use, the computer functions normally, although in the past day my computer will freeze my clicking power on my mouse. That is to say, my mouse can move around the screen, but clicking does nothing. This lasts about 2 minutes, and then my mouse works fine. Don't know if the problem is related.

    Hopefully booting from your install disk you can repair the disk using the Disk Utility app. If DU can't repair the disk the first time, click Repair again. Sometimes it takes a 2nd or 3rd pass. If DU cannot resolve the problem, then you need DiskWarrior or TechToolPro

  • Newbie having difficulty centering images in browser using ActionScript 3.0

    I'm a newbie using flex builder 3. I'm learning
    ActionScript3.0. After running the AS code from the book, my images
    are never in the center of the browser(IE7). After running the
    following code (which is supposed to produce a yellow arrow, in the
    center of the stage, that rotates to the mouse), I get all the
    desired results except the arrow is positioned in the bottom right
    corner of my browser and only part of the arrow is visible. if
    anyone can suggest a solution it would be highly appreciated.
    Please keep in mind that I am a COMPLETE newbie to ActionScript,
    Flex Builder 3, and the Flash environments. Thanks in advance.

    on mouseup or click, if the mouse is down, you can use:
    stage.focus=outputText;
    if the mouse isn't down, you can don't need a listener to trigger the above.

  • Difficulty starting from Tiger DVD on new hard drive for installation

    I recently replaced the hard drive on my flatscreen iMac. I am having difficulty starting from the Tiger DVD to install the system software. The disk drive does have DVD-R capabilities, but is not a super drive. I hold down the "c" button as I start up with the Tiger DVD, but the screen appears the same way as it would if nothing were in the disk drive (grey with alternating smiley/"?" folder). I attempted to boot with my old 10.2 system CD, and was again unsuccessful as the CD ejected after a few more hopeful noises from inside the console and returned to my previously mentioned grey screen.
    I also attempted to start while holding the option key which produced an uneventful blue screen with 2 arrow buttons that did nothing when I clicked them.
    Keyboard and mouse are both working.

    Changing your startup disk
    You can make your computer start up from a CD, a network volume, a different disk or disk partition, or another operating system (such as Mac OS 9 if your computer supports it). To do so, you change your startup disk.
    Open System Preferences and click Startup Disk.
    If necessary, click the lock icon and type the name and password for an administrator user.
    Click the icon of the system folder or system volume that you want to use, then click Restart.
    IMPORTANT: When selecting a network startup volume, be sure you select a valid network startup volume and not a network install image. Choosing a network install image reinstalls your system software and may erase the contents of your hard disk. A standard network volume icon appears as a globe and Mac OS X system folder. When you select a network volume icon, a message appears in the Startup pane describing the volume. A network install icon appears as a globe with downward pointing green arrow.
    Another way to select a startup disk is to hold down the Option key as you restart your computer. You'll see the available startup disks and can select one.
    If your computer is on a network and a network startup volume is available, you can start up from the network startup volume by holding down the N key as you restart your computer.
    If you start up your computer in Mac OS 9, use the Startup Disk control panel in the Apple menu to switch back to your Mac OS X startup disk. Then restart the computer.
    If Mac OS 9 is not available, your computer will only start up in Mac OS X. You can still use most Mac OS 9 applications in the Classic environment. To do this, open System Preferences, click Classic, and then click Start.

  • A user is having trouble printing. Print jobs take FOREVER when they used to speed through

    A user is having trouble printing. Print jobs take FOREVER when they used to speed through (despite linked images, etc)
    These are just some notes from our troubleshooting:
    User was trying to print out InDesign document however during the flattening phase, the computer would stall and would not print out the document.
    The document does not print out using double sided or single sided.
    The first time I went out, all I did was a system restore and uninstalled mcafee security plus because we're on a university network and sometimes the firewall blocks network printing, and that worked. She tried to print again later and it went back to taking 30 minutes for a print job of about 19 pages. These print jobs used to take about 5 minutes at the most to print entirely, but they queued up immediately, versus now, it takes about 5 minutes just to get to the printer.
    Further troubleshooting that I did on a separate day:
    Printer was printing fine in November - problem started at some point this month (December)
    Printing is fine elsewhere, including in Adobe Acrobat
    I was able to print one page just fine - it had no images (tried to print the same page later, took forever)
    Some of the images are very large (100MB+) photoshop files (again, they were there before and it printed fine) - these images are linked (with no link errors)
    She prints to a network printer, but there's no firewall on (again, printing is fine elsewhere)
    She's essentially printing with the default settings, she just centers her print, instead of the default layout.
    Now even printing with the default print set (not changing any print settings at all) doesn't work. Jobs take 30 minutes. I can't figure out if it's file specific or where the problem is. Since she has no custom settings, my next option is to just do an uninstall and reinstall, but I'm worried that the problem will still be there. I was starting to think that maybe the file is just so corrupted from all the force quits that that's causing the problem, but... I'm running out of solutions.
    Any help? 

    I have only worked doing layout for one business in my past. In that job our department would sometimes experience slowdown in printing from time to time. However, we began to see extreme slowdowns over a month period. It was finally tracked down to two things. One was something about the RAID array going bonkers. The other was some of the CAT cabling going bad. It only affected large print jobs and copying large files through the network. Even so, it was not 100% of the time. Sometimes things went along smoothly.
    Point is, have your IT people been invited in to experience the issue and see if anything in the network is causing at least latency issues?
    Take care, Mike
