    Star Wars Fan? … Yep. Aren’t we all?

    Hmmm. Will check audio and repost.

    In addition, here is a screencap of my share monitor, with “hung jobs”.

    Uncheck allow use of unmanaged services and check that each client needs to be managed. This should allow you to add them to the cluster. Also, I would, to start off with, put a file in that share location and render from and to that location. If that works then you can try a file from a local volume and cross your fingers that it gets copied correctly.

    Also tell me if there is a Qmaster in system preferences.

    Ian,

    I followed your instructions and this did, indeed, allow me to add the nodes to the cluster. Everything looked good until I hit “apply”. At that point, “QAdministrator” threw this error:

    “Error occurred while creating new cluster: SwampDaemon::NFSPublisher: operation not authorized”

    Am now researching.

    On Gold Leader, there is a QMaster on in System Preferences. It looks to be the 3.5 QMaster as it has none of the settings I assigned.

    I moved the cluster controller to Red Leader as it is a more robust box and it is the home of the central data store. Seemed to make sense that would be home base.

    Try to add one computer at a time – see if one of those spits out errors. Also, I might try a restart on all of the clients and a qmaster reset. let me know how you make out.

    Aside from this thread, the following is the only result returned by Google. This does not bode well.
