Ian – Have tried adding one node at a time. The results vary. Here are the steps I’ve taken thus far:

I have power cycled all of my machines, the cluster controller and the render nodes. Now, I get a slightly different error message, but the same result. Here is the message:

“Error occurred while creating new cluster: SwampDaemon::NFSPublisher: authorization has expired”

Also, occasionally, when attempting to build the cluster, I get this message:

“The controller cannot be reached. Please try later.”

This is odd because the controller IS the same machine. So, there should be no network issue.

Also, per the screen capture linked below, when selected, the cluster shows:

Storage: “Info Not Available”

I am not sure if that applies, but it seems odd.

Here is a video capture of the process at work.

Ian – It did not register that was your reply. 😀

Trying your solution now.

Opened a discussion in Apple’s Compressor forums (link below) and opened a ticket with the Compressor team.

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

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.

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.

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

Star Wars Fan? … Yep. Aren’t we all?

Hmmm. Will check audio and repost.

Ian,

I figured going with a cluster controller would be the best option as QuickCluster is intended for making a cluster out of a multi-core machine. Here is a more detailed video, this time with audio, of the setup and the issues.

By the way, I have read am continuing to try to peruse the Compressor 4 online docs to find my misstep:
