Please see the GPU render help topic.
There are a few Status messages that are special:
Idle - Defer mode |
If you have a lot of free clients assigned to a job, then the rrServer sets the slower clients into "Idle - Defer Mode". This mode is similar to "disabled", the clients do not get a job. There are two reasons why a client is in defer mode: 1.You have a lot of idle clients assigned to the job. The faster machines are not rendering yet. The slower ones are in "defer mode" until the faster ones render. 2.The clients are not assigned to the job or cannot render the job.

The RR logo and the Tray icon of the rrClient can have following colors:
Black |
|
The client does nothing. It is waiting for new jobs. |
Orange |
|
The client is disabled. It does not receive jobs. Exception: Jobs marked with the "background render" flag. The client does not use all CPUs to render these jobs. |
Green |
|
The Client is rendering a job |
Red |
|
The client is not able to connect to the server |
Every few seconds the client checks for the CPU and memory usage.
The CPU usage is shown in cores. A value of 1.0 means one core is completely in use. A value of 3.5 means 3 and a half CPU is used. The memory usage is shown in MB. |
|
The CPU and memory usage is divided into 3 parts from top to bottom:
•Free
•Usage of the render process
•Other Usage (e.g. artist, system background processes)
-disabled |
Start the client disabled |
-UITakeOverService |
Please see GPU render. |
-ignoreWorkingHours |
Do not disable the interactive client during working hours |
-shutdownEvenIfLoggedIn |
Temporally enables the setting "Shutdown even if a user is logged in" |
