= SYMPTOMS =

The following error message appears when doing distributed rendering with mental ray:

“No Second Port Available”

= CAUSE =

This problem occurs because the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable is not exported properly to all the hosts (via the ray.irix4.sh script).

= RESOLUTION =

Check if the script is correct by running it locally.

Also, the script command line should appear as follows:

ray.irix5 $*

Only specify other options (-verbose, etc.) to the master machine (via the $SI_MI_TRACER variable). For example:

setenv SI_MI_TRACER /usr/softimage/mental_ray/bin/ray.irix5 -verbose on -scanline on
