Mental Ray on farm hangs forever


#1

Hi, we are on Mac OSX, rendering with mental ray with the farm manager RUSH. Everything works well when we render with Arnold, but for some reason all the computers hang / freeze randomly when we send a maya mental ray job. The render job starts, but it never finishes. Sometimes there is a pop-up of the Autodesk License Manager (or something like that) that searches for a license without finding it I think (we have more licenses than needed).

Anybody experiencing siimilar issues, ideas to fix this?

We have seen that sometimes we also have to have a maya opened for the render to work.
