Testing Network Components

Reviewing Burn and Backburner log files can help to indicate the source of a problem on the background processing network. For example, log messages showing network timeouts for jobs may indicate a problem with the TCP/IP protocol or the Stone and Wire network.

Use the following scripts that are installed with Burn to test background processing network components and identify the source of the problem:

• The verifySWConn script is used to test Wire network connectivity in the background processing network. See Testing Stone and Wire Connectivity for Burn.
• The verifyBurnServer script is used to test whether a render node meets minimum hardware requirements for processing Burn jobs on a network. See Testing Render Node Hardware for Burn.
