Swarm Coordinator not able to see all agents and not distributing tasks

Hi, I’ve been trying to get swarm up and running. I followed the setup here:

http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/Swarm.html

I setup an agent on two machines, with one of the machines also running the coordinator. Here are my current settings:

The coordinator keeps switching between the agents, and only shows one at a time. I’ve tried doing a really big task, setting AvoidLocalExecution to true on the machine with coordinator, but neither worked. I think its something related to my network settings, but I don’t know how to fix it.

Im having the same issue, and would appreciate any input you guys have, thanks!

I am having a similar problem…any help would be greatly appreciated…

Hi SiddG,
first of all the coordinator window should show two rows if both agents are connected (one row for each connected agent). Try to use option Network → Ping Coordinator from the one that is not listed there, before running the build process. If it didn’t help check the network settings if firewall is not blocking the traffic.

Hi,
Both remote agents can ping the coordinator, with the response being " Coordinator has responded normally". I also tried turning the firewall completely off, and I still have the same situation.

Can you see them both in the coordinator after the pings?

7

No. It keeps switching between the two agents, but doesn’t show them together.

8

What are the names of the agents shown in the coordinator? Aren’t they the same in your case?

9

They have a different user names (the name in the parenthesis), and different IPs. Should the machine name be different too?

10

I think so, could you try that?

That worked! Thank you!
