Hi there!
I'm wondering if there is any similar feature in Rush like there is in other render management tools, where you can have 'weighted groups' of machines instead of the normal grouping?
For example: in Deadline you have normal groups like the hostgroups in Rush. In addition, you have 'pools'. You can assign a host to several pools like you can with groups, but the order in which you assign them matters. So you can assign some machines to pool1 as first priority and pool2 as second, and other machines vice versa. Now if you submit a job to pool1, all machines of pool1 will render this job. pool2 will render 'pool2' jobs, but if there are no more pool2 jobs, it will also render pool1 jobs. And vice versa. Really helpful to have 1 large renderfarm and split it between 2D and 3D or so, without loosing the ability to render on the whole farm when there are no jobs of a specific pool.
Qube has something similar called 'cluster' I believe.
How would I do something like this in Rush? I'd really like to combine our 2D and 3D farm, so the 2D farm would run 2D jobs during day time and helps rendering 3D jobs during the night (we don't have 2D jobs that are running all night long). And also be able to force urgent 2D jobs to use the 2D AND the 3D farm.
Thanks, Abraham
