---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Softimage 3D for IRIX, versions 3.51, 3.7
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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
