Standby and hibernation |
The Distributed OrcaFlex server is capable of waking machines running the Distributed OrcaFlex client program from standby or sleep states when they are required to run jobs. In order for this to function, the client machine’s BIOS needs to be configured to allow Wake On Lan (WOL) and the network card’s Power Management needs to be configured to allow it to bring the machine out of standby state (Network Card, Properties, Power Management). Also, this feature needs to be enabled in the DOF server itself via a registry setting described in the server documentation.
| Note: | The server cannot be allowed to hibernate or to go into standby and must be running at all times. |
The Clients page in the viewer reports the following states:
DOF client is connected to the server and is ready to accept jobs.
DOF server is attempting to wake the machine from standby state.
Client is no longer connected to the DOF server, it maybe shutdown, or in standby.
The client version is too old for the DOF server version. The DOF client and DOF server and DOF viewer must be at the same software version as they share a communication protocol.
