Fusers Pools

The fusers pool is used to share fusers between several PhotoMesh master computers in your organization. When working with a pool, the PhotoMesh master computer’s Build Manager requests fusers from the pool, and returns them when they are no longer needed. A distributed management approach is used to manage the pool fusers, whereby each PhotoMesh master computer manages its own fuser needs and resources. Fusers are allocated on a first come first served basis, i.e., to the first PhotoMesh Build Managers that request fusers from the pool. If a manager submits a request for a user, but no fusers are currently available in the pool, the manager continually checks the fusers pool for a fuser that was returned to the pool, at which point it assigns the fuser to its project’s working folder.  

Fuser allocation can be manually set from the Pool Manager page. From this page, you can monitor and manage all the fusers in the pool, e.g., assign fusers to specific projects’ working folders and prevent their being returned to the pool.
