How to connect to Octane Server?

[ONYX]

Hello,

at the moment my set up is fine but I have an unused GTX480 which I want to use for Octane.
My mainboard allows another GPU but at the moment I must use one PCIe 3.0 slot for a display card (FX 580).
I tried to get the internal intel hd to work for several days. Without an nvidia driver the system works fine and stable with ubuntu 14.04 LTS but I can't use Octane.
After installing the nvidia driver sometimes the system hangs and is not usable for production use. I must deactive the internal intel gpu. To avoid problems I decided to use an other nvidia card for display.

Now my idea was to use the system only as renderer by changing the display Quadro FX580 against the unused GTX480. I want to start OctaneServer and connect to this machine from my old system which is good enough for modeling. So my setup should look like this:

OctaneServer
OS Ubuntu 14.04 LTS CPU Intel Core i5-4670 RAM 2x4GB
Display none
Render-GPUs NVIDIA GTX 780/3GB (2x), NVIDIA GTX 480/1.5GB
Driver 331.62 CUDA-Toolkit 6.0

OctaneBlender
OS Ubuntu 14.04 LTS CPU Intel Xeon W3530 8 x 2.8 GHz RAM 2x3GB
Display NVIDIA Quadro FX 580 - 512 MB
Render-GPUs none
Driver 331.62 CUDA-Toolkit 6.0

Before I spend (maybe) hours to get this stack to work I want ask whether this should generally should work?! And what I have to know for this scenario?

I have an standalone and a blender plugin (OctaneBlender) license.

Nice side effect would be that the renderer doesn't heat my feet under my desk and annoying my ears all the time. I could put that thing in the climatised server room.

In current versions the OctaneServer will work only on the same machine where Blender is running.

Hi ONYX, you can work remote on your Octane Server if you start OctaneBlender on the same system over ssh or TurboVNC for example. You need a remote software with OpenGL support for Blender.
SSH and Teamviewer work but it is to slow, fine for testing, TurboVNC is fine.
Really cool is x11vnc.

Cheers, mib.

Thank you both. Further changes at my system I can't do right now but I will give ssh a try after a big exibition at the end of may.

Cheers
