# Starting Backburner Manager

Before you can start a network render, you must start Backburner Manager on a Windows or Linux workstation designated as the Manager, and start Backburner server on each rendering server.

Lustre supports Autodesk Backburner™2012. In Backburner, the Backburner Web Monitor has all the features of the Windows-based Backburner Monitor. The Backburner Web Monitor runs in a Web browser from any workstation on the network. You can use it to view and control jobs currently being processed. Jobs in the Distributed Queueing System can be stopped, restarted, reordered, archived, or removed. You can monitor the overall health of the Distributed Queueing System and identify any Render Nodes that are not working. See the Autodesk Backburner User Guide.

For details on starting and configuring Backburner Manager, see the Autodesk Backburner Installation Guide.
