Host table tips:
• If you are exporting EDLs to Aurora Edit, the Aurora Edit workstation must be able
to resolve the Profile MDI name (present in the EDL) to the IP address of the
Profile XP system to which the MDI connects. The recommended solution is to
map the MDI name to the Profile IP address in the Aurora Edit workstation’s host
table. Refer to
“MDI and Encoder logical names convention” on page 46 .
• The NAS and MediaFrame server IP address need to be resolved using the Client
side IP address via DNS lookup, not the host table.
• If the server has a canonical name, the host table for any machine that runs MDIs
that are subscribed to by the server must match case for the entire canonical name.
E.g., if the server’s canonical name is “NB-SERVER1.example.net”, then the host
table entry in the MDI server(s) must match; if the entry is
“NB-SERVER1.EXAMPLE.NET”, then it will not work. Pinging will not show
the problem. The problem doesn’t show up until the MDIs attempt to notify the
server.
Adding and configuring an Avalon archive
Avalon archive management software has reached end of service. The following
information on adding and configuring an Avalon archive to a Mediaframe system is
included here for reference only.
Avalon archive preparations
Check the following on the machine that runs Avalon IDM Software (Archive):
1. Login to the machine and go to /avalon/aam/utils
2. Run aamctrl stat and verify all services running properly.
3. Make sure host tables are set correctly. Verify the machine name/IP which the IDM
will talk to.
4. If archiving from a Profile XP standalone, make sure the Fibre Channel interfaces
are configured so that Avalon IDM can talk to the Profiles.
Consider the following when preparing to integrate Avalon archive with Aurora
Browse:
• Avalon archive has no fixed limit for concurrent transfers.
Add archive MDI
The archive MDI software component runs as a service, GV Avalon Archive MDI.
