are restored using the original name (from archive). The DIVA MDI does,
however, allow a user specified name for a partial restore.

• DIVA has no fixed limit for concurrent transfers.

• If archiving from a Profile XP or Open SAN system, take the concurrent transfer

limit into consideration. DIVA’s setting for concurrent transfers applies to specific
source/destination pairs. With the configuration utility/tool you can specify the
concurrency limit on a server-by-server basis.

• The DIVA MDI makes an the assumption that the MDI is the only gateway to the

entire DIVA file system. Any changes made outside the scope of the MDI will not
be reflected in MDI immediately.

• Renaming of an asset is not supported in DIVA.

• A restore operation always defaults to highest “Time Critical” priority and an

archive operation defaults to “normal” priority.

• The source name specified in the DIVA configuration utility must be the same as

the host table name of the machine with high-res online material.

• If the DIVA server is rebooted, the Thomson DIVA MDI service must be restarted.
