Introducing NewsShare
NewsShare allows Aurora Edit to share a common news database and media volume,
making the editing workflow easier to create and maintain.
This chapter discusses NewsShare configuration for NAS and K2 networks:
•
Configuring the Database System Manager (DSM)
• Configuring Aurora Edit Workstations
• Testing the NewsShare Installation
Notes for K2 Networks
• Before creating a NewsShare environment, you first need to install and configure
a K2 Media Server (see the K2 Storage System Instruction Manual).
• Many K2 network components, particularly the StorNext File System (SNFS),
require all clients and servers to use fixed IP addresses. If your network uses a
DHCP server, you must create address reservations or a fixed address subnet.
• Complete IP connectivity must exist between all DSMs, K2 Media Servers, and
Aurora Edit workstations for a particular K2 network. You may find it convenient
to assign all machines on a K2 network to the same Workgroup.
