Chapter 5 UIM-SAN-FCIP Installation: Grass Valley Open SAN System
Onsite planning
Use the following sections to plan the deployment of the UIM-SAN-FCIP in the Grass
Valley Open SAN Shared Storage system.
CAUTION: Do not connect IP port on the UIM-SAN-FCIP to the
Fibre Channel SCSI fabric. The IP driver on that port will cause Open
SAN record and playout to fail. Do not mix IP and SCSI fabrics on the
same Fibre Channel switch.
Specify host names in the Open SAN
When deploying the UIM-SAN-FCIP in an Open SAN Shared Storage system, you
must follow a strict host naming convention within the Open SAN for client
machines, including the UIM-SAN-FCIP. You must use a common prefix to name
each client machine, as shown below:
[common prefix]_ [client hostname]
For example, you could identify the Open SAN system as SAN1; you would then use
SAN1 as a prefix to name all the client machines in the shared storage system—
SAN1_XP1, SAN1_XP2, and so on. The naming convention does not need to apply to
the FSM host name, but it can for consistency.
The following diagram illustrates the naming convention. Use this as a model for
specifying host names in your Open SAN Shared Storage system.
