Add Macintosh systems to SAN hosts file
licenses, permanent or temporary, that have been installed on this machine.
You should save the permanent license to a backup system.
Add Macintosh systems to SAN hosts file
1. On the K2 SAN's control point PC, open the hosts file in a text editor.
2. Following the convention in the hosts file, enter text in one line for each Final Cut
Pro Macintosh system as follows:
a. On a text line, type a Macinstosh system's control network IP address.
b. Use the TAB key or Space bar to insert a few spaces.
c. On that same text line after the space, type the machine name, such as
MacClient01.
The machine name cannot have any spaces in it.
This sets up the host file for resolving the machine name on the control network.
3. Save the hosts file.
4. Similarly configure the hosts file on the other devices of the K2 SAN.
5. Copy the hosts file or otherwise make the hosts file accessible to each Final Cut Pro
Macintosh system.
Enable Access Control Lists on the K2 Media Server (FSM)
Prerequisites for the K2 Media Server are as follows:
• Current compatible versions of the Windows operating system and SNFS software.
• Standard C:, D:, E: and V: disk volumes.
• SNFS has been configured with Grass Valley's Storage Utility.
• The SNFS configuration file is located in the D:\SNFS\config\ directory.
If desired, you can enable Access Control Lists (ACLs). If you do this task, you must
also configure Active Directory Domain on the Macintosh systems.
1. If a redundant K2 SAN, take FSM K2 Media Servers out of service and manage
redundancy as directed in documented procedures.
2. Navigate to D:\SNFS\config\ and open gvfs_hostname.cfg (where hostname is the
name of the primary FSM) in a text editor.
3. Confirm/enter/modify text lines as necessary to configure as follows:
WindowsSecurity Yes
EnforceACLs Yes
UnixIdFabricationOnWindows Yes
UnixDirectoryCreationModeOnWindows 0700
UnixFileCreationModeOnWindows 0600
UnixNobodyGidOnWindows 60001
UnixNobodyUidOnWindows 60001
