Chapter 1 Nearchive Hardware Overview This chapter introduces the Nearchive enclosure in both its models: the Nearchive Base Server and the Nearchive Base Server with the optional Nearchive Storage System. The Nearchive Base Server is capable of near-line storage for Avid Unity MediaNetwork workgroups, as well as storage for clips, sequences, and non-Avid objects in conjunction with the Avid Composer Products editors.
Chapter 1 Nearchive Hardware Overview Introduction to the Nearchive Base Server and Storage System The Nearchive Base Server provides access to Ethernet clients over a Gigabit Ethernet network (see “Nearchive Base Server Cabling” on page 16). The hardware configuration consists of a Nearchive Base Server, with approximately 5.5 terabytes (TB) of internal storage, running MediaManager and TransferManager. Nearchive uses approximately 50 gigabytes (GB) of space for application and database storage.
Common Nearchive Features The Nearchive Base Server requires an application key (commonly called a dongle) for the MediaManager and TransferManager functionality. Avid Composer Products clients do not require Nearchive application keys. However, the clients do require TransferManager software, and access to a TransferManager server. Common Nearchive Features The Nearchive Base Server uses the Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server operating system with Service Pack 4.
Chapter 1 Nearchive Hardware Overview Nearchive Front Panel The front of the Nearchive Base Server and Storage System has a single door (see “Nearchive Hardware with Front Door Closed” on page 18).

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting This chapter provides information on troubleshooting your Nearchive Base Server and Storage System. The following topics are covered in this chapter: • Using the ping and tracert Commands • Nearchive Enclosure Is Whistling • Failed Nearchive Drives • Resetting the Nearchive Enclosure Power Supply Modules Using the ping and tracert Commands Ethernet networking is the backbone for the Nearchive Base Server and Storage System.
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting You can use many options with ping. This section discusses two types of ping syntax: ping [System Name] where [System Name] is the network name of the remote system to which you are testing connectivity or ping [IP Address] where [IP Address] is the IP address of the remote system to which you are testing connectivity. To run the ping command: 1. Open an MS-DOS® command prompt window. 2. At the command line, type the ping command (for example, ping 192.168.10.5).
Using the ping and tracert Commands tracert While ping can test for connectivity between two network hosts, tracert (short for “trace route”) can verify the network path that the data uses to travel between the two hosts. Because Avid Composer Products applications are data intensive, it is important that large amounts of data be transferred between the Nearchive Base Server and Storage System and its clients in a timely fashion.
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting If your network is configured correctly, the tracert result will show only one entry and then indicate that the trace is complete. More than one entry indicates that the traffic is going through a router, which significantly affects performance. If your tracert result shows more than one entry, most likely there is an incorrect IP address or subnet mask configuration on the local host. Nearchive Enclosure Is Whistling Problem: The Nearchive enclosure is making a whistling sound.
Failed Nearchive Drives Locating and Preparing a Failed Drive for Removal The Nearchive Base Server and Storage System is configured to have four independent, 4-drive RAID5 arrays. All these arrays are referred to by the 3DM utility as Unit 0 and Unit 1. There are 2 controllers each has its own set of array 0 and 1. To locate a failed drive: 1. The 3ware 3DM utility monitors the four 4-drive RAID5 arrays. When a failure occurs, an Event Notification Message pop-up window opens. 2.
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting To remove a drive from the Nearchive enclosure: 1. Open the door on the front of the Nearchive enclosure from which you want to remove a drive. The door is unlocked when the key slot is in the 12-o’clock position. If the door is locked, locate the key to unlock the door. 2. Check to make sure the drive you want to remove is unlocked. The drive is locked when the key slot is in the 9-o’clock position. 3.
Resetting the Nearchive Enclosure Power Supply Modules n The rebuild process can be run in the background, but if you continue to use the system during the rebuild, the rebuild time will be significantly extended. Also, you will not have redundancy protection during the rebuild period. 10. The 3DM Home menu will show the rebuild progress (Rebuilding X% completed). The 3DM utility will post a message when the rebuild is complete.
