3. In the “Lock comment” text box, type a comment as to why you are locking the server. This
comment is displayed when an Interplay Administrator tries to log into the Interplay Engine.
4. Click Lock Server.
The Lock Server view changes to display lock information. You cannot return to the
Interplay Administrator window by clicking the Menu button. You can log out of the
Interplay Administrator tool and then log in again.
To manually unlock the server after activating Lock Server, do one of the following:
t Log in to the Interplay Administrator, click the Lock Server icon, click Unlock Server and
log in to the Interplay Administrator.
t In emergency situations, run the command-line program
NxNServerUnlock.exe.
It is
installed by default on the Interplay Engine in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Avid\Avid Interplay Engine\Server
To lock the server and allow access to the host that acquires the lock:
1. In the Server section of the Interplay Administrator window, click the Lock Server icon.
The Lock Server view opens.
2. In the Exclusive Access section, select one of the following for the locking duration:
- Indefinitely: An indefinite shutdown. This is a good choice when shutting down the
server to carry out any vital maintenance, for example replacing hard drives, or making
the first backup of a new database. The server needs to be manually unlocked after
maintenance work.
- Minutes: Allows you to stipulate when to restart the server (short time frame). It is
useful when you are making routine backups and you know how much time you need.
Specify the time period by clicking the Up and Down arrows.
- Lock until: Allows you to stipulate when to restart the server (longer time frame).
Specify the time period by clicking the Up and Down arrows.
3. In the “Lock comment” text box, type a comment as to why you are locking the server. This
comment is displayed when an Interplay Administrator tries to log into the Interplay Engine.
4. Click Exclusive Access.
Exclusive Access Information is displayed. The “Accessible for” field lists the hostnames of
the host that acquired the lock and the Interplay Engine host.
