Updating the Interplay Archive Engine Software Updating the Interplay Archive Engine Software When you update the Interplay Archive Engine, do not delete the software using the Add/Remove Programs or any other mechanism for deleting software. If you delete the software, the system deletes the folder structure in place at the time of the update. To update the software, start the Archive Engine installer on the Interplay Servers Installer and follow the installation instructions.
6 Additional Configuration Topics This chapter covers the following topics: • Using Antivirus Software in an Interplay | Production Environment • Troubleshooting Firewalls and Interplay | Production • Integration of Journal Data into the Database • Mounting Workspaces as Drives: Lettered versus Letterless • Using Time Synchronization in an Interplay | Production Environment • Installing the Lookup Service on a Separate Server • Connecting Systems Directly to the Lookup Service Using Antivirus
Troubleshooting Firewalls and Interplay | Production Troubleshooting Firewalls and Interplay | Production Firewalls on client machines interfere with Interplay Production’s TCP/IP communications. Symptoms • The list of servers does not appear, for example, when you are connecting to a new database. • Connection establishment to the server fails. Cause These problems can be caused by personal firewalls installed on the client machine.
Mounting Workspaces as Drives: Lettered versus Letterless The journal file can grow in size when the Interplay Engine is extremely busy (for example, during a database schema upgrade), but will eventually shrink back to its default size (8 MB for the CCS database _InternalData, 32 MB for AvidWG and AvidAM). Journal integration is no longer suspended when a backup is performed. Therefore, journal data does not accumulate when a backup is running.
Mounting Workspaces as Drives: Lettered versus Letterless The following information applies to mounting workspaces in an Interplay environment: • Media Indexers that monitor shared storage must use UNC (letterless) drive mapping. See “Using UNC Drive Mapping on Interplay ISIS” on page 50. • Avid editing applications require login to the Avid ISIS Client Manager to read from a workspace. If your Windows username and password exactly match the Avid shared storage username and password, login is automatic.
Using Time Synchronization in an Interplay | Production Environment Note the following: - Starting with version 2.6, the Interplay Transcode service and the STP Encode service require you to choose during installation how ISIS workspaces are mounted: by drive letter or by UNC path. For multiple ISIS workgroups, select UNC paths if the number of workspaces required for the client exceeds the available drive letters. Mount the workspaces before you start the service.
Using Time Synchronization in an Interplay | Production Environment The following are the three typical ways of implementing Time Synchronization in an Interplay environment: • In Interplay environments that use Interplay Capture, a Capture system is usually designated as the Time Sync master. The Capture system can have an Adrienne card. Install the Service Framework Time Synchronization service on the Capture system and configure it as a Time Sync master.
Using Time Synchronization in an Interplay | Production Environment - Diagnostic Log Viewer - Health Viewer - Machine Monitor - Time Synchronization 2. On any system that has the Interplay Configuration Utility installed, click the Start button and select All Programs > Avid > Service Framework > Avid Interplay Service Configuration. The Interplay Service Configuration window opens. 3. Select the system that will be the Time Sync master and click Avid Time Synchronization.
Installing the Lookup Service on a Separate Server Time Synchronization Settings Options Description Get Time Sync reference from the local PC clock Select if you are simply using the local PC clock of one system on your network for time sync reference. Get Time Sync Reference from an NTP server Select when you are pointing to an NTP server on your network for time sync reference. n The NTP server does not need Service Framework software installed on it.
Installing the Lookup Service on a Separate Server For best results, connect each system running the Service Framework to the Lookup Service manually via the Workgroup Properties tool. This technique is called Unicast Discovery and is described in “Connecting Systems Directly to the Lookup Service” on page 98. Unicast Discovery ensures a direct connection to the Lookup Service. Technically there is no need for Unicast Discovery on a local subnet that contains a Lookup Service.
Connecting Systems Directly to the Lookup Service n There is no load balancing between Lookup Services. If you have two LUS systems they operate independently of each other. All Framework services register with both services. To ensure connectivity between subnets, use Unicast Discovery to connect all of your clients to both LUS.
Connecting Systems Directly to the Lookup Service n In this example, the name of the workgroup is the same as the name of the machine running the Lookup service. 9. Click Apply and click OK.
7 Workgroups with Multiple ISIS Systems The following topics describe support for multiple ISIS systems in a single workgroup: • Understanding Multiple ISIS Workgroups • Check List for Adding Multiple ISIS Systems to a Workgroup • Requirements for Multiple ISIS Workgroups • Adding Remote ISIS Systems to ISIS Client Software • Adding Remote ISIS Systems in the Interplay Administrator • Configuring Media Indexer for Additional ISIS Systems • Mounting ISIS Workspaces as UNC Paths • Working with
Understanding Multiple ISIS Workgroups Local ISIS System and Remote ISIS Systems An Interplay workgroup requires one ISIS shared-storage system that shares the same subnet with the Interplay workgroup. This ISIS system is considered the local system. You can use the ISIS client software on the Interplay Engine to add an ISIS system that exists on a different subnet. This ISIS system is considered a remote system. The following illustration shows an example of a multiple ISIS configuration.
Understanding Multiple ISIS Workgroups Limitations • Each workspace name in the workgroup must be unique. There can be no duplicate workspace names across the multiple ISIS systems. This restriction is especially important when using Interplay Access for tasks that require reference to a workspace, such as delete and search. In those parts of Interplay Access that require a workspace name, you cannot specify a shared-storage server name, only a workspace name.
Understanding Multiple ISIS Workgroups Playback of a sequence with clips from multiple ISIS 7500 - 7000 systems, multiple ISIS 5500 5000 systems, or a combination of the two systems is qualified. Playback of a sequence with clips from an ISIS 2500 - 2000 and an ISIS 5500 - 5000 or ISIS 7500 - 7000 is not qualified.
Check List for Adding Multiple ISIS Systems to a Workgroup Check List for Adding Multiple ISIS Systems to a Workgroup Use this checklist to add one or two remote ISIS systems to a workgroup that already includes a local ISIS system. Task Section Reference Review the requirements for adding a remote ISIS system. “Requirements for Multiple ISIS Workgroups” on page 105 Integrate the additional ISIS system or systems into the network.
Requirements for Multiple ISIS Workgroups Requirements for Multiple ISIS Workgroups Avid ISIS Hardware and Software Configurations Currently up to three ISIS shared-storage systems are supported for a single workgroup. The following models are supported, in any combination: • ISIS 2500 - 2000 systems • ISIS 5500 - 5000 systems • ISIS 7500 - 7000 systems Avid ISIS v4.0 or later server and client software is required.
Adding Remote ISIS Systems to ISIS Client Software ISIS Client Workspace Mounting If you are working in a multiple ISIS environment, you must mount at least one workspace for each ISIS system to which you are connected. You can mount the workspace as a UNC drive or a lettered drive. This requirement applies to Avid editing systems, Interplay Assist, Avid Instinct, and any Interplay components that require connection to an ISIS system.
Adding Remote ISIS Systems to ISIS Client Software 3. Enter the hostname for the remote ISIS server and click the Add (+) button. The ISIS server appears in the Host list. 4. Click the Apply button (green check mark) and close the dialog box. The remote host is listed in the Systems list.
Configuring Media Indexer for Additional ISIS Systems Configuring Media Indexer for Additional ISIS Systems One Media Indexer (MI) can index two or more ISIS systems in the same Interplay workgroup. The following limitations apply: • Each MI in the High Availability Group (HAG) must have access to all available ISIS workspaces. For information on setting up and configuring ISIS systems, see the Avid Products and Network Site Preparation Guide and the Setup Guide for your ISIS product.
Adding Remote ISIS Systems in the Interplay Administrator Adding Remote ISIS Systems in the Interplay Administrator If your workgroup is configured for Avid Unity Authentication, you need to specify each additional ISIS server name in the User Authentication Providers view of the Interplay Administrator. Users can then use their Avid ISIS credentials to log in to the Interplay database and access any additional ISIS servers to which they have access.
Adding Remote ISIS Systems in the Interplay Administrator To configure additional shared-storage systems for Unity Authentication in the Interplay Administrator: 1. In the User Management section of the Interplay Administrator window, click the User Authentication Providers icon. The User Authentication Providers view opens. 2. Click Avid ISIS Authentication. 3. Click the Add Avid ISIS button. 4. Type the System Director hostname for the additional Avid ISIS systems.
Mounting ISIS Workspaces as UNC Paths n In the Server Hostname Settings view of the Interplay Administrator, there is a setting for Fallback Shared-Storage Server. In most cases the name of the local ISIS system is entered automatically. If you need to manually enter the computer name, use the name of the System Director for the local ISIS system. Mounting ISIS Workspaces as UNC Paths A multiple ISIS configuration is likely to have a large number of workspaces.
Working with Media Services and Interplay Transfer in a Multiple ISIS Workgroup For more information, see “Working with the Move Service” in the Interplay | Media Services Setup and User’s Guide. Use the same format for workspaces in other Media Services profiles, such as Delivery and Transcode when the target workgroup includes multiple ISIS systems.
