Creating a Storage Group
You can only create a Storage Group after you have bound the Storage Elements see
“Binding the Storage Elements” on page 69. One Storage Group is created per enclosure or
one Storage Group across multiple enclosures.
See the Avid ISIS 5000 Administration Guide or Help for additional information about
crating a Storage Group.
Creating Workspaces
Workspaces are locations to store and segregate data. They appear as network drives to the
clients. You can allow users to access some or all of the workspaces, and assign permissions
for how each user can access the data in a workspace.
Click the Workspaces icon in the Management Console. See the Avid ISIS 5000
Administration Guide for information on creating Workspaces.
Creating User Accounts
User accounts allow individual users, or groups of users, access to the workspaces. These
accounts allow users to mount or map Avid ISIS 5000 workspaces on their workstations.
Click the User icon in the Management Console. See the Avid ISIS 5000 Administration
Guide for additional information about creating new users.
Configuring the Client Network Properties
Before you can connect your Macintosh
®
or Windows clients to the Avid ISIS 5000
network, you must configure the network properties on each client. If using the default Avid
ISIS 5000 setup, you need to set a static IP address and subnet mask for the Ethernet port
connection on every client.
n
If your Avid ISIS network includes a DHCP server, clients can automatically obtain
IP addresses. You only need to assign static IP addresses on your Ethernet clients if you do
not have a DHCP server.
