Replacing System Drives in the Engine
119
t If you are setting up the Engine as a Standby System Director, continue with
“Configuring System Director Resiliency” on page 88
.
t If adding an addition Engine for more storage, install the software without checking the
“This Avid ISIS Engine is the System Director” checkbox. For more information on
installing the Avid ISIS software; see
“Loading the Software” on page 67.
9. Use the Network Configuration Tool in ISIS Launch Pad to configure the 10 Gb connection
on the new Engine (see “Multiple Engines 10 Gb Connection to a Switch” on
page 72). The
Network Configuration Tool typically is displayed when loading the ISIS software. Click the
ISIS Launch Pad icon in the Taskbar’s System Tray.
n
You can also start the Network Configuration Tool by clicking Start > Programs > Avid > ISIS
Storage Manager > Network Configuration Tool.
10. Click Network Configuration Tool in the Storage Manager section of the Launch Pad.
The Network Adapters dialog box displays the System Director IP addresses.
11. Bind the Storage Manager in one of the following ways:
t Add this new Engine as a separate Storage Group.
t Add this new Engine as part of an existing Storage Group. A redistribution is required.
The data on the drives is distributed to include the new Engine. For information on using
the redistribution feature see the Avid ISIS Administration Guide.
For more information on binding the Storage Managers, see
“Binding the Storage
Managers” on page 78
.
Replacing System Drives in the Engine
There are two system drives installed in the Avid ISIS Engines. The two drives are mirrored and
accessible from the rear of the Engine. If you have a failure on either one of the two system
drives you can remove the failed drive and install a replacement without turning off the Avid
ISIS Engines. The Avid ISIS continues to run properly with only one system drive.
n
The drive carriers for the system drives are locked to prevent them from opening during
shipment. The plastic drive carrier key is mounted on the rear of the Engine beside the system
drives.
Saving ISIS Metadata
This procedure describes how to save the metadata stored on the system drives for the data
drives. Use this procedure when replacing hardware in a case where both System Director
system drives are not going to stay with the data drives.
