9 Avid ISIS 7000 Storage Blade Agent
You can view detailed information about all Storage Elements and all chassis switches
connected to the media network by using the Avid ISIS Agents. The Agents run as a Web
service on the Storage Elements — ISIS Storage Blades (ISB) — and on the chassis
switches — Integrated Switch Blades (ISS) and ISIS Expansion Switch Blades (IXS). You
can access the Agents during installation and configuration procedures by attaching a laptop
to the Management port on the ISS or IXS, or you can access them during normal system
operations from the ISIS Management Console.
You can also access the Agents from the System Monitor tool. For more information, see
“Viewing Information in the System Monitor Tool” on page 165.

You must have Administrator privileges to access the Agents.
