Managing the Engine

Removing Engines from the Engine List
If you need to replace an Engine, you can use the ISIS Management Console to remove the
connection history of the inactive or inoperative Engine from the Engine list in the Engine page.
Once the Engine is removed from the ISIS file system, you can physically remove it from the
network.
For information on removing Engines from the network, see the Avid ISIS Setup Guide.
To remove an Engine from the Engine list:
1. In the Engine list, select the Engine you want to remove.
2. Click the Remove Status button.
The Engine is removed from the Engine list.
n
If you remove an active Engine by mistake, the System Director restores the Engine to the Engine
list the next time it polls the shared storage network (usually within 20 seconds).
Upgrading ISIS 7000 Engine Components
You can use the Engine page to upgrade the software for all Storage Elements and all Switch
Blades installed in an Engine and connected to the shared storage network. You can also upgrade
individual Storage Elements and switches.
n
You might lose network connectivity temporarily when you upgrade Switch Blades while the
upgrade process reboots the switches.
To upgrade all Storage Elements and switches in an Engine:
1. In the Engine list, select the Engine you want to upgrade.
2. Do one of the following:
t Click the Upgrade Blades button.
t Click the Upgrade Switches button.
The Upgrade Storage Elements dialog box or the Upgrade Switch Blades dialog box opens.
3. Select the upgrade installer from the list in the right column.
The Command text box displays the location of the upgrade installer.
c
Do not enter any text in the Command or Options fields except under the supervision of
qualified Avid support personnel. Doing so can result in system degradation and data loss.
