To view Client Manager event logs: 1. Open the Client Manager.
3 Avid PathDiag Tool Avid PathDiag tool is a diagnostic utility that allows you to validate your Avid NEXIS storage group by quantifying the throughput of Windows or Mac editing applications accessing Avid NEXIS workspaces. The Avid PathDiag tool can also test the throughput from local storage elements and any other shared storage to which a client has access. n The Path Diag Tool provides basic diagnostics. For more robust tests and results, use the Avid Benchmark Utility.
PathDiag Tool Interface The primary user interface of PathDiag tool consists of a single window from which you can select the test to be performed, start and stop the selected test, and view the test results as the test progresses. You access auxiliary controls through dialog boxes. The callouts in the figure below are described in the following sections.
Item Description IOs Displays the current number of I/O operations that have been completed during the test Current Rate (MB/s) Displays the calculated throughput or bandwidth (in megabytes per second [MB/s]) for recent I/O operations that have been completed Average Rate (MB/s) Displays the average throughput or bandwidth (in megabytes per second) for the duration of the test Errors Displays the number of errors encountered during testing.
The Test Results graph plots results measured over time, which is particularly useful when you want to observe trends or patterns in performance. For example, if another process is running that creates a periodic high demand on the storage subsystem being tested, you might see a periodic drop in observed throughput in the Test Results graph.
2. Do the following: a. Choose a Test Name from the drop-down list. The predefined tests perform reads or writes at a bandwidth similar to that required for DV 25, DV 50, IMX 30, or low resolution operations. b. Select a path to the workspace to test, or enter it in the field. This can be a UNC path (for example, \\myMachine\myShareFolder\subfolder). c. Set the test duration in minutes (2, 5, or 10), and whether or not to loop the test indefinitely.
Parameter Description File Access Method PathDiag tool supports more than one interface or protocol for accessing data. This option allows you to control which interface is used. Choose one of the available settings: Reads vs Writes • Automatically select — PathDiag tool selects a protocol automatically for testing the selected path. Generally, the tool selects Win32 File API for the specified path. • Win32 File API — PathDiag tool uses the Win32 File API for its data file access.
Parameter Description(Continued) Use named common file for Reads This option changes the way that the Path to Test parameter is used, and the option is intended for advanced users only. When you select this option, the Path to Test parameter must specify a full path, including a file name. The test utility uses the named file for its Read tests. The utility creates the file if it does not exist and deletes it at the end of testing.
2. Select Network Connectivity Test from the File Access Method menu. The Network Hosts list displays the available systems in your network. 3. Type the host name or the IP address of the network system you want to test. 4. (Option) Set the Ping Data Buffer Size. The default buffer size is 8192 bytes, and the maximum buffer size is 64 KB. 5. Click OK. When you run the Network Connectivity test, results display in the Test Results graph area of the PathDiag tool.
Network Connectivity Results Category Description Source The IP address of the client system Target The host name and IP address of the target system Sent The number of packets sent Recv The number of packets received Lo RTT (ms) The minimum round-trip time (in milliseconds) Hi RTT (ms) The maximum round-trip time (in milliseconds) Avg RTT (ms) The average round-trip time (in milliseconds) Lo Hops The minimum number of forwarding routers in the path between the source and the target system
Also, if the throughput is slow as the test is starting, this might be reflected in the average rate. For example, if the target bandwidth is 4.0 MB/s, the actual average rate calculated at the conclusion of the test might be 3.98 or 3.99 MB/s. Performance Graph The graph of results over time can help experienced users obtain information about system performance.
4 NEXIS Log Utility The Avid NEXIS Log Utility, primarily used by Avid Customer Support, shows logging information for the Avid NEXIS client connection. This utility is installed with the Avid NEXIS client software and helps to diagnose client issues using a common user interface for Windows, Mac, and Linux clients. The Log Utility automatically compresses and timestamps continuous logs.
- Default — Use this profile if you are unsure of which profile to use. These logs capture general Avid NEXIS client problems. - Client Hang — Capture these logs if the editor stops while capturing, playing, consolidating, or transcoding to an Avid NEXIS Workspace, and you want to see if the unexplained client failure is associated to Avid NEXIS functions. Many of these failures could be an issue with the editor.
3. Click Load. The configuration for the selected Profile is loaded. n To view the test configuration that was loaded, click the Configure button. 4. Click “Current Settings” in the Tools section to change the configuration settings. 5. Select or deselect the changes you want in the Snapshot Options, Trace Buffer Filtering, and Continuous Logging sections of the window. 6.
