Chapter 3 Configuring the system
Verify archive preparations
Be aware of the following when setting up for integration with an archive system:
• Devices support a limited number of concurrent transfers, as follows:
• A single Profile XP provides a maximum of four streams for concurrent
transfers (via Fibre Channel).
• An internal storage (stand-alone) K2 Media Client provides a maximum of four
streams for concurrent transfers.
• A K2 Media Server provides a maximum of eight streams for concurrent
transfers.
Keep this limit in mind when configuring the archive device for concurrent
transfers. If the archive is configured such that it can request more than the number
of supported streams simultaneously from any single system, the additional
transfers will error out.
For the type of archive device you use, check the following to verify proper operation
with the system.
Avalon archive preparations
Check the following on the machine that runs Avalon IDM Software (Archive):
1. Login to the machine and go to /avalon/aam/utils
2. Run aamctrl stat and verify all services running properly.
3. Make sure host tables are set correctly. Verify the machine name/IP which the IDM
will talk to.
4. If archiving from a Profile XP standalone, make sure the Fibre Channel interfaces
are configured so that Avalon IDM can talk to the Profiles.
Consider the following when preparing to integrate Avalon archive with Aurora
Browse:
• Avalon archive has no fixed limit for concurrent transfers.
DIVA preparations
Check the following on the machine that runs DIVA software:
1. Login to the machine.
2. Verify that you can FTP from the DIVA server to the machine with the high-res
online material:
• If archiving from an M-Series or Profile XP standalone, verify that you can FTP
from the DIVA server to the Profile on the Ethernet IP address and login as user
movie .
• If archiving from K2 storage or AuroraShare NAS, verify that you can FTP from
the DIVA server to the K2 storage or AuroraShare NAS on Gigabit Ethernet and
login as user
vmfmovie .
3. Add a new Source and Destination.
