Test the Fibre Channel network using Media Manager
Use this procedure to perform a quick test of your video network setup with Media
Manager. Media Manager allows you to have access to media stored anywhere on your
network and provides tools for managing that media—such as explore, cut, copy, paste,
delete and transfer. You can manage media stored locally on the disk array attached to
the Profile XP system or on any Profile XP system connected to the network. You can
also transfer media stored on any Profile XP system on your video network via the video
network connection. For detailed information on using all the features of Media
Manager, refer to the Profile XP User Manual.
This procedure tests the Fibre Channel network starting with only two Profile XP
systems, then continues by adding one Profile XP system at a time until all systems are
on and tested.
NOTE: If you encounter a problem during any portion of this test procedure, refer
to Chapter 12, “Solving Common Setup Problems”, on page 289.
To test the Fibre Channel video network:
1. Power-on two Profile XP systems.
2. Perform the following test on each Profile XP system:
a. Double-click on the Port Server icon. This starts the Fibre Channel
communication tool. It must always be running on any machine where you are
using Fibre Channel. If you want, you can place Port Server in StartUp folder
and set it to run minimized. Make sure it’s running on the other Profile machine,
too.
b. Start Media Manager by double-clicking the shortcut on the desktop or by
choosing Start | Programs | Profile Applications | Media Manager . The Media
Manager window appears.
