Configuring a Media Server

Mounting Workspaces on a Media Server

Trilligent Cluster and MediaNet workgroup workspaces are mapped

to specific drive letters using the AISPortServer.ini file. This ensures

that a relationship between streaming server mount points, FTP

virtual directories, and mapped drives is maintained.

You must mount at least one workspace that can be used as the mount point

for either the Windows Media Services software or the Real Server software.

Workspace names are case-sensitive and can have no spaces in the names.

To configure the AISPortServer.ini file:

1. Navigate to D:\Program Files\Avid Technology\AvidUnity\

PortServerStartup.

2. Open the AISPortServer.ini file using a text editor, such as

WordPad.

3. Add one line for each workspace you want to map to a specific

drive letter. Each line should use the format X: workspace, where X

is the drive letter and workspace is the name of the workspace to

mount. Workspace names are case sensitive. Your file might have

entries that look like this:

4. Save the AISPortServer.ini file.

5. Reboot the LANserver to mount the workspaces entered into the

AISPortServer.ini file.

# To mount a specific workspace using a fixed drive letter, add one line

# for each workspace in the following format:

#U: Workspace name

G: Workspace1

H: Workspace2

# The remaining available drive letters will be used to mount other workspac

# in alphabetical order, up to the maximum of 21 workspaces.
