Mounting Workspaces as Drives: Lettered versus Letterless
100
The following information applies to mounting workspaces in an Interplay environment:
• Media Indexers that monitor shared storage must use UNC (letterless) drive mapping. See
“Using UNC Drive Mapping on Interplay ISIS” on page 55.
• Avid editing applications require login to the Avid ISIS Client Manager to read from a
workspace.
If your Windows username and password exactly match the Avid shared storage username
and password, login is automatic. If your Windows username and password do not match,
you need to log in through the Client Manager.
Drive mappings for read operations are not required except on Mac OS X systems.
n
Avid editing applications running on Mac OS X systems require drive mapping for any
workspaces that you use for reading or writing.
• In addition to a valid login, Avid editing applications must use drive mapping for any
workspaces that you write to.
For Windows systems, you must use lettered drive mapping. If you do not use lettered drive
mapping you cannot select a workspace in the Volume menu in the Capture tool, in the
Media Creation tool, or in the Import dialog box.
• In addition to a valid login, Avid editing applications, Avid Instinct, and Interplay Assist
require the following to use the Send to Playback feature:
- A workspace to which you have write access specified in the Editor Database Settings
view of the Interplay Administrator, in the option “Media Creation Workspace.”
When you send to playback, the application searches the workspaces to which you have
write access and writes a temporary file to a Temp folder at the top level of the
workspace with the most free storage space.
n
On Interplay Assist or Avid Instinct, if your workflow includes sending Long GOP (XDCAM HD
or XDCAM EX) media to playback, you need to mount at least one of the workspaces to which
you have write access as a lettered drive. If you do not have at least one workspace mounted as
lettered drive, you get an error message “Unable to find a shared storage volume for media
transfer.”
• To use Interplay Transcode and other Media Services, you must mount at least one
workspace for each shared-storage system that you use for reading and writing on the
provider system. You can mount the workspace as a UNC drive or a lettered drive.In most
cases, you do not need to mount each workspace that you use, but there is no harm in doing
so. For Interplay Transcode, if you use lettered drives, you must mount the target workspace.
