Installing the Lookup Service on a Separate Server
If you have more than 10 clients in your Avid Service Framework environment (including Avid
editing applications, Avid Instinct, and Avid Assist), Avid strongly recommends that you put the
Service Framework Lookup Service on a separate server such as a General Purpose Server. For
redundancy, you may decide to set up two separate servers running the Lookup Service. The
following section describes how to install the Lookup Service on a separate server.
To install the Lookup Service on a separate server:
1. Select the following from the Interplay Server Installer Main Menu:
Individual Optional Installers
2. Double-click Avid Service Framework Custom.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions and watch for the following items:
a. Enter your Workgroup name in the Workgroup Name window.
b. In the Options window, select “Typical Avid Interplay Server Install”.
Configuring Lookup Servers
After you complete the installation, use the Avid Interplay Service Configuration tool to check
that the Lookup Service is not running on other Interplay Servers, particularly on Media Indexer
servers.You can use the Avid Service Framework Workgroup Properties tool to disable the
service on other servers.
