Mounting ISIS Workspaces as UNC Paths
A multiple ISIS configuration is likely to have a large number of workspaces. Mounting
workspaces as UNC paths provides the ability to mount more drives than the number of drive
letters available.
Starting with version 2.6, the Interplay Transcode service and the STP Encode service require
you to choose how ISIS workspaces are mounted: by drive letter or by UNC path. For multiple
ISIS workgroups, select UNC path. After installation, configure the ISIS Client Manager to use
UNC paths.
Working with Media Services and Interplay Transfer
in a Multiple ISIS Workgroup
Most Media Services and Interplay Transfer profiles include a setting for shared-storage
workspaces. If you are adding remote ISIS systems to an existing workgroup, your existing
profiles will work correctly with the workspaces as they are currently defined. The following
sections supply information about creating new profiles.
Move v2.6 and Later and Other Media Services
Interplay Move v2.6 and later supports high-speed transfer of media between multiple ISIS
systems. A 10-GB network is recommended. Existing profiles will work correctly with the
workspaces as currently defined. For a new or edited profile that specifies a workspace on a
remote ISIS system, the workspace path must include the hostname of the ISIS System Director
and the name of the workspace, in the standard UNC format:
\\hostname\workspace_name
The following illustration shows an example, in which a51-wg1-sd1 is the System Director for
the target ISIS system, and Highest_Copy is the target workspace.
