Installing Software on an Avid Interplay Media Indexer Server
55
There are three basic ways to configure a Media Indexer:
• The leader of a High Availability Group. The leader can index shared storage and it can also
monitor other Media Indexers. On a small configuration, the Media Indexer software might
be installed on the Avid Interplay Engine. In this case, configure a High Availability Group
with one member configured on the Interplay Engine.
n
You always need a High Availability Group to monitor shared storage, even if it is a group of
one.
• Additional members of a High Availability Group. Members that you add to a High
Availability group (HAG) provide redundancy and load balancing for the leader.
• The Media Indexer on each Avid editing application system. These local Media Indexers
connect to the High Availability Group.
For information on the maximum number of files that a Media Indexer can monitor, see the Avid
Interplay Best Practices guide and the Avid Interplay ReadMe.
Before Installing Media Indexer Software
The following are important for a successful Media Indexer configuration:
• Before you configure Media Indexer on a Windows system, install the Service Framework
software and verify that it’s running. For additional information, see “Verifying that the
Service Framework Services Are Running” on page 86.
• Before you configure Media Indexer to monitor your Avid shared storage workspaces, the
workspaces must have an Avid MediaFiles folder. To create the folder, you can either use an
Avid editing application to capture or import media to the workspace or you can manually
create an Avid MediaFiles folder.
• Do not use spaces or special characters in your workspace names.
Using UNC Drive Mapping on Interplay ISIS
On Avid ISIS, you must select the “Use UNC (Letterless) Drive Mapping” option on the Media
Indexers that monitor shared storage.
To set UNC Drive Mapping:
t In the ISIS Client Manager window, select Preferences and select the letterless option.
For more information, see “Mounting Workspaces as Drives: Lettered versus Letterless” on
page 99 and “Installation Check Lists” on page 18.
