The Þrst time the multichannel AirPlay MP system is launched, access

should be correctly conÞgured for all channels on the system. Most

systems are conÞgured by Avid. By default, new disks are conÞgured

with write access for all channels. If you are adding additional disks,

you should lock all channels, except the record channel.

If you assign two channels write access to the same volume, you will

corrupt the volume. Do not change write access unless you are cer-

tain of what you are doing. If you are unsure, call Avid Broadcast

Customer Support.

Multichannel AirPlay MP storage uses a speciÞc naming scheme.

Media drives that are part of the central storage are named shared

libraryn, with Shared library indicating that the volume is part of central

storage and n indicating the name of the speciÞc partition. Local

drives are named Localn, with Local indicating that the volume is not

part of central storage and n indicating the name of the speciÞc

partition (1 Ð 99).

When names are changed on shared library drives, power off all other

channels, perform the name change (preferably on the record channel

with write access), and reboot the channel where the changes were

made.

Verify the lock status of the other channels from within VScanner vol-

ume information command, one channel at a time. Failure to do so

could corrupt one or more drives and cause system failures. The

VScanner icon is located in the Avid AirPlay folder.

Changing the naming scheme of shared volumes affects media shar-

ing.
