Setup guide

DescriptionOption
Specifies the path on the Wiretap server host to translate.-p
Specifies the file containing the paths on the remote host to translate to the path on the local host,
delimited by new lines.
-f
Specifies the destination host name. The default is localhost.-H
Specifies the destination operating system (Linux, Windows NT, Mac OSX).-O
NOTE Either -p or -f must be specified, but not both.
To test the path translation database:
1 Change to the Stone and Wire tools directory: cd /usr/discreet/sw/tools
2 Type the sw_wiretap_translate_path command with the appropriate options.
For example, suppose you have a SAN mounted as “/CXFS1” on your Flame workstation (flame1). A Windows
PC (windows1) will mount the SAN as “N:\”. The path translation file contains the following entries:
<map src_host=“flame1” src_path=“/CXFS1”
dst_host=“windows1” dst_path=“N:\”>
From the workstation, open a new terminal and type:
./sw_wiretap_translate_path -h flame1 -p /CXFS1/myclips -H windows1
The result should return the value of the destination path, which represents how “windows1” will
mount“/CXFS1” on “flame1”.
N:\myclips
NOTE If the result returns the value of the source path, the translation database entry was not successfully applied.
Troubleshoot the Wire network
This section describes some common Wire problems and steps you can take to solve them.
Testing Wire Using sw_framestore_dump
Use sw_framestore_dump to identify the Wire hosts that are reachable from one workstation. You should
do this if you are having any problems with Wire or after you configure Wire for the first time. You must
have at least two Wire hosts set up to test Wire connectivity:
1 Run: /usr/discreet/sw/tools/sw_framestore_dump. A list of all the available framestores appears in
the terminal. Review the output and verify that all the framestores on your Wire network appear in
the list. You can also verify that each framestore on your network is using a unique framestore ID.
■ If You are unable to see other Wire hosts on your network, check:
■ The filesystem and networking configurations in sw_framestore_map.
■ The sw_probed.cfg port number.
■ You may also have problems with your Wire network. Use sw_ping to test that you can connect
to other Wire hosts.
