Setup guide

2 Run the install script (for example from the USB device): /mnt/usbdisk/DKU-<version>/INSTALL_DKU.
When the DKU installation script completes, a warning to update the AJA card or DVI-Ramp firmware
may appear and you are returned to the command prompt. If your workstation is connected to a SAN,
run the install script with the --multipath parameter to install the multipath version of the ATTO driver,
e.g. /mnt/usbdisk/DKU-<version>/INSTALL_DKU —multipath.
3 If you installed from a disc, return to the root directory, and eject the disc with the command eject.
4 Before rebooting the system, ensure the Wacom tablet is connected. If storage devices (external disk
arrays or internal storage) were previously disconnected or turned off as part of an operating system
installation, reconnect and power them up.
5 Reboot the with the command reboot. After the workstation reboots and until you install the
application, the Wacom tablet might not behave correctly. Installing the application, then logging out
of the KDE desktop and logging back in should eliminate this problem.
Check the AJA Firmware
Before upgrading the AJA firmware, make sure you have upgraded the DKU, and that you have restarted
the system.
1 In a terminal, as root, run /usr/discreet/DKU/current/Utils/AJA_firmwareUpdate/AJAfw_update. If
you have an AJA OEM-2K card, you must start the firmware update by typing Y and then pressing
Enter. If you have a AJA Kona 3G, the upgrade begins automatically. While the AJA firmware and
drivers are being updated, your workstation appears to be frozen and your mouse and keyboard do not
work. This is normal and indicates that the firmware is being updated. Once the firmware update is
complete, you are returned to the terminal.
2 Shut down the system with shutdown -g0. If the system does not prompt you to power down, press
the power button for 10 seconds to force a power down.
3 Disconnect the power cord, wait 10 seconds, reconnect the power cord, then restart the system.
Configure storage
Before you can use a new storage array, create logical units (LUNs) on it, and then create the XFS filesystem
on the logical volume.
Scripts are provided to configure your storage for Dot Hill (DH) storage or for XR storage
/usr/discreet/DKU/current/Utils/Storage/*/*_config.pl. For help, run XR_config.pl --help or
DH_Configurator --help
Manually configure media storage (page 26) is also possible.
The workstation must be running the custom Autodesk distribution of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and the
correct DKU.
If you are configuring an XR storage array with two sets of enclosures, connect only one set of enclosures,
and then perform the filesystem creation procedures in the next section. Then disconnect the storage, and
repeat the entire process for the second set of enclosures.
Workflow
1 Set up any Storage Area Network (SAN), before setting up a DAS.
2 When configuring a storage array, you can disconnect other storage devices (DAS or SAN) from the
workstation so that you do not unintentionally format the wrong device.
3 If configuring arrays with two XR enclosures, ensure only one set of enclosures is connected to the
workstation.
