Configuring Visual Effects and Finishing Software

Do I Need to Perform These Tasks?

NOTE The tasks in this chapter do not apply to Lustre.

If you installed your application from scratch, perform the procedures in this

chapter to configure your application to access the media storage, and to use

the Wire network.

If you are upgrading an existing application, you have already performed most

of the procedures in this chapter during the original installation. You do not

need to repeat these procedures, unless you are adding new media storage devices

to your workstation.

The only task you might need to perform when upgrading from a previous

version is to transfer your projects and clip libraries to the new version. See

Upgrading Visual Effects and Finishing Projects to the Current Version (page

68) and Transferring Clip Libraries to 2012 Projects (page 69).

Configuring Media Storage

You can use your application with the following storage configurations:

■ A standard UNIX-compatible filesystem on a centralised SAN in your facility.

See Configuring a Direct Attached Storage or SAN as Media Storage (page

60).
