Setup guide

NOTE To set the filesystem to automatically mount at boot, create an
entry for it in the /etc/fstab file. Type man fstab in a terminal for details.
■ Create the Managed Media Cache directory on the mounted
filesystem, in a directory named after the workstation hostname. The
Managed Media Cache directory should be named after the partition
name (by default, partition 7, or p7).
For example, if the filesystem mount point is /mnt/StorageMedia, your
workstation hostname is smoke1, and the partition name is p7, type:
mkdir -p /mnt/StorageMedia/smoke1/p7
■ Set the ownership for the directory created in the previous step to
the root user. For example:
chown -R root:users /mnt/StorageMedia/smoke1/p7
■ Set permissions for the directory to be readable, writable, and
searchable by the owner and its group, and readable and searchable
by all. For example:
chmod -R 775 /mnt/StorageMedia/smoke1/p7
5 Optional: If you want to use several media storage volumes (for example,
additional direct-attached storage arrays, or SAN volumes), repeat step
3 to create separate mount points and Managed Media Cache directories
for each additional volume. The DKU only creates the mount point and
/etc/fstab entry for the initial volume (/dev/vg00/lvol1).
6 To make your application aware of the standard filesystem volumes,
define the Managed Media Cache of each volume as a partition in the
Stone and Wire configuration file, and set its preferences:
■ Open the file /usr/discreet/sw/cfg/stone+wire.cfg in a text editor.
The settings for each partition are defined in a
[Partition<partition_number>] section of the file. For example
[Partition7].
NOTE By default, the stone+wire.cfg file contains only one [Partition]
section. If you are using multiple volumes, create copies of the
[Partition] section for each volume, and configure them accordingly.
■ Uncomment the Name keyword and enter a meaningful name for the
volume. For example:
Name=XFS_partition
This name identifies your storage volume in the application.
■ Uncomment the Path keyword and specify the path to the Managed
Media Cache directory on the mounted volume. For example:
