Setup guide

■ On the mounted filesystem create the Managed Media Cache directory. The name should include
the partition name and the hostname. Set permissions for the directory to be readable, writable,
and searchable by the owner and its group, and readable and searchable by all:
1 mkdir -p /mnt/StorageMedia/smoke1/p7
2 chown -R root:users /mnt/StorageMedia/smoke1/p7
3 chmod -R 775 /mnt/StorageMedia/smoke1/p7
■ Optionally 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.
4 Configure Stone and Wire by editing the the following keywords in
/usr/discreet/sw/cfg/stone+wire.cfg. Usage is documented in comments in the file:
■ Path
■ Name
■ Shared
■ [DefaultFileFormats]
■ SymlinkAcrossFilesystems
5 If this is the first filesystem you are configuring for this workstation: Get the FRAMESTORE ID, e.g. grep
"FRAMESTORE" /usr/discreet/sw/cfg/sw_framestore_map and use the ID value to update
/usr/discreet/sw/cfg/sw_storage.cfg e.g.
[Framestore]
ID=myworkstation
6 Optionally Configure bandwidth reservation (page 65).
7 Restart Stone and Wire with: /etc/init.d/stone+wire restart
8 Check the filesystem is mounted: /usr/discreet/sw/sw_df.
Any project created in your application after this point has the new standard filesystem partition as its
primary partition. Any pre-existing projects are unaffected by this setting and remain associated to their
respective partitions.
Set up the Wire network
■ Wire is a component that enables the high-speed transfer of uncompressed video, film, and audio between
Autodesk workstations, over industry-standard TCP/IP and InfiniBand networks.
■ Wiretap is a networking protocol that allows products that do not run Stone and Wire to access the
filesystem of a Creative Finishing product.
Stop all Stone and Wire daemons before editing any of the following configuration files.
1 In a terminal, as root, stop Stone and Wire services with: /etc/init.d/stone+wire stop
2 Specify the network interfaces to be used by Wire in /usr/discreet/sw/cfg/sw_framestore_map
according to the instructions in the sw_framestore_mapman page.
3 Configure Wire self-discovery in /usr/discreet/sw/cfg/sw_probed_cfg file in a text editor. Ensure
the value of the Port keyword matches the value used by the other workstations in your network and
SelfDiscovery is set to “yes”. If these values are set properly, Stone and Wire uses its self-discovery
mechanism to locate all other Wire hosts on your network and make their framestores accessible to
your application.
