Setup guide

To start the application the first time:
1 Log into your workstation.
2 Do one of the following:
■ If this is the first time you are starting the application on a new system, open a terminal and type
/usr/discreet/<product_home>/bin/startApplication -v to initialize the framestore
and start the application. For example:
/usr/discreet/flame2010/bin/startApplication -v
WARNING The -v option deletes all material on the framestore. Use this option only if you have no
material that you want to preserve on the framestore.
■ If you want to start the application without initializing the framestore, double-click the application
icon on the Desktop.
The Autodesk Master Systems Software License Agreement appears.
3 (Optional) To view the License Agreement in another language, click a language tab at the bottom of
the License Agreement window.
The localized version of the License Agreement appears in a new window.
4 Read the text carefully, and click I Accept if you agree to all the terms in the License Agreement.
The Project Management menu appears.
5 Use the Project Management menu to create a project and a user.
For information on creating projects and users, see the application Help.
6 Click Start or press Enter.
7 When prompted to confirm the framestore initialisation, answer “yes”.
After a few moments, the following message appears:
Startup complete.
You are ready to start working in the application. If you see a splash screen rather than the application
interface, click anywhere on the screen.
NOTE If you receive the error message “VOLUMEMGT: Error initialising volume stonefs” during startup, there is
a problem communicating with the framestore. This error message may appear if you launch the application
immediately following a reboot, before the Volume Integrity Check on the framestore has had time to complete.
In this case, wait a few minutes and start the application again. This error message may also be due to a mismatch
between the framestore ID in the /usr/discreet/sw/cfg/sw_framestore_map file and the one defined in the
/usr/discreet/sw/sw_config utility. This can occur when you install on a workstation with previously configured
storage.
