Migrating an Archive Provider
35
Using a 1Gb Onboad NIC on the Move Provider
When using a 1 Gb onboard NIC on the Move Provider, connect one of the Pro/1000 PT
ports labeled 2 or 4 on the Move Provider directly into any 1 Gb port on the Avid ISIS
Engines. Avid does not recommend using the onboard NICs because performance is better
using the Myricom cards.
ISIS Connections and Client Software Installation
The Move Provider must be directly connected to the ISIS system, using a 10 Gb Ethernet
connection. For more information on cabling for Avid ISIS, see the Avid Products and
Network Site Preparation Guide.
To make the ISIS connections:
t Connect the Myricom card directly into the ISS 10-Gb port on the Avid ISIS Engine.
To install the ISIS Client software:
t Use the Avid ISIS installer USB flash drive to install the ISIS client software.
The Avid ISIS System Quick Start Card, located in the top-level Avid ISIS
Documentation folder on the Avid ISIS installer flash drive, contains instructions for
installing Avid ISIS client software. See the ISIS ReadMe for additional information
about installing the client software on your system.
Migrating an Archive Provider
The Archive Provider runs Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. The server does not require any PCIe
cards. For more information about configuring an Archive Provider, see the Avid Media
Services Setup and User’s Guide.
