Disconnecting Clients from the Shared Storage Network
You can use the Connection Status dialog box to momentarily disconnect clients from the shared storage network.
Disconnecting clients moves them from active to inactive status in the list of active clients in the Connection Status
dialog box. Inactive clients display the time of the last logged contact between the System Director and the clients.
n
Before disconnecting a client from the network, determine the status of active clients (for example, determine
whether any clients currently have Workspaces mounted on the client you want to disconnect). For information on
using the Monitor tool to determine the status of active clients, see “Managing Active Clients” on page 59.
To disconnect a client from the shared storage network:
1. Select a client from the list.
2. Click Disconnect.
A dialog box opens asking you to confirm the action.
3. Click Yes.
The changes might not appear until the list is refreshed.
Monitoring Reservations
Normally, bandwidth reservations are initiated and configured automatically by Avid applications based on
bandwidth requirements. In some cases however, you might want to limit the bandwidth available to client systems.
Client workstation users can use the Client Manager to obtain a default bandwidth reservation on the ISIS system.
The actual bandwidth available to the client is the lowest of the following values:
• The default bandwidth requested by the Client Manager
• The maximum bandwidth assigned by the ISIS Administrator to the user
• The maximum bandwidth value assigned by the Management Console, either per-device or by the default
bandwidth allocation for auto-created devices
• The bandwidth limitation of the client device
You can use the Reservations page to monitor the status of client reservations, and to revoke client reservations, if
necessary.
