Adding Storage Managers From Another Environment (ISIS | 7500)
If adding Storage Managers that were previously used in another environment, first connect them to your Avid ISIS
shared storage network, and then bind them to the ISIS using the Storage Manager page.
To add the Storage Managers to your current Storage Group:
1. Make sure the new Storage Managers are connected to the network. For information on connecting
Storage Managers, see the Avid ISIS Setup Guide.
2. Open the ISIS Management Console. (For information on opening the ISIS Management Console, see
“Opening the Management Console” on page 15.)
3. Click Storage Manager in the System panel.
The Storage Manager page opens.
If the ISIS Management Console was open when you added the Storage Manager, click Refresh to view the
newly added Storage Manager.
If the Storage Managers are not listed, something might be wrong with their physical connections; see the Avid
ISIS Setup Guide.
4. Add the new Storage Managers to your Storage Group (see
“Adding Storage Managers to Storage Groups” on
page 65
).
5. Click Apply.
A dialog box opens asking you to confirm the action.
6. Click Yes.
The selected Storage Managers are added to the Storage Group.
Deleting Storage Groups
You can delete any Storage Group that does not have any Workspaces on it. As a result, all Storage Managers
previously assigned to the Storage Group return to the system’s pool of spare Storage Managers.
To delete a Storage Group:
1. If any Workspaces exist on the Storage Group you want to delete, first delete the Workspaces (see “Deleting
Workspaces” on page 79
).
2. From the Management Console home page, click Storage Groups in the System section.
The Storage Groups page opens.
3. In the Storage Groups list, select the Storage Group you want to delete.
4. Click Delete.
