Chapter 3: Using a Client in an ISIS System 27
In Figure 5, which shows a healthy read/write
test, the test loops so that the Read results and
Write results fall to zero as the test alternates be-
tween Reads and Writes. However, Reads and
Writes plot consistently in the Test Results
graph and appear level over the course of the
test.
In Figure 6, which shows problems in the con-
nection to the workspace, the average Read level
and Recent Read level display fluctuations. The
Peak Read should be lower and plot along a flat
line in the graph. Also, the average Read level is
higher than the average Write level, which
might indicate that the workspace is unmirrored
(that is, it is not a protected workspace).
These results represent guidelines for Avid-qual-
ified systems; performance on your system
might vary. If your Read/Write results differ
from those listed here by more than 5–10 MB/s,
see your Avid Unity ISIS administrator.
Adjusting Workspace Size
You can use the Client Manager to resize work-
spaces if your user account on the Avid Unity
ISIS system has the necessary privileges.
To adjust the size of a workspace:
1 Open the Client Manager (see “Connecting to
the Avid Unity ISIS System” on page 19).
2 In the Menu panel, click Workspaces.
3 In the Workspaces list, expand the display for
a selected workspace.
4 Click the handle of the Workspaces Size
graph, and drag it to resize the graphical display.
The workspace size listed in the Capacity text
box and the Free space size update as you drag
the handle.

Do not adjust workspaces while clients are
writing files to them.
You cannot reduce workspace size below the
storage space listed as the Used space size
above the Capacity text box, which indi-
cates the amount already allocated to files.
(For empty workspaces, the minimum work-
space size is 1 GB.) You also cannot in-
crease workspace size above the storage
space listed as the maximum size.
