Management Tools
The MediaNetwork software provides three tools that run on the File Manager,
allowing you to set up the hardware and perform day-to-day management
tasks. The tools are:

The following sections provide an overview of each tool.

There are several advanced configuration and troubleshooting tools that you
should not need to use unless instructed to do so by Avid Customer Support.
For more information, see the Avid Unity MediaNetwork Management
Guide.
Setup Manager
You use the Setup Manager to perform storage hardware management tasks,
including:
• Creating and managing a drive set
• Specifying drives as data drives, spare drives, or raw drives
• Starting and stopping the File Manager service to perform system
maintenance
• Adding drives to and removing drives from the drive set
• Performing drive maintenance and error recovery operations
“Setup Manager” on page 36 shows the Setup Manager window. The Setup
Manager runs only from the File Manager.
