Configuring Primary and Mirror Platform Filesystems

5. On the primary SGI Media Server platform, verify that the configuration file
/usr/vtr/config/system-defaults/clipmirror contains the control
vtr.clipmirror.local_server.hostname and has the proper value to
permit transfers over a dedicated network interface.
6. On the primary SGI Media Server and mirror platform, create a new user account
named vtrsync as shown in the following:
/usr/sysadm/privbin/addUserAccount -l vtrsync -u idnumber -g 0 -H
/usr/vtr/clips -S /bin/csh -P
The user ID (the variable idnumber in the example above) must be unique in the
system; it can differ for different servers. To check user IDs already in the system,
open the file /etc/passwd and view the third field. In the following example, the
user ID is 994:
tutor::994:997:Tutorial User:/usr/tutor:/bin/csh
7. For the new user account vtrsync (on each server), set the password to vtrsync
as shown in the following:
# passwd vtrsync
New Password:
Re-enter new password:
At each prompt shown above, enter vtrsync.
8. The access mode and ownership of the real-time filesystem on the primary
SGI Media Server must be set to allow access by the clip mirror. On the primary
SGI Media Server, enter the following:
# chmod -R 776 /usr/vtr/clips /usr/vtr/index
# chown root:sys /usr/vtr/clips /usr/vtr/index
The clip mirror service does not create subdirectories; they must be manually created on
the mirror real-time filesystem as needed to match the clip directory hierarchy on the
primary SGI Media Server.
