Chapter 1

Setting Up the Windows

Ethernet Client

Each MediaNetwork Windows Ethernet client needs to be installed properly to function in a MediaNetwork workgroup or in a LANshare workgroup.

Topics in this chapter include:

Installation Prerequisites

Connecting the Windows Ethernet Client

Installation Prerequisites

The Windows Ethernet client software requires that you install several software packages before you start an installation. Installing an Ethernet client without the prerequisite software packages causes the client installer to quit.

The Ethernet client requires the following software, depending on your operating system:

• Windows NT Service Pack 5 or 6a

• Windows NT hotfix

Chapter 1 Setting Up the Windows Ethernet Client

• Windows 2000 Service Pack 2

• Windows 2000 hotfixes, if necessary

• Internet Explorer 5.5 or later

For instructions on installing the necessary service pack, see the release notes that came with your Windows workstation.

If you need to install Internet Explorer, a copy of the browser is provided on the MediaNetwork CD-ROM in the directory \Extras\IE\IE5 (Internet

Explorer 5.5) or \Extras\IE\IE6 (Internet Explorer 6.0).

c

Failing to install the hotfixes can cause unpredictable results or performance problems when you attempt to use the client.

n

Windows XP clients do not require hotfixes or service packs.

Windows NT Hotfix

Windows NT clients require the hotfix scsiport.sys. This update fixes a problem that can cause a client to crash to a blue screen when applications make SCSI bus scan calls. The hotfix is provided on the MediaNetwork

CD-ROM.

To install the hotfix:

1. Navigate to \Extras\HotFixes\NT40\Scsiport\ on the MediaNetwork

CD-ROM.

2. Double-click Hfx.exe.

The Hotfix Manager dialog box opens.

3. Click Install New Fix.

4. Follow the instructions provided to install the hotfix.

5. Click Done to close the Hotfix Manager dialog box.

6. Reboot the client.

16

Installation Prerequisites

Windows 2000 Hotfixes

Windows 2000 Ethernet clients are the Avid postproduction and broadcast editor products clients. You need to install the correct hotfixes on these clients as described in the following sections.

Windows 2000 Clients Running Service Pack 2

Windows 2000 clients require several hotfixes to improve system stability and performance. These hotfixes currently resolve problems with drive-letter assignments, hot-swap controllers, and drive-mode page settings. The hotfixes are provided on the MediaNetwork CD-ROM.

For the best results, install the hotfixes from the folders in the following order:

1. WebDAVServiceProvider (Q296441)

2. Service Rollup (w2kSP2SRP1)

To install the WebDAVServiceProvider hotfix:

1. Navigate to \Extras\HotFixes\Win2k\WebDAVServiceProvider on the

MediaNetwork CD-ROM.

2. Double-click the Q296441_W2K_SP3_x86_en.exe file.

The Windows 2000 Hotfix Setup dialog box opens when the installation is complete.

3. Click OK.

4. Reboot the client.

To install the Service Rollup hotfix:

1. Navigate to \Extras\ServicePacks\Win2k\ on the MediaNetwork

CD-ROM.

2. Double-click the w2kSP2SRP1.exe file.

The Windows 2000 Hotfix Setup dialog box opens when the installation is complete.

3. Click OK.

4. Reboot the client.

17

Chapter 1 Setting Up the Windows Ethernet Client

Connecting the Windows Ethernet Client

The Windows Ethernet client can connect to a MediaNetwork workgroup through a PortServer Pro system and an Ethernet switch, or it can connect to a LANshare workgroup through an Ethernet switch. You need to connect the client’s Ethernet 10BASE-T/100BASE-T port to an available

10BASE-T/100BASE-T port on the Ethernet switch.

The Ethernet path between the PortServer Pro or the LANserver and

Ethernet clients must be a direct, full-duplex connection using the

Avid-supplied Ethernet switch. Avid does not support half-duplex devices between the PortServer Pro or the LANserver and its clients, or client connections using other switches or hubs.

18

Connecting the Windows Ethernet Client c

When you are connecting the Ethernet client to the Ethernet switch, use only Category 5 or Category 5e Ethernet cables. Using other cables can cause client performance problems.

To connect the client’s Ethernet port to the Ethernet switch:

1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the rear

of the client (see Figure 3).

Chapter 2

Configuring the Windows

Ethernet Client

Each MediaNetwork Windows Ethernet client needs to be configured properly and have the correct software installed to function in a

MediaNetwork workgroup or in a LANshare workgroup.

Topics in this chapter include:

Using Windows 2000 Power Options

Setting the Date, Time, and Time Zone

Configuring the Network Properties

Installing the Avid Products Software

Installing the Windows Ethernet Client Software

Mounting Workspaces on the Windows Ethernet Client

Additional Client Procedures

Reconfiguring the Client Connection

Chapter 2 Configuring the Windows Ethernet Client

Using Windows 2000 Power Options

Windows 2000 offers power options to help manage power consumption on your Windows 2000 workstation. Avid recommends you do not use the power options to cause your workstation to go into Standby or Hibernate mode.

c

Two of the power options, Standby and Hibernate, can cause all the drives connected to a workstation (both local drives and remote drives connected through a MEDIASwitch) to go into an inactive mode. This prevents the File Manager from seeing the drive set and rebooting.

Also, all clients with mounted workspaces are unusable until the File

Manager and the storage are available again.

Setting the Date, Time, and Time Zone

You need to set the date, time, time zone, and Daylight Saving Time options correctly on the Windows client. This allows the “Synchronize the system clock with the PortServer or LANserver” function on the client to work properly.

To set the date, time, time zone, and Daylight Saving Time options on the Ethernet client:

1. Double-click the time in the taskbar.

The Date/Time Properties dialog box opens.

2. Set the date and time using the Date & Time tab.

3. Click the Time Zone tab.

4. Set the time zone for the location of the Windows Ethernet client. By default, Windows sets the time zone to “(GMT - 8:00) Pacific Time

(US & Canada); Tijuana.”

5. If your location observes Daylight Saving Time, select “Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes.”

6. Click OK to close the dialog box and save the settings.

7. Reboot the Ethernet client.

22

Configuring the Network Properties

Configuring the Network Properties

You need to configure the Windows Ethernet client’s network properties so it can communicate with the PortServer Pro network or the LANserver network.

Before you start to configure your client’s network properties:

• Determine whether you should use static or dynamic (DNS/DHCPbased) IP addressing.

Installing the Avid Products Software

Installing the Avid Products Software

The Windows Ethernet client requires a qualified version of the Avid products software, which allows it to use the MediaNetwork storage or

LANserver storage when the client is connected to a MediaNetwork workgroup or a LANshare workgroup. Before you install the Ethernet client software, install the qualified version of the Avid products software.

To determine if you have a qualified version of Avid products software, see the Avid Unity MediaNetwork Release Notes.

Installing the Windows Ethernet Client Software

Each Windows Ethernet client requires software that allows it to log in to the workgroup, to mount accessible workspaces, and to read and write data to those workspaces in real time. The Windows Ethernet client software is provided on the MediaNetwork CD-ROM and might also be available for network installation from the PortServer Pro system or the LANserver.

Installing Ethernet Client Software from the CD-ROM

To install the Windows Ethernet client software from the

MediaNetwork CD-ROM:

1. Insert the MediaNetwork CD-ROM in the Windows Ethernet client

CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM is set to start automatically and open the Avid Unity Installation window. This takes approximately

1 minute.

If the CD-ROM does not start automatically, start the installation manually as follows: a. Double-click the My Computer icon on the desktop.

The My Computer window opens.

b. Right-click the CD-ROM icon, and select AutoPlay.

The Avid Unity Installation window opens.

Mounting Workspaces on the Windows Ethernet

Client

The MediaNetwork Windows Ethernet client kit contains a MediaNetwork

Windows Ethernet Client Quick Start Card. This card describes how to mount and use workspaces on the client.

n

If the Connection Manager option “Automatically remount these workspaces the next time I log in” is selected, the Windows XP client might not mount the workspaces automatically if the client is set to present the

Windows XP Welcome screen. Use the Connection Manager to mount the workspaces manually or deselect the “Use the Welcome screen” option in the “Change the way users log on or off” section of the User Accounts control panel.

27

Chapter 2 Configuring the Windows Ethernet Client

Additional Client Procedures

Avid recommends that you do the following:

• Mount a workspace on the client (see the MediaNetwork Windows

Ethernet Client Quick Start Card).

• Perform a throughput test on the client using the Avid Performance

Meter utility. This utility checks that the client connection is properly established and that the workgroup is functioning correctly. For more information about using the Avid Performance Meter utility, see

Appendix A

.

Reconfiguring the Client Connection

You configure the IP address for the PortServer Pro system or the

LANserver to which a client is connected when you install the Windows

Ethernet client software. Normally, you do not need to change this address.

(The MediaNetwork Windows Ethernet client software does not currently support connecting a client to any PortServer Pro system or LANserver other than the one to which it is directly connected through the Ethernet switch.) However, you can move the client and connect it directly to another PortServer Pro system or LANserver.

28

Reconfiguring the Client Connection

To reconfigure the IP address of the PortServer Pro system or

LANserver system to which a client is connected:

1. Click the Connection Manager icon in the Windows taskbar, and select

Configure.

The Avid Ethernet Attached Client Configuration dialog box opens.

2. Do one of the following: t Select “Get a list of servers from License Pool Server(s),” and then type the name of the File Manager in the Server List text box that you want to use to automatically locate the Ethernet Attached

Server to which the client is connected.

t Select “Manually specify Ethernet Attached Server(s),” and then type the new IP address of the Ethernet Attached Server to which the client is connected in the Server List text box.

3. Click Add to add the new Ethernet server to the list of available servers.

4. Click OK to close the dialog box and save the change.

29

The Results area provides the following numerical test results:

Item Description

IOs

Average Rate (MB/s)

Displays the current number of I/O operations that have been completed during the test.

Current Rate (MB/s) Displays the calculated throughput or bandwidth (in megabytes per second [MB/s]) for recent I/O operations that have been completed.

Displays the average throughput or bandwidth (in megabytes per second) for the duration of the test.

Errors Displays the number of errors encountered during testing. This is the total of all errors generated for both read and write operations and can include errors related to the following:

• Opening or closing data files

• Validity of the specified file system path

• User access privileges

• Read or write operations

33

Appendix A Avid Performance Meter

Text indicators on the left of the Results area show the file access protocol used and the operation performed in the current phase of testing.

The File Access Protocol indicator shows one of the following:

Item

Win32 File

API

AECIFS

Description

Indicates the Win32 file access API is being used. This indicator is displayed for local disks, MediaNetwork storage that has been mounted, and network file shares.

Indicates the performance monitor has detected that AECIFS is present and that the storage specified by the Path to Test setting is supported by AECIFS.

The I/O operation indicator shows one of the following:

Item

(Reading)

(Writing)

Description

The current mode of testing is Read operations.

The current mode of testing is Write operations.

Test Results Graph

The Test Results graph plots results measured over time. It is particularly useful when you want to observe trends or patterns in performance.

For example, if another process is running that creates a periodic high demand on the storage subsystem being tested, you might see this as a periodic drop in observed throughput in the Test Results graph.

34

Setting Up Your Test

The Test Results graph shows the following:

Item Description

Average Read or

Average Write

The average throughput or bandwidth (in megabytes per second), plotted over time.

Recent Read or

Recent Write

The calculated throughput or bandwidth (in megabytes per second) for recent I/O operations, plotted over time.

Peak Read or

Peak Write MS

The peak latency for individual I/O operations (either reads or writes) that have been completed over a short period of time.

A high measurement indicates a longer period of time was needed for the operation to complete.

Because only the highest (peak) measurement over a short period of time is displayed, a single high peak could be accompanied by many low-latency operations that do not appear in the graph.

Setting Up Your Test

The Settings area of the Avid Performance Meter window displays the currently specified test parameters. Before running the test, you must mount at least one MediaNetwork workspace.

35

2. Adjust the custom test parameters described in the following table, as required:

Parameter Description

File Access

Method

Avid Performance Meter supports more than one interface or protocol for accessing data. This option allows you to control which interface is used. Choose one of the available settings:

Automatically select — Avid Performance Meter selects a protocol automatically for testing the selected path.

Generally, the utility selects AECIFS (if it is supported) or

Win32 File API (if AECIFS is not supported) for the specified path.

Win32 File API — Avid Performance Meter uses the

Win32 File API for its data file access, even if AECIFS is supported.

AECIFS — Avid Performance Meter uses the AECIFS interface for its data file access. If AECIFS is not supported, the utility does not automatically perform file

I/O using the Win32 File API. Instead, the test shows one or more errors in the Errors portion of the Results area.

Reads vs Writes Avid Performance Meter supports testing that focuses on

Reads or Writes, or that alternates between Reads and Writes.

Select a testing mode:

Writes Only — The utility writes test data files and measures the throughput obtained during Write operations.

Reads Only — The utility reads test data files and measures the throughput obtained during Read operations.

n

One or more test data files are written as sample data for testing; however, the Writes required to set up the test are not included in the throughput measurements.

Reads and Writes — The utility alternates between Read and Write tests. Approximately half of the test duration is allocated to reading, and the other half is allocated to writing.

39

Appendix A Avid Performance Meter

Parameter Description

Transfer Size

(KB)

Transfer Rate

(KB/S)

Max File Size

(MB)

This option controls the amount of data the test utility attempts to read or write during a single I/O.

The utility can attempt to perform I/O at a variety of fixed transfer rates. This is useful for simulating the behavior of applications that have a known data rate.

A special unlimited transfer rate setting is also available.

When you select the unlimited transfer rate, Avid Performance

Meter performs I/O operations as fast as possible while being affected by all aspects of the total system being exercised.

This option controls the maximum size of test data files created for Reads or Writes. This option might affect throughput measurements. For example, at any given data rate, a smaller file is opened and closed more often than a larger file, creating more overhead.

Use named common file for

Reads

This option changes the way that the Path to Test parameter is used, and the option is intended for advanced users only. When you select this option, the Path to Test parameter must specify a full path, including a file name. The test utility uses the named file for its Read tests.

The utility creates the file if it does not exist and deletes it at the end of testing. For this reason, the named file should not already exist unless you want it to be deleted when the test is completed. With this option selected, you can run Avid

Performance Meter on multiple clients simultaneously and supply the same file name.

This allows Avid Performance Meter applications running on multiple clients to read a common file. (The file is created as needed, and the last Avid Performance Meter application to stop deletes the file.) n

To view the selection of standard tests, click Standard Tests in the Avid

Performance Meter Settings dialog box.

40

Starting and Stopping the Test

Starting and Stopping the Test

You start and stop the currently configured test using the Start and Stop buttons.

To start the currently configured test: t Click Start in the Avid Performance Meter main window.

The test runs for the specified duration and then stops automatically.

The elapsed time a test has been running and the remaining time are displayed in the Control area. If you selected the Loop option in the

Avid Performance Meter Settings dialog box, the test runs indefinitely.

In this case, the word LOOP appears in the Time Remaining display in the main window.

To stop the currently running test: t Click Stop in the Avid Performance Meter main window.

Interpreting the Test Results

This section provides information to help you interpret test results displayed in the Avid Performance Meter main window.

Average Rate Calculation

The average data rate is calculated over the duration of the test. This calculation includes the time the utility requires to open and to close the test files, so the test file size (which you can configure for custom tests) can affect the overall measured throughput.

Also, if the throughput is slow as the test is starting, this might be reflected in the average rate. For example, if the target bandwidth is 4.0 MB/s, the actual average rate calculated at the conclusion of the test might be 3.98 or

3.99 MB/s.

41

Appendix A Avid Performance Meter

Performance Graph

The graph of results over time can help experienced users obtain information about system performance.

The following are a few items to look for:

Trends — Does the system perform at a consistent rate over time? Is there an upward or downward trend in performance measured over time? If you notice a trend, it might be helpful to perform testing over a longer period of time to determine if the trend continues over longer durations or if a recurring pattern emerges.

Patterns — Is there a momentary drop in performance that occurs at consistent or varied intervals? Patterns can emerge as a result of implementation details and the configuration of a particular system

(for example, caching strategies or physical memory), or they might indicate a load on a system that is occurring periodically.

Changes in performance as load varies — What occurs when a subsystem is placed under a load by other users (or Avid Performance

Meter is running on another client)? It might be easier to observe these interactions by inspecting the plot of performance results over time.

Measurement Strategy

Throughput measurements are plotted periodically (every n seconds) and represent a snapshot of performance at the time of the plot. This is done to limit the amount of data that is plotted, which otherwise could include a very large number of data points. As a result, the performance graph could miss a momentary drop or increase or a peak in performance that occurs between plot points. The average rate calculation reflects the impact of such a dip or spike, even if the actual size of a momentary variation does not appear in the graph.
