4. Copy the
PartitionDump.bin
file into a temporary directory on the new System Director
that is to become the new Active System Director.
The Avid System Director software prevents you from creating a shared folder on the
System Directors. The following are a couple suggested ways of moving the
PartitionDump.bin file.
-
Use a USB flash drive that has the capacity to move the
PartitionDump.bin
file.
-
Create a network share on a client system on the network and copy the
PartitionDump.bin
file to that shared folder. From the new System Director copy the
PartitionDump.bin
file into the temporary folder.
On the new server that is to become the active System Director:
1. Verify that you have the current copy of the PartitionDump.bin file from the old Active
System Director.
2. Start the Avid ISIS and click System Director Control Panel from the Launch Pad or Start >
Programs > Avid > ISIS System Director and select Control Panel.
3. Configure the virtual name and IP address on the new Active System Director to match the
old Active System Director.
Configure the virtual name and IP address using the functions in the Configuration tab of the
ISIS System Director Control Panel.
4. If using the same IP addresses as the old System Director, make sure to shut down the old
System Director first to prevent an IP conflict.
n
It is acceptable to change the IP address scheme of the new System Director. It is not
recommended that you change the virtual ISIS name.
5. Click Stop System Director.
The Configure File System button becomes active.
6. Click Configure File System.
The File System Configuration dialog box opens.
