Binding the Storage Managers
After you have created an Active File System you need to bind the Storage Managers using the
Management Console. If you have more than one Engine in your ISIS 7500 | 7000 configuration,
they appear listed in the Storage Manager page. One or multiple Storage Managers can be bound.

This procedure assumes you are creating an Active File System on a new unused Engine. If you
attempt to create a File System on an Engine that has been used before, your Storage Managers
might enter an Orphaned state. To remove an Orphaned state, search the Avid ISIS
Administration Guide for instructions on “Removing Orphaned Storage Managers.”
