You must create a new allocation group for the MEDIArray ZX4
enclosures.
•
You cannot loop unlike enclosures together. For example: you cannot loop
a MEDIArray ZX3 enclosure with a MEDIArray II enclosure.
•
You
can
loop a MEDIArray ZX with a MEDIArray ZX3 since they are
both 2 Gb.
•
You cannot loop a MEDIArray ZX3 and a MEDIArray ZX4 since they are
2 Gb and 4 Gb devices.
•
If you are using a 2-Gb File Manager, the maximum number of disks you
can use in a mixed enclosure configuration remains at 96.
For more configuration information see the setup guide for the specific
enclosure and the
Avid Unity MediaNetwork Management Guide.
