Track Transfer Order
The order that content tracks are transferred in is very important. You should transfer the
tracks of a piece of content in the following order: header, ft, info, std. This is important
because the system needs the metadata information stored in the header track for play-out
operations.
n
If the recommended transfer order is not followed, the play-while-transfer function on the
MediaStream Server will not work. The recommended transfer order is also important for
effective error recovery and proper space allocation. The Server will create a dummy header
file when the directory is created; you must write over this file with the real header file.
Adding Disk Sets
Disk sets can be added to an on-air MediaStream Network Storage System. See
MediaStream 8000NS Site Preparation, Install and Reference Manual
for this procedure, or
call Avid Technical Support. Before you begin this procedure, you must shut down the SAN
Gateway. Once you have added disk sets and have confirmed their availability to the FSCs
and the MSS server nodes, restart the gateway. It will now recognize the new disk sets.
System Check and Troubleshooting
While a third-party FTP client is required to perform FTP transfers between gateways, you
can verify that the system is operational with the Windows FTP client by copying a file from
the Video File System to the gateway.
