NOTE:
All devices in a Spectrum system should be running the same firmware
version.

then reboot the MediaDirector. Follow instructions in the
Spectrum System Installation Guide
.
Starting the file system
Use this procedure to start an existing File System that has been previously initialized. The procedure
is typically used after performing maintenance on the File System, or when starting a File System in
configurations with more than one MediaDirector.
IMPORTANT:
After replacing a Spectrum server, the File System
Status
field might show
Started
or
Not Started
(depending on the software version). Even if the status shows
Started
, you must stop the File System and then start it again to ensure that the correct
settings take effect.
1. From the
Configuration
tab, click the
Disk Utilities
icon in the lefthand column.
The
Spectrum - Disk Utilities
page displays all video servers on the network and the status of their
File Systems.
2. Click on the name of the Spectrum server with the File System you wish to start.
The
Disk Utilities
page for the Spectrum server appears. There are two columns displayed, the
Physical View
and
Logical View
.
3. At the top of the
Logical View
column, click the link to the File System name.
The
Filesystem Utilities
page displays.
4. If you are replacing a Spectrum server and the file system
Status
shows
Started
, click
Stop FS
.
The button changes to
Start FS
.
5. Click
Start FS
.
CAUTION:
Do not click “Initialize FS”. This will wipe out the entire File System.
The
Start Filesystem
page appears.
6. Ensure that the first option,
Use NVRAM Journaling for this filesystem
, is checked.
NOTE:
In most cases, you should not need to change the options from the default
selections.
7. Click the
Start
button.
The
Filesystem utilities
page appears, where the
Mode
field should indicate
Read/Write
, the
Sharing with other MediaDirectors
field should indicate
On
(if it does not, the MediaDirector needs
to be rebooted), and the
Mountpoint
field should indicate /fs0.
For a MediaDirector in EFS configuration only: the Expansion Ethernet LED on the front panel should
indicate that the EFS is working.
8. From the
Configuration
tab, click the
Disk Utilities
icon and verify that the MediaDirector is shown
as
