Moving Striped Drives to Another System (Macintosh Only)
In order to move striped drives to another system, you need to be able to identify the drives that make up a particular striped set. This was easy on Mac OS 9 because the system allowed you to use the SCSI ID order when striping drives.
On Mac OS X, the system does not use the SCSI ID but instead uses its internal diskn name (where n is the drive number) when creating the striped sets. You can use Avid Storage Manager or ExpressStripe to identify a striped set on Mac OS X.
To use Avid Storage Manager to identify a striped set:
| 1. | |
Start the Avid Storage Manager application and select
Viewá>áVolumes.
|
| 2. | |
Select the striped volume you wish to move and click Identify.
|
The system blinks the lights on the front of the drives that make up the
volume.
To use ExpressStripe to identify a striped set:
| 1. | |
Start the ExpressStripe application.
|
| 2. | |
In the opening dialog boxes, select Utilities and then select
Benchmark.
|
| 3. | |
Select the striped volume you want to move and click Start.
|
The system runs the benchmark test on the volume and shows activity
on the front of the drives that make up the volume.
