What is media management software?

Hi all,
I am new to RMAN and I am a bit confuse about media management software that is required to backup to tape. What is it exactly? Is it a backup software like Veritas Backup Exec? Does Oracle provide the media management software on Oracle 9i? Is the integrated backup apps in w2k system tools can be used with RMAN to backup to tape? I am planning to buy HP surestore 8i.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,
From my own personal experience, I suggest you also look at Bakbone's NetVault software: good quality, easy to use. (http://www.bakbone.com/products/downloads.asp) But, yes, media management software is 3rd party software to control tape libraries such as your HP Surestor 8i.
Rgds,
Mark

  • Vcast Media Manager Software

    Im running windows 7 (64 bit) Vcast Media Manager Software will only run on 32 bit OS, does anyone have any solutions  so that it will run on 64 bit OS? Appreciate any help on this matter. thanks:

    64bit computing has been standard for almost 1/2 a year now.  I am not talking about high end machines either. Even cheap, low end machines have come standard with 64bit versions of Windows 7 (under $400).  
    Please Verizon, get a 64bit version out ASAP.  
    46 percent of all computers running Windows 7 are using the 64-bit edition
    Until then, everyone who is running x64 machines use dazzboard (beta) or DoubleTwist.
    From a buisness standpoint, I see the lack of x64 support as being a loss in potential revenue that could have been gained from customers purchasing media driectly from the V CAST Media Manager.

  • Question:   What about Media Manager?

    Is there any equivalent to Media Manager in FCPX?   What we had wasn't perfect, but was incredibly useful.

    So in other words, No.  There's no way to trim unused media while copyng, no way to recompress the media copied to a different codec during the xfer, no way to add handles to media copies - none of the good functionality available in FCP 7.   Media management is completely essential to any editing app, and FCPX doesn't have any.

  • Whats the storage management software for CSM200

    We have two node sun cluster using CSM200 storage and running out of space in shared filesystem. So we need to increase the space and there is no free space in metaset.
    In this case, planning to add disk in storage. We are unable to find the management software at OS level Solaris 10.
    Anyone please help me how can I find the free slot in storage?????

    Hi.
    CSM200 - is expansion for array 6140/6180/etc.
    But format report SUN-CSM200 for array *Sun StorageTek[tm] 6140 Array*
    You can have one array + expansion or 2 undepended array.
    For manage this array use software Common Array Manager ( CAM ).
    Docs for array and CAM: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19381-01/index.html
    This software can was installed on any system on your network. Possible ever on nodes of the cluster.

  • Media manager and EXIF rotation data

    My parents have FiOS and I recently helped them setup the Media Manager software so that they can view their pictures on the TV.  It works great, except for images that have been taken with the camera rotated.  Most other applications (Picasa, Canon ZoomBrowser, etc) are able to read the EXIF and rotate the image accordingly.  What is Verizon's timeframe for implementing this fairly basic feature into Media Manager?  If it is there, I apologize, and please let me know where it is - I was unable to find it.

    When you say rotate the photos using media manager, I assume you mean the PC component?  I suppose I could do that,  but that's really annoying (like you said).  Also, the problem is that then I believe that wouldn't they show up rotated wrongly in all of the other software (zoombrowser, picasa, etc) that does support the exif data for 'this side up' ?
    When you say you don't use it anymore, have you found another solution that can export photos to the Home Media DVR?  That's what my parents really want - the actual PC software, they'd prefer to use Picasa etc as that's what they're already used to.

  • I can't use my media manager

    I've tried installing the verizon media manager (vmm) software on my pc several times. I attempted to contact verizon about my issues, but they seemed not to know what the media manager feature was let alone have and solutions on how to fix it. I have also changed different configurations on my computer to see if there were any conflicts i.e. turning off firewall settings and UAC, and deleting real player and quicktime. I'm just getting irritated and I don't know what to do.
    The message I get while installing VMM is the media manager installation was interupted before it completed.
    I'm wondering if any one knows the solution?
    Thank you

    Sorry that I cannot help you, but I just installed it two days ago on my Vista pc.  I did not have any problems.  Try right clicking on the file and select "Run as Administrator".

  • No edit option in Media Manager for 8100??

    I haven't really received any response from the Software thread so I thought I'd try my luck here to see if anybody else has had a similar problem after installing all the software for the 8100.
    Ok, so a quick overview of what I have installed:
    O/S: Windows Vista Ultimate
    BB Desktop Manager v4.5
    Be sure to keep in mind that I have tried the Desktop manager v4.2, 4.3, and 4.4 and have the same problem with all versions.
    The Issue:
    I can't edit any audio files in the Media Manager software. Everything appears to install properly with no issues, especially after I disabled, Windows Defender, and the Firewall. The media manager software is able to find all of my media files on my computer, and is able to play/view them all as well. However, when I try to edit an audio file that I want to make into a ringtone, the "Edit" option is greyed out and I am unable to select it. This is the case with the v4.5. In previous versions where the user is supposed to select "Edit with QuickSound Editor," that option does not even appear in any of the drop down menus.
    I have completely uninstalled any previous versions and even selected the install to "Run as admin..." in Vista, but I am still not able to select the "Edit" option to create ringtones.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been picking at my brain for the last few days.

    Its just my opinion, but Roxio Media Manager blows chunks. I use Audacity instead, and it free.

  • Vtserver.exe cpu usage at close to 100% when using Media Manager

    On an Intel P4 PC running 32-bit Windows XP (sp-3), 2 GB of RAM and 500 GB hard disk, hardwired 100 Mbs connection:
    When attempting to stream video from the MM PC to the DVR, the video is choppy.  Upon examination of the processes running on the MM PC, VTServer.EXE is running at about 90-100% when streaming video.  There is plenty of available memory.
    Media Manager software has been uninstalled and reinstalled.
    MM video component check has been run.
    New MM version check run - no new version.
    No SW firewall software/hardware in place.
    Virus Scan disabled.
    DVR has been rebooted.
    Router has been rebooted.
    Videos play without problem on the PC either via Windows Media Player or via the Media Manager player.  The problem is when they are streamed to the DVR (choppy video/audio)
    When playing videos, choppy video and audio is observed.
    Does anyone have an idea what the problem is?

  • Media Manager not installing for latest Apple Mac version

    Verizon Media Manager is not installing correctly on my macbook.
    My apple OS version is 10.6.2.   The requirements for Verizon Media Manager is OS 1O.4 - 10.5.7. http://www36.verizon.com/fiostv/web/UnProtected/Me​diaManager.aspx
    Help.  How can we get Verizon to update their media manager software to support the latest OS version?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    shocklizzard,
    I'm sorry that there was previously no support for Snow Leopard.  However, the latest version of MM for Mac (v1.1) includes support for that OS.
    Make sure you uninstall the previous version (if you haven't already) first.
    Keep us posted with your progress!!!

  • Media Manager Grayed out in Desktop manager 4.7

    Hi,
    I have downloaded Desktop manager 4.7 with media manager and tried using it still i am getting inactiveed media manager.
    please help

    Just to make sure, did you all download the Desktop Manager that came with media manager?
    Try going through the installation again but this time instead of choose the "Typical"  option choose the "Custom" one. When you get to the screen with the dropdown arrows in the middle make sure the Media Manager doesn't have an X next to it. Choose the option to run it from the computer.
    Also if you're downloading the desktop software instead of double clicking on the EXE file, right click it and choose to "Extract To" to extract all the files to a folder. After this go into the folder the you extracted the files to and look for a folder called "SR_MM" and run the "Setup.exe" file - It will take approximately 15 minutes to install the media manager software.

  • Vcast Media Manager program is faulty

    Downloaded Vcast. Installs correctly. When attempt to launch I receive a "verizon.exe has stopped working and will be closed" message. Problem is apparently with the Data Execution Protection (DEP) settings. Even when try to exempt the program from DEP, get a message that the program cannot run without DEP. This is a problem with the software, not with the operating systems.
    Vista Home Premium 32-bit
    Droid X

    If you have a Droid phone, you are not required to transfer media over to the phone using Vcast Media Manager.  You can simply plug in your phone, put the phone into USB Mass Storage mode in the notification panel after you plug it in, and it will work just like any USB thumb drive or other mass storage device.  This is how I personally transfer over Videos, Pictures, and Music to my Droid 2, Droid X, Thunderbolt, and Fascinate.  This works pretty much flawlessly as long as the content is not protected.  
    For those of you having issues installing the Vcast Media Manager software on the computer, if it was a software issue, everyone would have it.  There are so many variables when it comes to PCs that it becomes impossible for a cellular phone company to help with software installation on a PC.  We are not certified computer techs here at Verizon, which is why we keep computer troubleshooting light.  There are some basic requirements for the Vcast Media Manager to work though, please ensure your PC meets all of these requirements before diving too deep into troubleshooting Vcast Media Manager installation issues.  
    Media Manager Requirements
    I hope this answers some of your concerns with the Media Manager software.
