X-SAN Media Network Advice

I am researching into the implementation of a video / audio network using X-SAN as a system to manage multiple workstations and a pool storage array.
Could I ask your advice about what I think I require in order ensuring I get the right network setup to suit my needs.
The network (in concept) is only small, it involves 2 workstations, one dedicated for video the other for audio. Using X-SAN a Raid server would provide the files to both workstations (which may use the same media).
In terms of setup I would prefer to sue Workstation 1 as the video ingest and editing station, and the same for Workstation 2 (except for audio ingest and editing). Possibly another computer as a meta data controller, maybe a G4, my only concern is would a G4 be powerful enough to handle the meta data?
It would be great to distribute processing of both Compressor and Logic to the server along side sharing media, although I am not sure if this is possible or what have detrimental effects on a workflow.
Eventually we may look to expand to 4 Workstations, we were thinking of using Fibre Channel opposed to Ethernet, but again due to cost would this be a worthy upgrade?
For the setup I have described would you be able to offer some opinions / advice, all help is more than welcome.
Kind regards, Jim.

When you are getting started it can be pretty expensive. Depending on how much space you need and how many computers you are hooking up to it. We started out with 3 machines (don't forget the meta-data controller MDC). Apple recommends both cables hooked up to the dual fibre card. That is already 6 ports on the fibre switch. For each workstation it will be about $1500. That's $1000 for Xsan Software and $500 for the fibre cards and another $20-$30 for the gigabit ethernet card. Depending on what fibre switch you get, you could be paying anywhere from $3000 on up. Make sure to get one that is expandable or connects to other switches. The apple store has some on their website. Just search for fibre
Here is the rough layout
http://www.apple.com/xsan/videoworkflow.html
Apple recommends I believe a dual proc G5 at least for the MDC. We have a cluster node acting as the MDC and a workstation as the backup meta.
What's cool about it is the startup costs were a little big but now adding to the storage is a piece of cake. We just added another Xserve raid and was able to implement it into production really really easy. All it really took was adding the two cables to the existing switch and raiding the drives.
Hope this helps. The apple store is a good place to start when finding prices. These will be pretty much the prices you see everywhere else.
Good luck. Let me know if you need any more info,
Thomas

  • Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive network access problem

    Hello all                          Having trouble accessing Iomega media drive ce,web interface is not responding.Iam able to ping ,map and access shares using win7 and winxp systems.Read and writie to shares.Earlier in 2012-13 experienced similar problem,but reimaging using reimager software, fixed the problem.Reimaging didnt destroy data it just reset the user accounts.(atleast in my case).Few days back the problem reoccured.I noticed from my experience, the web interface becomes unresponsive only after enabling cloud with medium or high security.I tried resetting. Also tried to connect drive to pc directly and ran ARP utility.Drive respond to ping(arp provided ip address).,but web interface is still  unresponsive.Also cloud invitation email not working.But device status monitor or reporitng  email works.

    Hello dhanse_k,
    For something like this, there really isn't much that I can help with here.
    I'm limited to giving advice and that isn't going to help if you have a verified IP that's not granting access to the UI.
    I recommend starting a support ticket here:
    https://lenovo-ap-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/18133/session/L3RpbWUvMTM2NjU5MDgxMS9zaWQvSEtSbjZqb2w%3D#phone
    It sounds like your NAS is having issues with Apache and starting a support ticket will enable an agent to assist you with that.

  • I have upgraded to Lion Os but my Network storage (Iomega Home Media Network hard drive) does not work with Time Machine.  Are there any solution available?

    I have upgraded to Lion  OS only to find that my NAS (Iomega Home Media Network hard drive) does not work.  It tells me that it is not configured.  Are there any solutions .  Have Iomega sorted out the problem?

    Same issue here.  Based on what I can tell, iomega still has not developed a solution to the problem.  See below:

  • Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive contents not appearing in iTunes

    I'm running iTunes 10.5.1 on my MacBook which is running OS X 10.6.8
    I've got an iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive ( http://tinyurl.com/l8jmaa ) NAS hooked up to my home intranet, and I use it as the master repository for all my music for iTunes, as I've got multiple computers in the house, and the device (with iTunes and DLNA activated) will show up in the "Shared" section of my iTunes source list, and I can view and play all my music from there.
    Sometime over the course of the last few iTunes updates, however, this functionality broke, and I'm not sure why.  The device shows up in the "Shared" section still, but when I click on it, iTunes shows a message on its screen that says "Loading "Iomega-0557fc" (yeah yeah, I didn't give my drive a spiffy name, I just stuck with the stock out-of-the-box name) and gives me the horixzontal cady-cane, and the little circle spinner spins away to the right of the device in the source list, but iTunes never actually completes the task of bringing up an index of the drive.
    The drive itself is fully functional.  All the settings are proper on it, I can move data on and off from the Finder, I can even drag-and-drop music files from the NAS in the Finder into iTunes and the files will add to playlists and play just fine (I've got "Copy files to iTunes Media Folder..." turned off, so I know they're playing from the NAS) so it's not like there's some kind of malfuction on the NAS itself.  I've also made sure I've got the latest firmware updates and such.
    I'm sure I'm not the only one with one of these drives, and I'm hoping someone else has encountered this issue and figured it out!  Any help is appreciated!

    Hi , I have similar problem..It was working initially and for some reason it stopped. I device shows up on the SHARED , however when I click it doesnt load the songs..however I am able to stream songs from Iomega NAS via other DLNA clients (ace player etc in ipad)...

  • Query: Best practice SAN switch (network) access control rules?

    Dear SAN experts,
    Are there generic SAN (MDS) switch access control rules that should always be applied within the SAN environment?
    I have a specific interest in network-based access control rules/CLI-commands with respect to traffic flowing through the switch rather than switch management traffic (controls for traffic flowing to the switch).
    Presumably one would want to provide SAN switch demarcation between initiators and targets using VSAN, Zoning (and LUN Zoning for fine grained access control and defense in depth with storage device LUN masking), IP ACL, Read-Only Zone (or LUN).
    In a LAN environment controlled by a (gateway) firewall, there are (best practice) generic firewall access control rules that should be instantiated regardless of enterprise network IP range, TCP services, topology etc.
    For example, the blocking of malformed TCP flags or the blocking of inbound and outbound IP ranges outlined in RFC 3330 (and RFC 1918).
    These firewall access control rules can be deployed regardless of the IP range or TCP service traffic used within the enterprise. Of course there are firewall access control rules that should also be implemented as best practice that require specific IP addresses and ports that suit the network in which they are deployed. For example, rate limiting as a DoS preventative, may require knowledge of server IP and port number of the hosted service that is being DoS protected.
    So my question is, are there generic best practice SAN switch (network) access control rules that should also be instantiated?
    regards,
    Will.

    Hi William,
    That's a pretty wide net you're casting there, but i'll do my best to give you some insight in the matter.
    Speaking pure fibre channel, your only real way of controlling which nodes can access which other nodes is Zones.
    for zones there are a few best practices:
    * Default Zone: Don't use it. unless you're running Ficon.
    * Single Initiator zones: One host, many storage targets. Don't put 2 initiators in one zone or they'll try logging into each other which at best will give you a performance hit, at worst will bring down your systems.
    * Don't mix zoning types:  You can zone on wwn, on port, and Cisco NX-OS will give you a plethora of other options, like on device alias or LUN Zoning. Don't use different types of these in one zone.
    * Device alias zoning is definately recommended with Enhanced Zoning and Enhanced DA enabled, since it will make replacing hba's a heck of a lot less painful in your fabric.
    * LUN zoning is being deprecated, so avoid. You can achieve the same effect on any modern array by doing lun masking.
    * Read-Only exists, but again any modern array should be able to make a lun read-only.
    * QoS on Zoning: Isn't really an ACL method, more of a congestion control.
    VSANs are a way to separate your physical fabric into several logical fabrics.  There's one huge distinction here with VLANs, that is that as a rule of thumb, you should put things that you want to talk to each other in the same VSANs. There's no such concept as a broadcast domain the way it exists in Ethernet in FC, so VSANs don't serve as isolation for that. Routing on Fibre Channel (IVR or Inter-VSAN Routing) is possible, but quickly becomes a pain if you use it a lot/structurally. Keep IVR for exceptions, use VSANs for logical units of hosts and storage that belong to each other.  A good example would be to put each of 2 remote datacenters in their own VSAN, create a third VSAN for the ports on the array that provide replication between DC and use IVR to make management hosts have inband access to all arrays.
    When using IVR, maintain a manual and minimal topology. IVR tends to become very complex very fast and auto topology isn't helping this.
    Traditional IP acls (permit this proto to that dest on such a port and deny other combinations) are very rare on management interfaces, since they're usually connected to already separated segments. Same goes for Fibre Channel over IP links (that connect to ethernet interfaces in your storage switch).
    They are quite logical to use  and work just the same on an MDS as on a traditional Ethernetswitch when you want to use IP over FC (not to be confused with FC over IP). But then you'll logically use your switch as an L2/L3 device.
    I'm personally not an IP guy, but here's a quite good guide to setting up IP services in a FC fabric:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/switches/datacenter/mds9000/sw/4_1/configuration/guides/cli_4_1/ipsvc.html
    To protect your san from devices that are 'slow-draining' and can cause congestion, I highly recommend enabling slow-drain policy monitors, as described in this document:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/switches/datacenter/mds9000/sw/5_0/configuration/guides/int/nxos/intf.html#wp1743661
    That's a very brief summary of the most important access-control-related Best Practices that come to mind.  If any of this isn't clear to you or you require more detail, let me know. HTH!

  • "Home Media Network Hard Drive - Cloud Edition": what is it?

    I have a "Home Media Network Hard Drive - Cloud Edition".
    I want to update the firmware (actually, I already did, but may have made a mistake).
    When I go to the support page https://lenovo-na-en.custhelp.com/app/subproduct/p/1031 I find that there are two choices that have names similar to my unit's, but not identical.
    Is one of these actually the same as my model?  If so, which?  If not, how do I get support for my model?  Why isn't this clear?
    PS: These names are awkward, long, and confusing.  So long that I could not put all of them in the Subject.  Too late to change them now.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello HughR
    See the below hotlinks for a picture confirmation of each device.
    If the Home Media (Network Hard Drive) Cloud Edition (HMNHDII) is your device, then you would want to follow the firmware update guide from here.
    If you have the Home Media Network Hard drive (HMNHD) then you should follow the firmware update guide from here.
    From your post it seems you have the Home Media CE, the second generation of home media NAS.  The " Home Media Cloud Edition " link would be the correct link to access the support page for the device.
    The names are long, hence the abbreviation from "Home Media Network Hard Drive - Cloud Edition" to just "Home Media Cloud Edition"
    Hope this all helps!

  • Can't access Iomega Home Media Network HD from my MacBook Air

    Hello,
    I recently bought a MacBook Air that is currently running OS X 10.8.4. This is my first MacBook.
    I have an Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive, but I can't connect to it. I downloaded their most recent software for Mac (the LSM client for Mac OS 10.6-10.8, version 1.4.3.9580), but keep getting a message saying "The version of the server you are trying to connect is not supported" when I try to access my files from my Mac.
    I tried to find the answers from Lenovo, who bought the Iomega, but their support seems very poor and I wasn't able to reach anyone about it since my warranty has expired.
    I was wondering if some one could please guide me to find a solution to this problem.
    Thank you so much in advance!

    Preferably, get rid of that junky device. If you don't want to do that, see below.

  • WRT54G2 and Iomega Home Media Network HDD

    So I am on my second HDD with Iomega. I am thinking now that this is a router problem rather than a HDD problem. I have a 1TB Iomega home media network drive, eversince I bought my router and began using it I have been unable to use my HDD. It is hard wired to the router via RJ-45 cable and both units have been reset and powered up in about every order you can imagine. I have reset factory defaults on the router and made security changes to ensure there was nothing blocking that port. I am at wits end. I cannot connect to the HDD and the drive flashes yellow and blue indicating it cannot estabilsh or receive an IP address from the router. Can anone help me with this. The drive has already been replaced once after the same symptoms occurred previously. Any help is appreciated.

    Per the Iomega support site:
    How do I find the Home Media Network Hard Drive on my network?
    Install the Iomega Home Storage Manager software. Once the installation completes, the Iomega Home Storage Manager icon will appear in the system tray (Windows) or Menu Bar (Mac) and your computer will automatically be connected to the Home Media drive's shared folders.
    NOTE: If no DHCP server is found on your network the Home Media Drive will get the self-assigned IP address 169.254.55.82.
    NOTE: The Iomega Home Storage Manager will automatically scan your network and connect to available shared folders. If you receive a message from your operating system's firewall alerting you of network activity, click the unblock button.
    Mac Users: The Iomega Home Media drive's shared folders should mount and appear on the Mac Desktop.
    PC Users: The Iomega Home Media drive's shared folders will automatically be assigned a drive letter and will be available in the Network Drives section under My Computer.
    Also see the User Manual for the drive or the Iomega online support site.
    The network drive has a menu system to allow the user to configure the network settings for the drive.  Log into the drive per the User Manual directions and check the Network settings to ensure the Automatic (DHCP) is enabled. When this option is enabled it should pull an IP address from the router.
    One other option is to configure the IP setting to Manual in the Network page on the network drive and input an IP address (Static IP Address) outside of the IP addresses the router will hand out via its DHCP server. You would also have to fill out any additional settings for the Manual option. So for example if the router is configured for IP address of 192,16.1.1, and a starting DHCP IP address of xxx.xxx.xxx.100 and a Maximum Number of DHCP Users of 50 than set the network drive's IP address to 192.168.1.200, or any ending IP number between 151 and 254, or between 2 and 99. That way it won't conflict with the router's DHCP address assignments and it will always have the same IP address.

  • Iomega Home media network drive & Time machine backups

    First timer guys, so go easy. :-)
    I have macbook pro. Upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion couple of days ago. I have Iomega Home media network drive NAS box which I had setup for Leopard and my backups via time machine were working perfectly. I could also mount the shares on the Iomega box on my macbook. Post upgrade to Lion, I can access the shares on my MAC (over smb) but backups not working anymore. Apparently Lion requires shares to be accessible over afp only. I have confirmed Iomega box is compatible with smb as well as afp shares and I even tried manually mounting those shares using command, still no luck.
    Command I'm trying to mount afp shares & the error -
    bash-3.2# mkdir -p /mnt/backups
    bash-3.2# mount_afp afp://username:[email protected]/backups /mnt/backups
    mount_afp: AFPMountURL returned error -5019, errno is -5019
    bash-3.2# echo $?
    101
    bash-3.2#
    Can't see any references to this error. I see few links that ask to carry out some clumsy steps to sort this out. That's not working either for me.
    On a sidenote, why mac doesn't have /etc/fstab? Any alternatives?
    Appreciate any kind of help here.
    Cheers.

    so per the information from my other thread i bought an iomega home media network hard drive. i've attached it to the westell ultraline series 3 9100em wireless router i got when i signed up for fios. i installed the software that came with the hard drive but it's not showing up on the network. when i log in to the router management console it shows up as the first device under "network stats". what am i missing that's not letting the drive get recognized on my network? as always thanks in advance for any replies.

    Hello jarmin2411
    A factory reset from the web interface would correct this sort of issue.  However I suspect that using the pin-hole reset button should also be able to clear the issue as it seems to be a network configuration issue.  The network settings may have become corrupt during the update.   Using the device reset button

  • Samsung BD-6500 won't see my Media Network on WRT610N

    My Samsung BD-6500 won't see my Media Network... It wil see and connect to my Main Network. I have a WRT610N.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    1. Update the firmware. You can get it by going to the Samsung Support website. Click on link below to get manuals and firmware upgrades:
    http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/tv-video/blu-ray/blu-ray-players/BD-C6500/XAA/index.idx?pagetype=...
    You can also do this after performing steps 2-5 if they don't work ... if this is a new system ... it’s hard to just go right in and start updating firmware, but it may be necessary if it’s not a current firmware revision.
    2. Next, go to the setup screen on Samsung DVD player and find the Mac address then carefully write it down on a piece of paper. The 10 digit Mac address will look something like this: 1c:c1:0b:9d::c0. Remember to put the colons between each pair of digits.
    3. Bring the Mac address over to your router and access the router.
    4. Once in the router setup, go to wireless settings and find the Mac address filtering setup. Enable the Mac filtering and enter the Mac address of the player into one of the Mac address boxes - select "Permit PC" - save settings. It's important to note - it will either "Permit" or "Prevent" a Mac address - so make sure when you are done and Mac address is saved, it appears as "Permitted".
    5. Go back to the Samsung BD-6500 Player and do a reset. Once done, select the router name in the list and continue setup steps. You should now see the IP Address and other values auto-loaded and a message box that says, "Connected". 
    I don't know the Blueray well enough to walk you through the menu specifically - but I think this should get you going in the right direction.
    Hope this helps,

  • Suggestions consolidating iTunes accounts, home media network

    Hello, I am not exactly sure where to post this, but much may revolve around iTunes store, etc, so I thought I would try here first. Really looking for advice, sorry for the long entry.
    I am in the process of trying to reorganize, simplify and set up a nice home media/storage network for my wife and I (and kids as they get older) the opportunity to basically use and sync any of our devices/computers so that we all have access to a main music library, movies, etc. Here are my main questions, and the scenario ...
    I have my own iMac
    Wife has Mac Air
    Have Apple TV2
    Will each be getting our own iPod Touch
    Airport Extreme currently used for home wifi network
    External drive connected to Airport Extreme to store all/everyone's media?
    My initial thought is this could function well as a media storage hub that all our networked devices could pull from? Or maybe there is a better option, setup that I'm not thinking of?
    Consolidating two individual iTunes Libraries/accounts to one main one?
    What is the best/cleanest approach? My wife and I each have our own, but are find merging if it is recommended. Is it recommended that my wife or I change one of our accounts/ids so we both now purchase off the same apple id? Then just combine our two separate libraries onto an external drive hooked to our Airport Extreme, and use that as a main media collection? Can that external drive then be accessed by the Apple TV as well as our personal computers? Or what if the kids down the road want their own account, if you don't use a single apple id to purchase content, is it difficult to have a central media driver with everyone's content?
    For eventual syncing into iCloud?
    Is it recommended that we put all devices (whether hers, mine, or kids) to the same Apple ID so all devices have access to all the same material? I'll admit I don't know much about iCloud yet, so this might be a basic question. Or maybe there are still ways to sync all devices even if through different ID accounts so the family doesn't feel I'm 'in complete control' ? Is media stored on an external drive for the network able to sync or be used in the same way by the iCloud service?
    I'll probably have more questions, I hope these made sense, and again, sorry for the wordiness. Maybe its a simple setup, but if anyone has the interest or time to lend some advice on what has worked well for them, I'm all ears. Thank you!

  • Newbie Setting up a Wireless Network - Advice Needed

    Before I run out and drop $$$ on stuff that won't work for me, I thought I'd better get some advice.
    Here goes:
    I have an older 1.25 GHz G4 iMac running OS X 10.5.1, no airport card installed yet, a Lacie 500 GB external HD, an Epson R200 printer and a cable modem. I want to create a wireless network that I can hook my XBox into as well. The computer and peripherals all in the same room except the XBox which is two floors below (about 30 to 40 feet away).
    My question is: Should I get the previous generation Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11g or the latest Extreme 802.11n. WHich would work best for me? Which Airport card should I get, and which will my iMac support? How do I hook everything up to produce the fastest possible speed? The XBox wireless adapter is not compatible so far with 802.11n.
    Thanks!

    FG. Kelly, Welcome to the discussion area!
    The computer and peripherals all in the same room except the XBox which is two floors below (about 30 to 40 feet away).
    Going through 2 floors may be tough depending on the building material used.
    Should I get the previous generation Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11g or the latest Extreme 802.11n.
    Apple now only sells the square 802.11b/g/n AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
    Which Airport card should I get, and which will my iMac support?
    The 1.25 GHz iMac G4 is only compatible with the 802.11b/g AirPort Extreme card.
    How do I hook everything up to produce the fastest possible speed?
    Use Ethernet for the fastest speed.

    1. Be sure virus/security/parental control software hasn't trapped parts of Photoshop, Bridge, Premiere, Lightroom, or any Adobe app using DynamicLinkMediaServer. (Make sure the Adobe apps are added as exceptions if needed.)
    2. Ensure you have the latest version of QuickTime
    3. Close all Adobe applications - wait more than 30 seconds, then launch Photoshop and try to open and export the file.
    - If unsuccessful, view Task Manager/Processes to verify necessary processes started up when importing video (dynamiclinkmanager.exe, dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe and Adobe QT32 Server.exe)
    - If unsuccessful, please capture the full error message text.
    4. Close all Adobe apps, wait 30 seconds - launch Bridge and try to open/export the file.
    Thanks,
    Meredith
