If you don’t rebuild the RAID array or if you don’t clear clips, the XT will keep

running on 4 disks only, and you will see a warning message appearing every time

you start or close the Multicam application. Normal operation can be achieved on

4 disks, but then, if another disk fails, the system will hang and all video and

audio data will be definitely lost.

Important:

By default, the online rebuild process takes up 10% of the disk

bandwidth. If you want to change this, contact EVS support.

RETRIEVING SCSI LOGS

If you suspect that the drive disconnection in operation was not due to a severe

disk failure, but perhaps to the server being too prompt to disconnect a drive, you

must run a hardware check immediately after ending the session during which the

disk was disconnected.

Don’t rebuild the RAID, but press simultaneously the ALT-L keys to generate the

log file C:\LSMCE\DATA\LOG\SCSI.LOG, and send this file to EVS for detailed

analysis. Note that this procedure is only valid if the drive is disconnected during

operation, not for a drive being disconnected when booting the system.

1.4.13 CLIP COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN MULTICAM VERSIONS

Important:

The clips created in version 8.4 or lower are not compatible with Multicam

v.9. For this reason, you should proceed as follows before you using the

Multicam version 9.

1. Back up all the clips stored on the XT Server with XFile.

2. Just after migrating from version 8.04 to the version 9.0., perform a Clear

Video Disks operation.

This is available from the Maintenance menu (F9), with the Clear Video Disks

option. For more information on the Clear Clip operation, refer to section 1.4.4

‘Clear Video Disks’, on page 35.

Lat

er on, you can then convert and restore any clip that has been backed up with

XFile.
