• If more than 2 disks are faulty at start up, the system displays the message:
“MORE THAN 2 CONTROLLERS IN ERROR. SYSTEM CANNOT
WORK PROPERLY”.
In that case, the faulty disks must be replaced. Data rebuild is not possible.
• If a major error occurred on the board or the board is not correctly plugged or
simply missing, the system displays the message:
“!!! ERROR: TIMED OUT -> SCSI BOARD #0 PROBABLY NOT
PRESENT”.
In that case, check the board installation. If the error persists, install a new
board or contact EVS support.
2.3 READING THE CONFIGURATION FILE
After the disk initialization sequence, the system reads the configuration file
stored on the disk. This file contains the parameters which guarantee the
coherence of main parameters of the system from session to session. Those
parameters are: diskBlockSize
and operationalDiskSize.
The message "Reading configuration file … please wait" is displayed during
process.
If the Configuration File is Found on Disks
The parameters are displayed:
Configuration of user on disks
block size xxx kBytes yyy kBytes
nbr of blocks aaa bbb
This table shows the parameters stored on the system ('on disks' column) and the
ones from the EVS advanced parameters ('of user' column).
The values from both columns must be identical to use properly the system. If not,
the system displays a warning message:
"A parameter incoherence has been detected" "Would you like
to format the system".
Answer ‘Yes' to format the A/V data saved on disks.
Answer 'No' to go back to EVS main menu.
Important:
If you answer ‘Yes’ and decide to format the system, all clips will be
cleared. This operation is instantaneous.
