Installing the Software and Setting up the Avid NEXIS System
Through the setup wizard, you can configure multiple Engines, both with and without a Avid NEXIS | SDA,
identified by a single Storage System Name. You can also configure a redundant Controller in specific Avid
NEXIS Engines or Avid NEXIS | SDA, effective with Avid NEXIS v6.1 and higher.
See “Supported Configurations” on page 2 for configurations that can share the same name space and see “Types
of Controllers” on page 12 for systems that support redundant controllers.
