11. To configure another Avid NEXIS Engine, disconnect the computer from the Management Port on the first
Engine and connect it to the Management Port on the next Engine.
The computer is still set to the IP address you configured earlier, which is standard for all Avid NEXIS
Engines you are configuring. You do not need to change the computer’s IP address again.
12. Repeat this procedure until you have configured all the Engines that will be in the Avid NEXIS system.
c
Make sure all the Engines that will belong to the same Avid NEXIS system have the same Storage System
Name.
13. When you have configured all the Engines, disconnect the computer from the Engine. You can optionally
restore the computer’s IP address to what it was originally. (Repeat the steps in “Configuring the Computer’s
IP Address” on page 36, but at step 2d, instead of manually entering an IP address for the computer, click
Obtain an IP address automatically.)
If you want to run the wizard again, open the Agent and click Wizard on the CONFIGURE tab. You can re-run the
Wizard either to confirm your entries, or to make changes before you create the file system and bind Media Packs.
For information on those tasks, see the Avid NEXIS Administration Guide.
Upgrading an Engine
When new releases of the Avid NEXIS software are available, you can upgrade the Avid NEXIS clients and
Engines to take advantage of new features and bug fixes.
As of Avid NEXIS v7.0 and higher, the Management Console allows you to enter custom options to the
installation. Use this field only with guidance from Avid Customer Care.
n
If you are adding an Engine to an existing shared storage system, see “Adding an Engine to Your Infrastructure”
on page 59.
Avid recommends upgrading the Avid NEXIS clients first, then upgrading the Avid NEXIS system. Clients can
run a higher version of the Avid NEXIS software than the systems they are connecting to, according to the
compatibility chart on the Avid NEXIS Documentation Knowledge Base. (For information on upgrading clients,
see the Avid NEXIS Client Manager Installation and User’s Guide.)
