Re: [Avid-L2] ISIS 4.7.3 what's new

There are some nasty bugs in ISIS 4.7.0 which are hopefully squashed in this release. We begin testing this today.

New in Avid ISIS v4.7.3
The v4.7.3 release includes the following bug fixes and support.
ISIS v4.7.3 supports:
• ISIS | 7500 & ISIS 7000—All configurations
• ISIS | 2500 & ISIS 2000—All configurations
• ISIS | 5500 & ISIS 5000—Engines connected via 10 GbE, and direct-attached 1 GbE clients
c ISIS v4.7.3 is NOT recommended for ISIS | 5500 & ISIS 5000 connected via 4x1 GbE links to a network
switch.
Fixed in This Release
Client Issues
• Dual-connected clients now use only one socket per subnet to connect to a System Director. This avoids
dual-connected clients being unable to validate workspaces.
• ISIS Client installer now sets the Myricom adapter advanced settings for driver versions higher than 1.1.10.
• 1 Gb Macintosh clients would get "Delayed write failure" during Benchmark Utility test.
• In some cases, Pro Tools clients were unable to write to the ISIS ("media not accessible" error).
• The following warning events are no longer logged on the standby System Director:
- Could not retrieve HistoryDataCollection enable attribute value. Using default value: 1
- Could not retrieve Auto-Rectify enable attribute value. Using default value: 0
• The ISIS kit now includes the current Adobe® Flash Player (version 15.0.0.152) for the Mac OS.
• Windows 10 GbE routed clients (Zone 3 and 4) no longer cause ISIS | 7500 - 7000 ISBs running versions
older than v4.7 to assert.
• Windows 10 GbE routed clients (Zone 3 and 4) continue to operate when one link is down to an ISIS | 7500 -
7000 running 4.7.x versions.
Server Issues
• Avid ISIS Profiler incorrectly failed when run against 1 Gb NICs on the ISIS | 5500 - 5000 Expansion Engine.
• In some circumstances, the external ISIS 4.7 System Director (ISIS | 7500 - 7000, ISIS | 2500 - 2000) could
assert, causing the active System Director to fail over to the standby.
• In some upgrade cases, importing the PartitionDump.bin file would fail.
Zone 3 Support for all Interplay Production Servers
All Interplay Production servers are qualified for use with Zone 3 connections. This supersedes the information in
the 4.7 version of the Avid ISIS Client Guide.
Switch Configuration Files for Dell Networking N3048 Switch
In the v4.7.3 release, Avid renamed the Switch Configuration folder for the Dell Networking switches to
[drive]:\Switch Configuration\ISIS x000\Dell_Force10. In addition, this folder now includes separate sub-folders
for the ISIS | 5500 - 5000 and ISIS | 2500 - 2000 systems, containing configuration files for all the supported Dell
Networking switches, including the N3048. The switch configuration files are the same in each folder.New in Avid ISIS v4.7.2

Documentation Updates and Corrections
The Avid Network and Switch Guide has been updated to include the Dell Networking N3048 switch.
The v4.7 Avid ISIS Client Guide contains incorrect information in Chapter 1, Avid ISIS Client Manager Setup
and Installation, in the section "Dual Port Network Connections," which states, in the second paragraph:
"Dual connected ISIS | 2500 - 2000 and ISIS | 5500 - 5000 clients must be on the same subnet, but ISIS | 7500 -
7000 clients can connect to the same subnet or to both VLANs for redundancy. The dual 1 Gb connections can be
connected to the same ISIS qualified switch. If you have access to both an ISIS | 5500 - 5000 and an ISIS | 7500 -
7000, one port can be connected to each infrastructure. Dual 10 Gb client connections are supported."
These statements are no longer true, and should have been replaced with the following:
"Dual 1 Gb and 10 Gb clients are supported on either the same subnet or different subnets (VLANs) for all ISIS
