Re: [Avid-L2] Can't mount Nexis workspaces but can see them? Solved

 


1. You do not need to have matching Nexis/ISIS client manager. In fact, Avid recommends you use the latest supported version for each OS version.
2. A good connection should get you around 90-100 MB/s. This is true of CAT5E or CAT6. That is good enough for 3, maybe 4, streams of DNxHD 145.
3. The client app installer includes an application called "Path Diag". You can try running it and see how good the connection speed is.  Or you can just copy a large file back and forth. Use Activity Monitor or Task Manager or the ISIS/Nexis Web GUI to view.

My AE says when he runs his station with only one ethernet port he gets sluggish and stuttery playback.  My main ethernet line is Cat6A and the patchbay and and bay line from the wall are Cat 6.  I think the AE bay is Cat 6 or maybe 5E.  I don't know if that explains the difference in performance but I am quite impressed how good my bay seems to work with the Nexis.

Is it possible the older client software the AE is running 6.0.1.23690 is contributing to his performance issues?  He's on OS 10.9.5.  I'm still not clear as to why our tech said we should all run the same version of client software.  Could that be a bigger concern in the past history of Nexis.  I would be our Nexis mainframe is running older software too but so far I'm happy.  Thanks for all the help everyone.

One curiosity was when I installed the older Nexis Client it required a restart, that seems logical, and it required a restart after uninstalling it.  But when I installed the 7.9.0.9 Nexis Client it didn't prompt for a restart after running the installer.  I restarted any way just out of caution.  Is there something in the new Mac OS's or Nexis Client software that no longer requires a restart after instillation?

Re: [Avid-L2] Can't mount Nexis workspaces but can see them?

 

Thanks for the suggestion.  Are we mis informed that all the clients should be on the same version.  It seems logical that different Mac OS would need a different version.  I'll give it a try.  I wonder what element of the OS would let me see the drives with the nexis client but not mount them?  The voodoo of the ones and zeros.

That version is likely too old for your OS version. Use the latest client version.

It is Nexis Client 6.0.1.23690 which is the same one running in the AE bay.  We are under the impression the versions should match but I don't know if that is valid info given my bay is mac os 10.12.6 and the ae bay is mac os 10.9.5.

based on the error message you're getting, sounds like the wrong Nexis Client Manager to  me.
What version have you installed?

Subject: [Avid-L2] Can't mount Nexis workspaces but can see them?

 
Today we tried to hook my mid 2010 MacPro upgraded to 12Core 3.33GHz to our Nexis unit they purchased a couple years ago.  Our tech talked me through setting up the manual ip address on the second ethernet port of the MacPro.  If you face the back panel it is on the right.  The first ethernet port goes to our network of computers and internet.  Most of the other stations use both ethernet ports but I need access to the computer network on a hardwire.  We are able to talk to the main frame and after launching the client software I can see all the workspaces.

I realize my performance will be compromised by having a single connection but I won't be using it much.  The unit is connected through Cat 6A cable but I'm not sure if the patchbay jumpers are Cat 5 or Cat 6.  Could that be causing the error?  I found a couple of jumpers that are Cat 6 and put them in and still get the same error when trying to mountr a workspace.  The AE station is on Mac OS 10.9.5 and I installed the same version of client software on my computer which is Mac OS 10.12.6 because our tech said all the versions should match.  Could the internal ethernet of the macpro be insufficient.  The other computers are using dual ethernet from the internal ethernet ports. 

The only other thing I can think of is perhaps the ethernet switch is zoned in a particular way that would require a dual ethernet connection.  Is that even possible?  The switch is a Cisco Catalyst 984E if I'm reading the small print correctly.

Here is the error log after trying to mount two workspaces one at a time:

Mounting workspace 1/1 with error: Unable to complete operation. Rejected.
