Accessing the Omneon MediaGrid • Use following list of interfaces (separated by “:”)—select this option if you wish to specify the NICs on your Mac FSD client that will be used to connect to the MediaGrid system. Enter the IP address for each NIC, separated by a colon, in the field provided. About the Connection Settings Options • Read-ahead—the amount of ReadAhead memory used by each open/active file. For most applications, including Final Cut Pro®, a ReadAhead value of 2 is recommended. Refer to Managing Memory Usage by the File System Driver for more information. • Disable CRC check on read—select this option to disable the CRC check and reduce CPU usage. • Use case-insensitive file names—select if you would like to set the file system to be case insensitive. By default, the Macintosh file system is case sensitive. • Disallow remove/rename of open files—when selected, the files open on this mount point will not be allowed to be removed or renamed. • Open files with exclusive write access—using this option, applications can lock files for writing. This option is also known as single writer mode. When a file is open in single writer mode for writing, simultaneously opening it for writing on other mount points is not allowed. The file, however, can be opened on other mount points in read mode. By default, this option is disabled, unless explicitly enabled at mount time. • Use multiple network connections when possible—select this option to improve performance when there is a second network interface (NIC) installed in the Macintosh and at least two network ports are connected to Omneon MediaGrid. • Slow attribute refreshing (faster project loading)—select this option to change how rapidly Omneon MediaGrid is queried for file attributes. Final Cut Pro projects may open faster with the option selected. • Connect automatically when system starts up—select this option to preserve the connection to Omneon MediaGrid when the Macintosh is restarted. • Use high read priority—selected by default, this option provides low latency for read operations on the Omneon MediaGrid file system. • View Automatic Connections—click to view the information about the Omneon MediaGrid to which the Macintosh automatically connects when it is started, as shown below. Click the Drop Automatic Connection button to remove a Omneon MediaGrid from this list when the Macintosh is started. 158 Installation and Configuration Guide
