Configuring Intersite
16.1.
Context of Use
Issue 6.10.B - June 2015
When media exist on several sites physically distant one from each other, the system can
check whether the clips required on one site are present on another site and perform the
transfer of clips between sites. This is done thanks to the Intersite Manager service,
configured from the Remote Installer.
This process is useful to avoid ingesting clips several times, or to avoid ingesting them on
one site and transferring them on removable drives.
The configuration of the Intersite Manager is done from the Remote Installer.
IPAirEdit users can check the availability of clips on the different sites from the Ingest
Manager tool. Refer to the IPAirEdit user manual.
16.2.
Configuring Intersite Manager Service
Purpose
This service ensures the communication between sites physically distant. On each site,
the service transfers the requests to retrieve the clip availability status and clip request
status.
Master Role
Independent Islands Mode or Single Island Mode
Definition
Within a workgroup, an Intersite Mng service can run as Master or Slave.
•
The Master is the only Intersite Mng service which ensures the communication
between sites. There is only one Master per workgroup.
•
The Slave(s) bring(s) failover functionality and has/have a Waiting status.
Setting
If only one Intersite Mng service is started in the workgroup, it automatically runs as
Master.
When more than one Intersite Mng are started on a workgroup, the service with the lowest
priority number takes the Master role (1 being the highest priority and 2 the lowest priority).
In case several Intersite Mng services have the priority 1, the first one which is started
becomes the Master.
