Apple Pro Training Series: Optimizing Your Final Cut Pro System: A Technical Guide to RealWorld PostProduction [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

What areas of technical knowledge do you need in order to perform Xsan integration?

Why is a centralized Xsan directory critical?

Why should metadata networks be as isolated as possible?

What is the first thing to consider when determining the type and amount of storage hardware to get?

Give three options for where Final Cut Pro render files can be created on an Xsan system.

Once Xsan is up and running, should you use the original 501 user on the client nodes?

You need extensive knowledge of Fibre Channel networking, Ethernet networking, OS X Server, and Xsan software itself.
