Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux® Workstations

4 To enable remote access to clip libraries, in /etc/exports specify all directories you want remote hosts
to be able to access. You can export the entire/usr/discreet directory to enable remote access to all
clip libraries, projects, user preferences and setups. Or you can export only certain subdirectories, such
as/usr/discreet/clip or /usr/discreet/project. For example, to export the /usr/discreet/clip
directory, add the following line to the end of the exports file: /usr/discreet/clip *(rw, sync,
no_root_squash). Save the updated exports file, and run the command exportfs -a to apply the
changes.
5 To configure the Wiretap server edit /usr/discreet/wiretap/cfg/wiretapd.cfg. The house network
IP address should already be present in the file, as it is added automatically during installation. Specify
any additional IP addresses Wiretap should broadcast for self-discovery, for example:
IP1=10.10.0.1IP2=10.10.11.200. Optional: If your network comprises Windows or Mac OS X systems
that will use Wiretap to access media from your workstation, configure the Wiretap Path Translation
service so that media paths are accurately translated between operating systems. See Visual Effects and
Finishing applications Wiretap path translation (page 54).
6 To restart and test Wire: /etc/init.d/stone+wire restart. To test Wire is working:
/usr/discreet/sw/tools/sw_framestore_dump which should show all Wire hosts discovered on your
network.
Upgrade projects to the current version
You do not need to perform this task if you are upgrading to a service pack of the same version or to a service
pack of the same extension.
Use the copyProjects command-line tool to upgrade your projects to the current version. Using this tool
instead of manually re-creating your projects is the recommended approach, as it reduces the time needed
to migrate multiple projects, and prevents human error. copyProjects does not copy any media. It only
re-creates projects and copies their settings and setups to the current version. You still have to transfer
your media using the network library. :
1 Iin a terminal, as root. run /usr/discreet//bin/copyProjects.
2 It detects all projects from previous versions, and prompts you to continue.
■ If the version returned by the script is the newly installed version, answer Yes and confirm. It creates
a copy of each project for the current version. The string _copy is appended to the end of the new
project name. Then use the network library to transfer media into the copied projects.
■ Otherwise, change the application version to which projects are copied:
1 In a terminal, as root, Open a terminal and log in as root, run
/usr/discreet//bin/selectWiretapVersion.py.
2 Select the version you want to copy projects to.
3 When finished, run the copyProjects script.
Transfer clip libraries to current projects
To access clip libraries from projects created with any Visual Effects and Finishing software between versions
2007 to 2011, you must transfer the clip libraries to a project created in the current version. You can install
the current version and use Wire to transfer the clip libraries to a current project. See your application help.
For a Linux system where you do not wish to install the current version, or for IRIX systems, you can also
use the following procedure to transfer media to the current version.
1 Use Backdraft Conform 2007 or any 2008, 2009, 2010, or 2011 application to create a project and a
clip library on the 2013 system. See your application help. The project and library is formatted for the
software version it was created with.
