Perform the steps in the procedure below to set up an optimal bandwidth reservation for the local application, as well as for remote workstations, based on your system configuration. To set up bandwidth reservation: 1 Open a terminal and log in as root. 2 Open the /usr/discreet/sw/cfg/sw_bwmgr.cfg file in a text editor. 3 Locate the [Device] section that corresponds to the standard filesystem partition (by default [Device0]), and uncomment it if it is commented out. 4 Add a Reservation line for each local or remote application, using the following syntax: 64 | Chapter 6 Software configuration
Reservation= [] [@] [()] [][))] where: ■ is the ID of the reservation, starting at 1 for each device. ■ represents the name of the application that needs the reserved bandwidth. This parameter can take one of the following predefined values: “inferno”, “flame”, “flint”, “flare”, “smoke”, “imcopy”, “stonifiseTool”, “publishTool”, “S+W Server”, “IFFFS Wiretap Server”, or “IFFFSTool” for other Visual Effects and Finishing command-line tools. The “smoke” token also includes Backdraft Conform. NOTE Application names must use quotes if they contain spaces. ■ is the Linux user account under which the remote application is running. This parameter is optional. ■ is the hostname of the remote workstation that is accesing the storage. This parameter is optional. ■ represents the minimum reading bandwidth required by the application, expressed in megabytes per second. If more bandwidth is available on the device, the Bandwidth Manager gives the application as much bandwidth as possible. ■ represents the minimum value towards which reading bandwidth for this application is reduced in low-bandwidth situations. The Bandwidth Manager will attempt to maintain this minimum bandwidth allocation for as long as possible. If the device bandwidth keeps degrading, then the bandwidth manager starts reducing bandwidth proportionally from the low-bandwidth values towards zero for all applications. ■ represents the minimum writing bandwidth required by the application, expressed in megabytes per second. If more bandwidth is available on the device, the Bandwidth Manager gives the application as much bandwidth as possible. If this parameter is not specified, the Bandwidth Manager automatically calculates a default value, based on and on the total configured read and write bandwidth values of the device. ■ represents the minimum value towards which writing bandwidth for this application is reduced in low-bandwidth situations. The Bandwidth Manager will attempt to give the application this minimum amount of bandwidth for as long as possible. If the device bandwidth keeps degrading, then the bandwidth manager starts reducing bandwidth proportionally from the low-bandwidth values towards zero for all applications. For example: Reservation1=flame 500 (300) Reservation2=flare artist@flare1 200 (100) 5 Save and close the configuration file, and restart Stone and Wire by typing: /etc/init.d/stone+wire restart NOTE Bandwidth for an application is actually reserved only when that application is running. Processes that do not have a bandwidth reservation setting in the sw_bwmgr.cfg file fall under the default combined reservation of 10 MB/s. Defining Groups of Applications The Stone and Wire Bandwidth Manager allows you to set up bandwidth reservations for custom groups of applications. All the applications in a group will share the same reservation. Advanced Configuration and Troubleshooting | 65
