Test the Fibre Channel network using Media Manager

Use this procedure to perform a quick test of your video network setup with Media
Manager. Media Manager allows you to have access to media stored anywhere on
your network and provides tools for managing that media—such as explore, cut, copy,
paste, delete and transfer. You can manage media stored locally on the disk array
attached to the Profile XP system or on any Profile XP system connected to the
network. You can also transfer media stored on any Profile XP system on your video
network via the video network connection. For detailed information on using all the
features of Media Manager, refer to the Profile XP User Manual.
This procedure tests the Fibre Channel network starting with only two Profile XP
systems, then continues by adding one Profile XP system at a time until all systems
are on and tested.
NOTE: If you encounter a problem during any portion of this test procedure, refer
to Chapter 10, "Solving Common Setup Problems", on page 229.
To test the Fibre Channel video network:
1. Power-on two Profile XP systems.
2. Perform the following test on each Profile XP system:
a. Double-click on the Port Server icon. This starts the Fibre Channel
communication tool. It must always be running on any machine where you are
using Fibre Channel. If you want, you can place Port Server in StartUp folder
and set it to run minimized. Make sure it's running on the other Profile machine,
too.
b. Start Media Manager by double-clicking the shortcut on the desktop or by
