File System Naming

This step only applies if your company has standardized computer and server naming conventions or adding multiple AMS Express Primary Chassis’ and need a new database name to ensure no conflicts.

It is highly recommended to perform this step now. Renaming a file system after system configuration and attached clients is significantly more complex. If default values are fine, skip this step and proceed to the next one.

The default Grass Valley file system name is gvfs_sysman1. The default Grass Valley VM is sysman1.

The file system must start with gvfs_ while the suffix-name and the VM names must match (i.e. sysman1).

For example, Big Data Television uses bd as a prefix so the file system name could be gvfs_bdnew and the VM name bdnew. If a naming convention is required, proceed replacing gvfs_bdnew and bdnew in the examples that follow with company specified names (use the chart below and keep it for reference).
