EDIUS/XRE Setup for SMB storage

Install/upgrade EDIUS and XRE/Render Engine software as directed by standard instructions in GV STRATUS customer documentation. Make sure you follow the proper sequence for installation and running applications.

Mount the V: drive to your XRE/Render Engine server and any high resolution STRATUS/EDIUS clients.

For SMB storage, mount the Public Media Share, such as the following:
\\gvstorage-public\mediashare

Add an EDIUS project folder at the root of the V: drive, as directed by standard instructions in GV STRATUS customer documentation.

In GV STRATUS Control Panel, click Applications | EDIUS | Default Project Settings and set Default project location to the UNC path of the above EDIUS folder, as follows:

For SMB storage, use a path to the Public Media Share, such as the following:
\\gvstorage-public\mediashare\EDIUS

Follow the instructions in the the "...Installation and Service" section of the GV STRATUS Topic Library to complete EDIUS and XRE/Render Engine setup for CIFS mount.

You must run the GV STRATUS application on both the XRE/Render Engine server and the GV STRATUS clients before configuration.

For SMB storage, when on the XRE/Render Engine server using the XRE configuration utility to set the EDIUS project folder, the following workaround is required:

Note: You cannot set the project folder by browsing through the network and selecting the folder on SMB storage. You must make this setting with the following steps.

On the XRE/Render Engine Server, in the XRE Management or XREController setting window, save any Project folder configuration.
Exit the XRE configuration utility.
Go to C:\ProgramData\Grass Valley\EDIUS\8.0\XRE\XREManagementServerSetting.xml.
Edit and save the project Folder value, as shown in this example: <xre:projectFolder>\\gvstorage-public\mediashare\EDIUS</xre:projectFolder>
Restart the system.
