Page 65: Allocating Workspaces
Managing Workspaces Allocating Workspaces Before you create Workspaces, you should consider how you want to allocate them. For example, do you want to allocate them to accommodate projects, groups, individual clients, streaming bit rates, media types, media distributors, or a combination of these? Once you create a plan to allocate Workspaces, you’ll need to determine how much storage each Workspace requires and allocate space accordingly.

Page 74: Deleting Workspaces
If you delete a Workspace that has been mapped to a local drive by a client, the client cannot access that Workspace. Clients should unmap the deleted Workspace by using the Avid ISIS Client Manager. For information on using the Client Manager, see the Avid ISIS 5000 Client Guide or the Client Manager Help.

Managing Workspace Access Privileges 3. Click the Delete button. A dialog box opens, prompting you to confirm that you really want to delete the Workspace. 4. Click Yes. The Workspace is deleted. Managing Workspace Access Privileges You can set privileges for user and user group access to Workspaces in the Workspaces tool. There are three levels of access available to clients of the network.
Page 76: Setting Workspace Access Privileges
4 Managing Storage Groups and Workspaces Consider the following for access privileges: • As access privileges are increased, the newly accessible Workspaces are immediately available. • If a client has Read privileges to a Workspace and is granted Read/Write privileges, the new privileges apply immediately, without modifying the Workspace.
Page 77: Redistributing Data
Workspaces. When a Workspace is deleted, a redistribution is automatically initiated. Clients working with data on the ISIS 5000 might experience performance degradation until the redistribution finishes. Once a redistribution is started, you can suspend the redistribution if needed and restart it at a more appropriate time.
Page 78: Using Advanced Redistribution Commands
4 Managing Storage Groups and Workspaces Using Advanced Redistribution Commands Under some conditions, you might have to suspend or resume an in-progress redistribution. You can do this with the Advanced Commands options available on the toolbar in the Workspaces tool. You can also use the Advanced Commands to verify a redistribution.
Page 79 Redistributing Data 5. Click Send. When you manually suspend a redistribution, you must also manually resume it. Suspending redistributions should be considered temporary — Workspaces should not be left in the suspended state for extended periods of time. A confirmation window opens. 6.
