Re-Installing Nexis Client - Avid Technology FastServe Live Edit Setup Manual

Re-installing NEXIS Client

You can easily upgrade the NEXIS Client using the FastServe WebSettings. But if you wish to re-
install the Client manually, it is recommended to remove all associated components before installing
the new version of the NEXIS Client.
To reinstall Avid NEXIS Client components:
1. Enter the following commands in PuTTY or other emulator to remove the following
components:
rpm -ev AvidNEXISBenchmarkAgent
rpm -e AvidNEXISClient
rpm -ev afpfs-ng
2. Remove the fuse-libs component:
rpm -qa | grep -i fuse-libs
rpm -e fuse-libs
3. Download and install the kmod-fuse component:
Copy kmod-fuse-3.10.0-693.el7.centos.avid.x86_64.rpm to /data/public
rpm -ivh /data/public/kmod-fuse-3.10.0-693.el7.centos.avid.x86_64.rpm
4. Install the Avid NEXIS Client (choose the version compatible with your NEXIS system):
Copy the Avid NEXIS Client installer to /data/public
chmod 755 /data/public/AvidNEXISClient_el7.centos.x86_64_18.9.0_15.bin
/data/public/AvidNEXISClient_el7.centos.x86_64_18.9.0_15.bin -f
5. Update the modules:
depmod -a
systemctl restart avidfos
6. Check what version of NEXIS Client is currently installed:
rpm -qa | grep -i AvidNEXISClient
7. Change the AvidRegistry settings:
a. vim /etc/AvidRegistry
b. Change #AvidFos\Parameters\UseIfnames eth0/AvidFos to
AvidFos\Parameters\UseIfnames eth2.
n
If your server has more than one active Ethernet interface, it is important to uncomment (remove the
# sign) the line for the eth interface working with NEXIS. If you are working with only one eth
interface, there is no need to uncomment it because NEXIS will automatically use this one.
c. Make sure that the AvidFos\Parameters\UsrvTransport\Hires parameter is set
to 4 and remove the # sign at the beginning.
n
If you use the 10GB Ethernet port for NEXIS communication, make sure this line is uncommented
and the Hires parameter is set to 4 for the highest performance.
d. Start OVS:
/data/VS/bin/set_run -a all
