    Hello,

    Could someone give me some advice? I am new to the Mac world. I am very interested in learning all I can about the Apple equipment that my company has purchased.

    It is a (4) seat FCP editing configuation. It includes (4) servers – Gateway, Directory, Metadata – (4) clients and 21T of RAID storage.

    What magazines, websites, classes, and/or books can be studied to better understand and maintain this equipment?

    Thanks
    Junior

    Well… the setup you are talking about sounds a lot like XSAN, which is a fairly complex storage system. Some good places to start learning about it:

    Apple’s XSAN Administrator’s Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/xsan/XsanAdminGuide.pdf

    Apple Pro Training Series: XSAN Quick Reference Guide

    To learn about FCP:

    To learn about Mac OS X Server:

    You should keep in mind that these books are definately not ALL you are going to need to know about running an XSAN… it is a fairly complex system. The best thing to do is to get someone who is very knowledgeable about it and learn from them while working on it.

    Best,
    Phil
