Connecting Archiving Storage
NOTE This section does not apply to Autodesk Lustre.
Visual Effects and Finishing applications support archiving to USB 2.0, FireWire

(IEEE 1394) and fibre
channel devices. This includes filesystems, VTRs and tape drives. This section discusses the requirements for
filesystem and tape drive devices. For information on connecting a VTR, see
filesystem and tape drive devices. For information on connecting a VTR, see
on page 22.
Filesystem Devices
USB 2.0 and FireWire (IEEE 1394) attached devices must be formatted with one of the following filesystems:
XFS, ext2, ext3, or HFS (Mac
XFS, ext2, ext3, or HFS (Mac

NOTE Care must be taken to ensure that the filesystems used to store archives are reliable, stable and properly
backed up so as to protect the archive integrity. This functionality is not provided by the application.

SCSI Tape Drive Devices
SCSI tape drives can be connected to a fibre channel port of the workstation by way of a fibre-channel-to-SCSI
bridge, such as the Atto FibreBridge 2390D. The tape drive device must meet two criteria. First, the device’s
driver must accept standard UNIX tape device calls. Second, the device must be certified for use with the
currently supported version of the workstation operating system and kernel.
