I was wondering, I hear on flame news that there are people outhere using 3rd party disk arrays, how is this possible, and what r the min lowest cost raid system config.

Thanks again

Hi Maz,

for 2K work, memory speaking, we recommend at least 2 GB of RAM, preferably 3.

Newer versions of our applications don’t support third-party arrays.

Hi Martin

Isn’t there a problem running flame v6 with more than 512mb Ram?

Would v6 support 3rd party arrays?, .. if so how is it done ?, I remember a thread on flame news called STONE TAX, but still I’ve read a JF reply to post regarding third party arrays in use, and I know of a company who runs Inferno v4 that uses third party arrays and ..I thought this was impossible, I’m not much a techi, is it as simple as buying an scssi raid 0 and plugging it in to your octane, and away you go.. or do you have to pay a fee to discreet for a licence to use it ?

thanks for yor reply

You can use third party disk arrays.

Here, we use Eurologics. You do not have to pay fees to discreet but… you cannot use the background I/O module in Inferno, you can import only one clip at a time from the eurologics, so you may need a full time I/O guy doing imcopys (if you do not already have one)

You can only use third party arrays on older versions of the software (so upgrading will be an issue).

Also, there is no problem running flame on Octane with up to 1.5 G of RAM, pending an SGI patch which will resolve the issue, and let you install the recommended RAM based on the type of work you do.
