Avid Lanshare EX repurpose
Hi all. We just moved from the Adrenalines to FCS and the Facilis when we went HD. I have an Avid Lanshare EX that I would like to turn into a server.
I’m not very familiar with networking etc, so pardon my ignorance. Could I install Apache Server or just use the Widows Server 2003 on the thing and away I go?
I can’t connect to it through fiber manager or connection manager b/c they don’t like Leopard and I can’t stand to have 3TB just sitting around not being used.
Thanks,
Billy -

could you put the lanshare on the Facilis as a fiber client?

Bobby,
I don’t know but that sounds like a good option. I’ve had no luck in finding answers to what I can do with a 3TB Avid Lanshare now that we no longer use Avid software.
I’d like to use it as a place to back up all the desktop machines or as a web server but I’m not sure how to go about that.
Can the machine be be used as a Win2003 Server (that’s what is installed on it) without using the Unity software – just uninstalling it?

Yes you can use that machine as a windows server without the Unity software installed. good luck!
