I know this thread is three years old, but I ran into the same problem today and found this link, which helped:

Hi Jim,

I’m sorry I’m not replying with a solution to your problem, but I’m curious what you came up with.

We have a predominately FCP environment already on Xsan, but we also have a Media 100. We were considering upgrading our OS 9 M100 to OS X and putting it on Xsan as well, but it sounds like that has problems.

I understand exactly the problem you’re describing with the affinities and storage pools.

How many M100s are you trying to network? Do you also use the Xsan with FCP?

Thanks,
Philip

Howdy, I realize this is an old post, so I might start a new thread, but I’ve experienced the same problem a couple times – you have deck control but no video during capture – and each time the following resolved it.

I just quit FCP, turned off our Sony DVCam deck, waited a couple seconds, turned it back on, and opened FCP. This fixed it, so evidently something gets off on the deck’s firewire bus or the computer’s.

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with the deck?

I have also tried quiting and “FCP Rescueing” (using the FCP Rescue software) FCP and when it came back up, it was experiencing the same problem during capture – deck control but no picture. The only thing that fixed it was rebooting the deck.
