Running the Configuration Assistant

3. Apply power to the

ContentDirectors

by connecting both power cords to separate, isolated

power sources. Press the Power button on the front control panel of each

ContentDirector

.

The ContentDirectors take approximately five minutes to start. Wait for the power-on indicator
to light before continuing.

4. Apply power to the

High Bandwidth ContentBridge 2010F

(if part of the system) by

connecting both power cords to separate, isolated power sources. Press the power button on
the front control panel. Wait for the power-on indicator to light before continuing.

5. Apply power to the

ContentBridge 1000

(if part of the system) by pressing the power switch

on the back of the device.

6. Apply power to the ContentServers and ContentStores as follows:

Running the Configuration Assistant

The configuration assistant creates a directory structure in the /omneon/sharedsys/configfiles
directory with the configuration parameters for all of the ContentDirectors.

The configuration script asks a series of questions requiring information specific to the customer
site. Use the information from the

Harmonic MediaGrid Installation Planning Guide

to complete

the answers. Note that the assistant will display suggested responses in brackets. During the
assistant, you can use the up or down arrow keys to tab to previous responses.

Follow these steps to run the configuration assistant.

IMPORTANT:

Make sure that the completed

Harmonic MediaGrid Installation Planning Guide

is available

before continuing. Also make sure you have reviewed the information in

Getting Started with the Harmonic

MediaGrid Configuration Assistant

before continuing.

To run the configuration assistant:

1. Connect a monitor and keyboard to the first ContentDirector in your Harmonic MediaGrid

system.

CAUTION:

Do not attempt to run the Configuration Assistant remotely (for example, via SSH). You must

run the Configuration Assistant directly from the ContentDirector in order for it to successfully configure
the system.
