Moving players from one Spectrum server to another
What to do next
NOTE:
If replacing a MediaDirector: It is recommended that every MediaDirector sharing
a File System (EFS) be rebooted after one MediaDirector has been replaced. This ensures
that they are all in sync.
Moving players from one Spectrum server to another
This feature is useful when a MediaPort is “moved” between Spectrum servers, and when Spectrum
servers need to be serviced. Players may be moved from Spectrum servers that are not responding.
NOTE:
In this context, “moved” means physically removing a MediaPort or Spectrum X
from the source Spectrum server's 1394 bus by disconnecting its IEEE 1394 cable, and
then reconnecting its IEEE 1394 cable to the destination Spectrum server.
1. From the Configuration tab in SystemManager, click the Player Configuration icon on the left-hand
column.
If you have replaced a Spectrum server, the page should show 0 players configured for that server.
2. Select the destination Spectrum server.
The Player List page appears.
3. On the
Player List
page, under
Move Players from another media server
, use the dropdown box to
select the host of the original Spectrum server, which has the players you wish to move.
4. Click Select Players .
The Select Players page appears, showing a list of those players that reside on the Spectrum server
you chose.
5. Select the players that you wish to move by clicking the appropriate check boxes. Optionally, click
Select all Players
.
6. Click Move to perform the move function between Spectrum servers.
The selected players will disappear from the list.
7. Click
Done
to complete the move.
8. Harmonic recommends you verify that the players are usable by recording or playing material using
those players on their new Spectrum server.
