Beyond the Basics
Maintaining an OVS System
The OVS provides powerful and flexible tools for maintaining the video-delivery
system. These tools include:
■
Oracle Video Server Manager (VSM) . VSM is a Java-based management tool
that provides a graphical means of viewing and managing your OVS system. It
enables you to perform a variety of system-maintenance and content-
management tasks, including:
■
Starting and stopping the OVS
■
Adding, removing, and updating content files within your digital-video
storage
■
Checking and editing the status of clips making up your various logical
content titles
■
Registering new or existing content files, so that OVS recognizes them and
allocates necessary resources for storing and delivering them
■
Defragmenting MDS volumes to minimize unusable empty disk space
To learn more about VSM, begin with Getting Started with Oracle Video Server
Manager, then continue with the online Oracle Video Server Manager Quick Tour
and Help system.
■
Command-line utilities that enhance and extend VSM capabilities. Some tasks
require extensive personalization or customization, and OVS includes a library
of command-line utilities to perform tasks that lie outside the usual domain of
VSM.
