Harmonic MediaGrid Release 4.1
Setting the ContentStore 5840 Identification Number
Following a controller fail-over.
If the
Managed ContentStores and ContentServers
field on the ContentServer Properties
page shows all, or a large majority, of ContentStores and ContentServers being managed by
one controller (for example, five out of six).
If you fail to balance your ContentServer in the situations listed above, it may affect the
performance of the ContentServer.
NOTE:
Harmonic recommends that you schedule balancing during times when the system is not loaded.
For example, this may be late at night. System performance may be affected while balancing is occurring.
To balance the ContentServer 3000 or 4000:
1. Click the
Servers & Switches
icon on the
Configuration
tab to access the
Servers &
Switches
page.
2. In the
ContentServers/ContentStores
section, click the
Name
hyperlink for the required
ContentServer to access the
Properties
page.
3. Click the
Failback
button.
NOTE:
You may also use the Failback button on any ContentStore being managed by the ContentServer
you wish to balance.
4. Verify that all ContentStores and ContentServers appear in the
Managed ContentStores and
ContentServers
field on the ContentServer Properties page. If they are not all listed, contact
Technical Support for assistance.
After clicking Failback, you may observe on the ContentServer Properties page that some
ContentStores or ContentServers in the
Managed ContentStores and ContentServers
field for
one controller now appear under a different controller, in which case, balancing was successful.
Setting the ContentStore 5840 Identification Number
The ContentStore 5840 ID number is not set before the first system power on. The display is set
to “00” (flashing). The unit continues to power up even if the unit identification number is not set.
To set the unit iD number:
1. Press and hold the Input switch on the operator’s panel for five seconds (see
to locate the input switch). The left-hand digit flashes.
2. Press and release the Input switch to increment the number until the required digit is reached.
3. Press and hold the Input switch for five seconds. The right-hand digit flashes.
4. Press and release the Input switch to increment the number until the required digit is reached.
5. Press and hold the Input switch for five seconds to finish setting the number. Values of “01” to
“99” are valid.
Enabling Directories with More than 15 Levels
With version 3.4 and later, you may enable your Harmonic MediaGrid file system to contain
directories with more than 15 levels.
CAUTION:
Before enabling this support, please note that moving to an earlier release after having
created directories deeper than 15 levels is
not
supported. Harmonic recommends that you confirm your
overall satisfaction with release 3.4 before enabling this feature.
