Enhancements

This section lists the enhancements to TV CDS 1.5.1.4.0.

Enhancements to the Asset Ingest Manager (AIM)

Handling of entitlement control messages (ECMs) in trick files

Ability to use FTP out move content from any Vault to an FTP client

Ability to use an ISV as a Vault configuration

Ability to have multiple session gateways

Ability to separate control and management traffic. In this release you can assign separate NIC interfaces to management traffic and control traffic. Management traffic such as session setup, session termination and message interaction between the backoffice and the CDSM are on one interfere, while control messages coming from the set-top boxes are on another interface.

Enhancement to the scripts used to create backups, initially install the software, and set the software version

RTSP enhancements for the DESCRIBE and GET_PARAMETER methods.

Optimized trick file playback

System Requirements

The Cisco TV CDS Release 1.5.4.1 runs on the CDE100, CDE200, CDE300, and CDE400 hardware models. See the Cisco Content Delivery Engine CDE100/200/300/400 Hardware Installation Guide for set up and installation procedures. See the "Related Documentation" section for links to the documentation online.

Limitations and Restrictions

This release contains the following limitations and restrictions:

Separation of RTSP messages from the management port has been implemented and is undergoing regression and longevity testing. This feature is certified pending the results of the test cycle.

The Parent-Child Service Groups Feature will be certified in a future release pending results of the test cycle.

New Installation Procedure


Note You must connect a monitor and PS/2 keyboard directly to the CDE, because the installation process overwrites the following files in the /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ directory which affects network connectivity. These files are the ifcfg-eth0, ifcfg-eth1, and ifcfg-eth2 files.



Caution The installer must be familiar with the CDS, the Linux operating system, and have an understanding of the Linux command line (including the vi editor).

All server management connections must be network reachable at the time of configuration.

There are sample 1.5.1.4.x configuration files in the "Sample Configuration Files for Vaults and Streamers" section for later comparison. The hostType is Vault, Streamer, or an SSV.

High-Level Installation Procedure

1. Each server must have Linux (RedHat Vallhala 7.3) installed.

2. The CDSM ISO image is copied onto the /arroyo partition, mounted, and installed on the management server, and the server is rebooted.

3. The CDS ISO image is copied onto the /arroyo partition, mounted and installed on each server, and server is rebooted.

4. All systems are configured using the CDSM GUI.

Installation Process

The installation process consists of the following tasks:

Getting a Software File from Cisco.com

Installing the Software on the CDSM

Installing the Software on the Streamer, Vault or SSV

Configuring Each Server for Management Access

Installing the Software on the CDSM

To install Release 1.5.1.4.0 on the CDSM and use the CDSM as the source for the ISO file, do the following:


Step 1 Copy the necessary files from the USB flash drive or the USB CD-ROM.

a. Copy cdsm_1514.iso and r1.5.1.4.0.iso to a USB flash drive, or create a data CD-ROM for each iso file. Do not us the "Create Disk from Image" option.

b. Mount the USB flash drive containing the release ISO image files on to the CDSM.

a. mkdir /mnt/usbstick

b. Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port on the front of the CDSM.

c. mount /dev/sde1 /mnt/usbstick

d. Copy the files from /mnt/usbstick to /arroyo/

e. umount /mnt/usbstick

c. Mount the CD-ROM containing release ISO image files.

a. mkdir /mnt/cdrom

b. Insert the CD in the CD-ROM drive on the CDSM.

c. mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

d. Copy the ISO image files from /mnt/cdrom/*.iso to the /arroyo/ directory.

e. umount /mnt/cdrom

Step 2 Mount and install the CDSM overlay, then configure the CDSM.

a. Mount the CDSM ISO image and install it.

a. mount -o loop /arroyo/cdsm_15410.iso /mnt/cdrom

b. cd /mnt/cdrom

c. ./install-asm.sh

b. Edit the network files on the CDSM.

a. Log in as user root.

b. Edit the /etc/hosts file and add the IP address and host name of the server. Make sure you remove any extraneous host names in the line (that includes the loopback and localhost entries).

c. Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file and add the proper hostname and gateway.

d. Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/eth0 file and add the correct values.

c. Edit the .arroyorc file as user isa.

a. Make sure that "self" line is set to the right value (3 for CDSM).

b. Make sure that the "groupid" and "serverid" lines are correct.

The "groupid" line must be the same for each server in the group.

The "serverid" line must be unique. A good practice is to use the last octet of the management IP address.

c. Make sure that "partno" line is correct. For a CDSM it is 1U-SATA-1.

d. Add a line to the CDSM .arroyorc file that says, "nohealth 1"

e. Make sure that all replication members are declared.


Note Make sure the IP address of the local server is not in .arroyorc file.


d. Make sure the database is running. There should be the command `su - isa' in the /etc/rc.local file. The easiest way to do this to log in as user isa.

a. su - isa

b. exit

e. Make sure the web service is running. There should be the command `apachectl start' in the /etc/rc.local file. The easiest way to do this is to open a browser and enter the IP address of the CDSM into the address text box. If the Arroyo CDSM login page does not come up, log in as user root and run the /arroyo/www/bin/apachectl start command.

f. If this is the first time the CDSM has been started, log in as user root and run the /usr/lib/php4/runonce command. This loads the default values and logins for the CDSM GUI.

g. Modify the /etc/rc.local and uncomment the su - isa -c "cd /arroyo/db" line and the /arroyo/www/bin/apachectl start line under ASM Services Start section.


Installing the Software on the Streamer, Vault or SSV

To install the Release 1.5.1.4.0 software on a Streamer, Vault, or SSV, do the following:


Step 1 Network the system and copy the ISO file from the CDSM to each server.

a. Log in as user root.

b. Edit the hosts file (vi /etc/hosts) and enter the IP address and hostname of the server. Make sure you remove any extraneous host names in the line (that includes the loopback and localhost entries).

c. Edit the network file (vi /etc/sysconfig/network) and add the proper hostname and gateway.

d. Edit the configuration file for the management interface. For Streamers, Vaults and SSVs use the vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 command. Make sure the file has the proper network settings.

e. Run the service network restart command.

f. Copy the ISO file from the CDSM to the server using the scp root@<cdsm ip>:/arroyo/r1.5.1.4.0.iso /arroyo/r1.5.1.4.0.iso command.

a. Enter "yes" at the security prompt.

b. When prompted, enter the user root password.

Step 2 Install the overlay contents.

Step 3 Reboot the server.


Configuring Each Server for Management Access

After the Release 1.5.1.4.0 overlay is installed and a server is rebooted, the serer must be configured so that the CDSM can connect to the server.


Note Once the CDSM is configured and the avsdb database is running you may proceed to prepare each server in the array.


To allow a server to communicate with the CDSM, do the following:


Step 1 Check the /etc/rc.local file and make sure the software is not yet set to start on boot.

a. Log in as user root.

b. Use the vi /etc/rc.local command to edit the rc.local file.

c. Locate the following lines and make sure they are commented out.

# su - isa -c "cd /home/isa/IntegrationTest; ./init_isa_env"

Software Upgrade Procedure


Caution Basic understanding of Linux command line and "vi" are required for the completion of the upgrade. Do not attempt this upgrade if you are unfamiliar with the CDS Product, Linux OS, and/or the "vi" interface.

To minimize downtime, off load all servers but the current Vault and Stream Master Servers. After the upgrade, bring up one upgraded server at a time, starting with a Vault Server, followed by a Stream Server. Do not continue until these 2 servers have become Content Store Master and Stream Setup and Control Primary.

The following procedures are covered in this section:

Getting a Software File from Cisco.com

Preparing for the Upgrade (This should occur 6-12 hours before starting the upgrade)

"Server Offload of Vaults and Streamers" section (This should occur 6 hours before starting the upgrade for the Vaults running Start Over and 3 hours before starting the upgrade for the Streamers. )

Preparing for the Upgrade

(This should occur 6-12 hours before starting the upgrade)


Caution It is mandatory that all systems be checked for disk space availability on the "/" and "/arroyo" partitions as well as overall system health. If needed, archive any log files greater than one month old, delete/upload any core.* files off the root file system and delete/upload any database backups. Failure to perform these steps could result in a failure of the upgrade script. A minimum of 2GB of space should be available on the "/" and "/arroyo" file systems and can be checked with the command "df -h". See the "Documentation Updates" section for more information.


Caution It is necessary for all backoffice content manipulation processes to be stopped during the upgrade. This includes, but is not limited to Start Over and normal content propagation.

Important Notes:

Best Practice for preparing the CDSM for upgrade includes archiving all CDSM database files and removing the reporting database files to decrease the CDSM database downtime. This task can happen as early as one day prior to the upgrade. We also need to move any backup folders in /arroyo/db to /arroyo prior to running any CDSM backup or upgrade scripts.

The Reporting Database files are as Follows:

/arroyo/db/asmaudit.db

/arroyo/db/cntrpt.db

/arroyo/db/cvrecordrpt.db

/arroyo/db/msa_unprocessed.db

/arroyo/db/rpt.db

/arroyo/db/sfail.db

/arroyo/db/tm.db

The /arroyo/db/tm.db file should be removed prior to restarting the CDSM database after the upgrade. Any of the reporting database files that are greater than 2GB should also be removed prior to restarting the CDSM database after upgrade.

Downtime will start from the time that the 1.4.4.1.x Master Streamer is placed into TRICKLE_DOWN until the time the first 1.5.1.4.0 Vault and Streamer are configured from the upgraded CDSM and come up as Content Store Master and Stream Setup and Control Primary. CDSM will be upgraded after all but the 1.4.4.1.x Master Vault and Master Streamer have been updated with the new 1.5.1.4.0 software.

CDSM Configuration and Database Files must be backed up manually.

CDSM must be upgraded to the 1.5.1.4.0 release before configuration files for 1.5.1.4.0 servers can be changed.

Version 1.5.1.4.0 of servers will support contents ingested on prior releases.


Step 1 Checking for disk space.

The df -h command can be run from the command line on each device.

You need approximately 2GB of free space (this accounts for the database backups done during the upgrade). If you do not have enough disk space, refer to the "Documentation Updates" section for guidelines on freeing more space.

Step 2 Uploading the upgrade files to the CDSM.

The CDSM is used as a jumping off point.

# cd /arroyo
# mkdir 15140

Step 3 Upload the upgrade files to each Vault and Streamer.

# cd /arroyo/1.5.1.4.0
# scp -p <*.iso> <vault or streamer ip address>:/arroyo/

Repeat for each Vault and Streamer.

Server Offload of Vaults and Streamers

(This should occur 3 - 6 hours before starting the upgrade)

Use the CDSM GUI to identify the master Vault and master Streamer.

From the CDSM GUI, click Monitor > System Level > Services and select the IP address of one of the Vaults to display the running services. The "Cisco Content Store Master" service will be running on the Master Content Store. Repeat this process until you locate the Master Content Store.

Likewise, to locate the Master Stream Service repeat this process for the Streamers until you locate the Server with "Cisco Stream Service Master" running.

Offload all but the master Vault server in a Start Over environment 6 hours before the scheduled maintenance window.

Offload all but the master Vault and master Streamer in a non-Start Over environment 3 hours before the scheduled maintenance window.

To offload a server, do the following:


Step 1 Click CDSM Maintain > Servers > Server Offload.

Step 2 From the Server IP drop-down list, select the server to be offloaded and click Display.

Step 3 Select Enable and click Submit.

Step 4 Repeat for each server to be offloaded.


Upgrade Procedure—Vaults and Streamers

To upgrade a Vault or Streamer, do the following:


Step 1 Check the CDSM to verify that the stream count on the offloaded server is zero.

a. Click Monitor > Server Level > NIC Monitor.

b. From the Server IP drop-down list, select the IP address of the server and click Display.

c. Click Graph Ports to view any stream traffic.

Step 2 Log in to the server as root and comment out the following lines from /etc/rc.local file and reboot the server.

# vi /etc/rc.local 

For a Streamer comment out:

#/arroyo/test/streamer/run
#su - isa -c "cd /home/isa/IntegrationTest; ./run_isa 
handle_orphan_streams >>& /home/isa/IntegrationTest/ns_log&"
#/home/stats/statsd -d eth0

For a Vault comment out:

#/arroyo/test/vault/run
#su - isa -c "cd /home/isa/IntegrationTest; ./run_all >>& 
/home/isa/IntegrationTest/ns_log&"
#/home/stats/statsd -d eth0

This will ensure that none of the CDS services are running after the system is rebooted.

Step 3 Change to the arroyo directory.

# cd /arroyo

Step 4 Mount the .iso upgrade image

# mount r1.5.1.4.0.iso -t iso9660 -o loop /mnt/cdrom

Step 5 Change to the cdrom directory.

# cd /mnt/cdrom

Step 6 Upgrade the server.

b. Select proper settings for each interface (Cache for the fill only traffic, Stream/Cache for filling/streaming, and so on).

c. Click Submit to save the configuration changes. The Server Setup page is displayed. DO NOT CLICK ANY ITEM IN THE LEFT PANEL. Continue configuring the server using the Server Setup page to enter other information applicable to your network environment.

c. Configure the Server Setup for each Vault. Vault Mirror Copies and Vault Local Copies are VERY IMPORTANT values. Source IPs are not necessary for Layer 2 networks.

d. Configure Setup Streamers. Source IPs are not necessary for Layer 2 Networks.

e. Configure Control/Setup IP for each Stream Group.

a. Click Configure > Array Level- > Control/Setup I.P

b. Set the IP address and Subnet mask to the previous Stream Server Master IP address and Subnet mask. For the IP Type, select Control/Setup IP.

c. Click Submit to save the configuration changes.

Step 6 Verify all configuration files have been updated.

a. Login as user root.

b. Use the ls -las /arroyo/test command on each server. There should be an ArpTable, RoutingTable, RemoteServers, StreamDestinationMap, and TranportGoupIdTable.

c. Use the ls -las /arroyo/test/streamer command on each Streamer. The - run, setupfile, starteth files should be updated.

d. Use the ls -las /arroyo/test/vault command on each Vault. The - run, setupfile, starteth files should be updated.

e. Use the la -las /arroyo/test/ssv command on each SSV. The - run, setupfile, starteth files should be updated.

Step 7 Edit the /etc/rc.local file and uncomment all the services so the CDS will run at boot time.

STREAMER/SSV
/sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/had
su - isa -c "cd /home/isa/IntegrationTest; ./init_isa_env"

# Streamer and ISV Only
/usr/bin/avslauncher >& /root/avslauncher.log&
/arroyo/test/streamer/run

# Streamer and Vault 
su - isa -c "cd /home/isa/IntegrationTest; ./run_isa --handle_orphan_streams >>& 
/home/isa/IntegrationTest/ns_log&"

# Streamer and Vault
/home/stats/statsd -d eth0

VAULT
/sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/had
su - isa -c "cd /home/isa/IntegrationTest; ./init_isa_env"
/arroyo/test/vault/run

# Streamer and Vault
su - isa -c "cd /home/isa/IntegrationTest; ./run_isa >& /home/isa/IntegrationTest/ns_log&"

# Streamer and Vault 
/home/stats/statsd -d eth0

Step 8 Reboot the configured servers.

a. Verify that the upgraded servers are now running as 1.5.1.4.0 master Vault and master Streamer.

b. If you are not configuring Layer 3 networking at this time you should verify that the system is functioning. And restore the sites Video Ecosystem functionality.

c. Continue to the "Converting CDS System from Layer 2 to Layer 3" section to convert a 1.5.1.4.0 system from Layer 2 to Layer 3.


Converting CDS System from Layer 2 to Layer 3

To convert from a Layer 2 network to a Layer 3, do the following:


Step 1 Log in to the CDSM as a user with engineering access. The CDSM Setup page is displayed.

Step 2 In the Deployment Network Config section, make sure L3 Networked is selected and click Submit.

Step 3 Configure each server.

Step 4 Click Configure > Server Level > Interface Setup.

Step 5 Select the proper settings for each interface (Cache for the fill only traffic, Stream/Cache for filling/streaming and etc.)

Step 6 Click Submit to save the configuration changes. The Server Setup page is displayed. DO NOT CLICK ANY ITEM IN THE LEFT PANEL. Continue configuring the server using the Server Setup page to enter other information applicable to your network environment.

Step 7 Configure the Server Setup for each Vault and Streamer. Enter all the necessary Source IP addresses foe each configured interface.

Step 8 Click Configure > Server Level Route Tables.

Step 9 Enter the route table information for each server.

Step 10 Click Configure > Array Level > Streamer BMS.

Step 11 In the Resource Manager field, add the Session Gateway name and click Submit.

Step 12 Verify all configuration files have been updated.

a. Login as user root.

b. Use the ls -las /arroyo/test command on each server. There should be an ArpTable, RoutingTable, RemoteServers, StreamDestinationMap, and TranportGoupIdTable.

c. Use the ls -las /arroyo/test/streamer command on each Streamer. The - run, setupfile, starteth files should be updated.

d. Use the ls -las /arroyo/test/vault command on each Vault. The - run, setupfile, starteth files should be updated.

e. Use the la -las /arroyo/test/ssv command on each SSV. The - run, setupfile, starteth files should be updated.

Step 13 Reboot each server. Log in to each Vault, Stream, and SSV and enter the reboot the command line.

Disk Space and System Health Checks

These checks should be performed prior to, and immediately after, any upgrade procedure to ensure system integrity and functionality.

Disk Space Checks


Step 1 Log in to the CDSM as root.

Step 2 Tail the log file using the following command:

tail -f /arroyo/tmp/monitor.log 

Step 3 Check the "Other Info:" section for LSP disk space availability.

Step 4 If there is less than 88% left on any server, log in to that server and enter the following commands:

cd /arroyo/archive/arroyo_log
rm -f *.log.<months older than 2 months in the past>*

Two examples follow:

rm -f *.log.01*
rm -f *.log.02*

Step 5 Check the "Other Info:" section for ISP disk space availability.

Step 6 If there is less than 88% left, log in to that server and enter the following command:

find /home/isa/ -name core.*

Upload or remove any core files found.


System Health Checks (CServer)


Step 1 Log in to the CDSM as root.

Step 2 Tail the log file using the following command:

tail -f /arroyo/tmp/monitor.log 

Step 3 Look at the role column and verify that one master Streamer and one master Vault are listed.

Step 4 Verify the correct number of disks available on each server.

Step 5 Verify all Streamers are serving streams.

Step 6 Verify GOID counts on all Vaults.


System Health Checks (ISA)


Step 1 Log in to each server as user isa.

Step 2 Change to the IntegrationTest directory .

cdint

Step 3 Verify all ISA services are running by entering the following command:

./show_calpyso_services

Step 4 Verify the Name Service and ISA Service checks are working by entering the following command:

tail -100f ns_log


System Health Checks (database)


Step 1 Log in to each server as user isa.

Step 2 Change to the Berkeley directory.

On Streamers and Vaults:

cddb

On the CDSM:

cd Berkeley


Step 3 Extract the contents of the Berkeley database on each server.

dumpDB

Step 4 Verify that all keys files are synchronized with each other.

For Vault Servers and CDSM:

ctnobj.lst

For Stream Servers and CDSM

stmsvc.lst
svcgrp.lst
tsin.lst
tsout.lst

Step 5 Verify that all main.db files display the current date and are close in file size.

Step 6 Check the /home/isa/Berkeley/LOG/log file for any recent database errors.

Step 7 Check the /arroyo/log/avsdb.log.<today's date> for any recent database errors.
