Troubleshooting If all other services are running, then the likely cause is that time is not synchronized on ContentDirectors. Resolution: ntpdate -u ntpdate should be initiated on any ContentDirectors that are running first so that the time source is known. “ntpdate -u” can then be initiated on ContentDirectors that are receiving the above error message. Troubleshooting on the ContentBridge The ContentBridge provides access to the Omneon MediaGrid for clients not running the FSD or clients that need to access the Omneon MediaGrid via FTP or AFP. ContentBridge Mounts to the Omneon MediaGrid The primary problem experienced with the ContentBridge occurs when the Omneon MediaGrid file system has not been mounted. To determine that the file system has been mounted, use one or both of the following commands. Mount command on the ContentBridge [root@CLB01649 ~]# mount /dev/ram0 on / type ext2 (rw) /dev/proc on /proc type proc (rw) /dev/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw) /dev/devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) //10.35.99.180/SBOD on /mnt/10.35.99.180/SBOD type cifs (rw,mand) /10.35.134.200/mg0 on /mnt/omfs/10.35.134.200/omneon/omfs/mg0 type omfs (rw,username=omneon,password=xxx) df command on the ContentBridge [root@CLB01649 ~]# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/ram0 249551 124082 125469 50% / /dev/shm 1037296 0 1037296 10% /dev/shm //10.35.99.180/SBOD 5161484288 2706030592 2455453696 53% /mnt/10.35.99.180/SBOD /10.35.134.200/mg0 12975695328 2651456296 10324239032 21% /mnt/omfs/10.35.134.200/omneon/omfs/mg0 Note the line starting with /10.35.134.200/… This is the mount for the ContentBridge to the Omneon MediaGrid. Depending on the gateway configuration file, there may be multiple mount 260 Installation and Configuration Guide

Troubleshooting points. The number of mount points will vary depending on the number of mount points defined in the gateway file for different users. ContentBridge Configuration Files The second most common problem on the ContentBridge is that the config file or the gateway file has not been configured correctly. These are the two configuration files that the ContentBridge uses. The first configuration file, the “config” file, is the same for all ContentBridges in the Omneon MediaGrid. This file is located in the /tftpboot/config directory on the first two ContentDirectors in the Omneon MediaGrid. To edit this file, use the SystemManager, which pushes the configuration file to all ConentDirectors ensuring that when the ContentBridge downloads this file from the ContentDirector, the configuration information is the same across ContentDirectors. Refer to “Editing the ContentBridge Configuration File” in the Omneon SystemManager User Guide for instructions. The following is an example of this file. ContentServer and ContentBridge config file: [root@CLB01649 tmp]# cat config LOGHOST=10.35.134.200 REBOOT_ON_PANIC=YES SLICE_TIMEZONE=Etc/GMT+8 ENABLE_JUMBO_SERVER=NO ENABLE_JUMBO_BRIDGE=NO In addition to the config file on the first two ContentDirectors, there is a gateway file for each ContentBridge in the Omneon MediaGrid. The file name for the gateway file is CLBnnnnn and is case sensitive. The five n’s reflect the last five digits of the serial number of the ContentBridge. Again, any changes to this gateway file must be done on both ContentDirectors in the /tftpboot/config/gateway directory. When the CLBnnnnn file is downloaded to the gateway, it is stored in the /tmp directory with the file name gateway. This file can be examined using the “less,” “cat,” or “more” commands, or your preferred editor to ensure that the parameters in the file on the ContentBridge match the parameters on the ContentDirectors. The most common problem is that the changes to the gateway file are made on one ContentDirector but are never made on the file on the second ContentDirector. The output below is a listing of the files on one of the ContentDirectors and shows the CLBnnnnn notation of the file name.

ContentBridge Configuration Files<br />

The second most common problem on the ContentBridge is that the config file or the gateway file has<br />

not been configured correctly. These are the two configuration files that the ContentBridge uses. The<br />

first configuration file, the “config” file, is the same for all ContentBridges in the <strong>Omneon</strong> <strong>MediaGrid</strong>.<br />

This file is located in the /tftpboot/config directory on the first two ContentDirectors in the <strong>Omneon</strong><br />

<strong>MediaGrid</strong>. To edit this file, use the SystemManager, which pushes the configuration file to all<br />

ConentDirectors ensuring that when the ContentBridge downloads this file from the<br />

ContentDirector, the configuration information is the same across ContentDirectors. Refer to<br />

“Editing the ContentBridge Configuration File” in the <strong>Omneon</strong> SystemManager User Guide for<br />

instructions. The following is an example of this file.<br />

ContentServer and ContentBridge config file:<br />

[root@CLB01649 tmp]# cat config<br />

LOGHOST=10.35.134.200<br />

REBOOT_ON_PANIC=YES<br />

SLICE_TIMEZONE=Etc/GMT+8<br />

ENABLE_JUMBO_SERVER=NO<br />

ENABLE_JUMBO_BRIDGE=NO<br />

In addition to the config file on the first two ContentDirectors, there is a gateway file for each<br />

ContentBridge in the <strong>Omneon</strong> <strong>MediaGrid</strong>. The file name for the gateway file is CLBnnnnn and is case<br />

sensitive. The five n’s reflect the last five digits of the serial number of the ContentBridge. Again, any<br />

changes to this gateway file must be done on both ContentDirectors in the /tftpboot/config/gateway<br />

When the CLBnnnnn file is downloaded to the gateway, it is stored in the /tmp directory with the file<br />

name gateway. This file can be examined using the “less,” “cat,” or “more” commands, or your<br />

on the ContentDirectors. The most common problem is that the changes to the gateway file are made<br />

on one ContentDirector but are never made on the file on the second ContentDirector.<br />
