System Installation with ContentServer 3000 Series Omneon MediaGrid switch failure, ensuring data protection and reliable system operation. Depending on the number of switches and ContentServers, failover time is reduced to a matter of seconds. A basic Omneon MediaGrid 3000 Series system consists of the following components: • Two ContentDirectors • One or more ContentServers • Up to five ContentStores connected to each ContentServer via SAS cable • One SystemManager platform • One or more optional ContentBridges • Network switches with a sufficient number of 1 GbE and 10 GbE ports to accommodate the network infrastructure within the Omneon MediaGrid system, and between the Omneon MediaGrid system and the client network. The following software installation procedure is also required: • Installing the File System Driver A separate ContentManager application is also available from Omneon. ContentManager is used for setting, reviewing and changing attributes on associated files, directories, and user permissions of Omneon MediaGrid. Refer to the Omneon ContentManager User’s Guide for more information. Network Diagram with 1 GbE Network The network topology diagram in Figure 2 shows a basic network configuration using ContentServers with 1 GbE NIC cards. Note that with the 1 GbE NIC card option, each controller on a ContentServer has six ports: four 1 GbE ports on the add-in Ethernet card and two 1 GbE ports on the serverboard. In Figure 2, note the following: • Private VLAN 1 is a dedicated VLAN defined on the 1 GbE switch shown on the left. Private VLAN 2 is a dedicated VLAN defined on the 1 GbE switch shown on the right. The ContentDirectors must communicate on both private VLANs. • To allow failover, the Public VLAN indicated with the blue cables must also be connected to the switch or module from the Public VLAN indicated with the gray cables. The separate colors indicate failover configuration only; in reality these are the same VLAN. • The connection indicated by turquoise cables is used for a troubleshooting utility called the Baseboard Management Console (BMC). This requires a 1 GbE connection from each controller on a ContentServer to the 1 GbE switch. This connection can be used for data transfer in addition to the BMC. The BMC cables should be connected to the Public VLAN. • ContentStores are connected to a ContentServer via SAS cables. 18 Installation and Configuration Guide
