Page 13: Appendix B: Using A Second Network Interface
APPENDIX B: USING A SECOND NETWORK INTERFACE Optimo Server supports using a second network interface card (NIC) to partition cluster data traffic between the database (control) and the file system (data). Partitioning network traffic allows a physical separation between server data and outputs, helps alleviate network bottlenecks, and is useful for installations where file storage may be maintained independently of Optimo Server.
Page 14: Appendix C: Optimo Server Clusters
APPENDIX C: OPTIMO SERVER CLUSTERS A cluster of Optimo Servers is comprised of a single management server, or node, and one or more worker servers (nodes). A cluster functions as a single transcoding engine, distributing the total workload to available nodes. Nodes in a cluster share a single, common database, common system time, and file system share.
Page 15: The Worker Node
THE WORKER NODE A worker node is any Optimo Server that: § Connects to the management node’s database. § Mounts the management node’s file share. The configure script will prompt for the name or IP address of the cluster’s management node:...
Page 16: Configuring A Worker Node Using A Configuration File
IP configuration must be updated to the values desired for this worker node. Next, configure the worker node using the command: sudo ./elemental_production_server_2.0.2.####.run -i settings.xml This step assumes that the settings.xml file has been copied to the /home/elemental/ directory.
