This chapter explains how to migrate MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video files from a VBrick NXG
(Linux) VOD server to a VBrick VOD-W (Windows) VOD server. This migration is a two-
step process:
To migrate NXG files
1. First run the Linux script
that identifies all video files present on the server.
2. Then run the migration tool to replicate these files on the VOD-W server.
Creating an Asset List
Use the steps listed below to run a script that will create an asset list (see Sample Asset List)
of all video files on the NXG server. The script requires that the following files be FTPed
to the NXG server. These files are located in the Portal Server utilities folder at:
Files\Vbrick\MCS\utils\NXGtoVODWMigrationTools
VBListAssets.awk
VBListAssets.sh
To FTP the files and run the script:
1. Open a Command Prompt on your PC and change directories to the folder with the files
listed above.
FTP <NXG_ip_address>
2. Login as user =
to transfer the files in binary mode.

ftp> mput VBL*

to exit FTP.
ftp> quit
3. Telnet to the NXG server to run the script.
telnet <NXG_ip_address>
4. Login as user =
chmod 777 VBL*
./VBListAssets.sh
5. Wait approximately two minutes until the script completes. When prompted for
password, type the root password (default =
nxg_asset_list
output. If it does, note the output for analysis by VBrick Support Services.
