Configuring SSV Groups
An SSV Group consists of one or more ISVs. ISVs within an SSV Group work as a team with regard to
content ingest, cache-fill responses, load distribution, and bandwidth usage. SSV Groups interact with
other SSV Groups by passing cache-fill requests among each other based on performance qualification
and cost considerations.
Note The SSV Groups Setup page is part of the TV Playout feature and is displayed only if TV Playout feature
is enabled. For more information, see the “Playout Scheduler” section on page F-11.
An ISV can never be a member of more than one SSV Group.
Note The term SSV used in the CDSM GUI is the same as the ISV. The terms are interchangeable.
When grouping ISVs you should consider network costs, bandwidth usage, and the geographic locations
of the ISVs. All ISVs in a group are considered to have the same cost to reach a destination.
Note The maximum number of SSV Groups is 20.
To configure an SSV Group, do the following:
Step 1 Choose Configure > Array Level > SSV Groups Setup. The SSV Groups Setup page is displayed.
Step 2 From the Select SSV Group to View/Edit drop-down list, choose Add New SSV Group and click
Display.
To edit an SSV Group, choose the SSV Group from the drop-down list and click Display.
Step 3 In the New SSV Group Name field, enter the name of the SSV Group and click Submit.
You can use only alphanumeric characters (0–9, a–z, A–Z), the dash (-), and the underscore (_) to create
an SSV Group name.
Step 4 Add the SSVs (ISVs) to the SSV Group.
The unassigned SSVs are listed along with a drop down-list for each that offers the options described in
Table 4-31.
Step 5 Click Submit.
