If the Stream Manager is unable to contact the VVIM during the initial configuration, the cdsconfig
script prompts the Stream Manager administrator to contact the VVIM administrator for the server ID.
The VVIM administrator would then go to the Configuration Generator page to generate the IDs for the
Stream Manager.
For HTTP streamers, if the Stream Manager is unable to reach the VVIM, either because port 80 is not
open for communication or because of some other connectivity reason, the Stream Manager
administrator can contact the VVIM administrator for the needed information. This information consists
of the following:
• Stream Group IDs
• Cache Group information
Using the Configuration Generator page, the VVIM administrator can look up the group ID and server
ID ranges, and if necessary generate them. The VVIM administrator can provide the beginning group ID
for the Stream Groups, which the Stream Manager administrator enters on the Stream Groups Setup
page, if prompted to do so.
The Cache Group information is contained in an XML file, called CacheGroupsConfig.xml. The VVIM
administrator can click the Download link to view the CacheGroupsConfig.xml file, and right-click the
Download link to save the XML file locally. This XML file can be sent to the Stream Manager
administrator and the Stream Manager can upload it through the Cache Group Locator page.
To generate new IDs or view the existing IDs, do the following:
Step 1 Choose Maintain > Software > Configuration Generator. The Configuration Generator page is
displayed (Figure 7-4).

Step 2
In the Stream Domain Name field, enter the name of the Stream Manager that you are generating IDs
for.
