Software Maintenance
There is a range of server IDs, 1 to 1000, that are reserved for Vaults and Caching Nodes. It is the
responsibility of the VVIM administrator to make sure the server IDs are unique among all Vaults and
Caching Nodes in the VVI. The VVIM reserves a group of 250 server IDs for each Stream Domain (for
example, 1001-1250, 1251-1500, and so on).
To generate a server ID for a Streamer, do the following:
Step 1 Choose Maintain > Software > ID Management. The Server ID Generator page is displayed; including
the System ID Settings, which consist of the following:
• Group ID Range Start—Beginning ID for the Stream Groups, Vault Groups, and Cache Groups
• Server ID Range Start—Beginning ID for the CDS servers in the system
• Setup ID Range Start—Beginning ID for the Streamer Setup server
Step 2 Click Generate New ID. The new server ID is displayed in the Server ID field.
System Cleanup
The System Cleanup page allows you to clean up any errors that may have accumulated on your system.
When errors occur, they are added to the Alarms table. See the “Alarms Table” section on page 5-2 for
more information and other alarms and alerts that link to other CDSM pages.
The following errors and situations are monitored and registered in the Alarms table if found and linked
to the System Cleanup page:
• Orphaned server IDs
• Multiple or duplicate Cache Locate IP addresses
• Out of range Group IDs
• ServerMap and StatMap inconsistencies
• Extra or incorrect SERVERMAP15 entries
The System Cleanup page displays a Fix All option if there are no errors found for the Cache Locate IP
addresses (either Multiple or Duplicate). If Multiple or Duplicate Cache Locate IP addresses errors are
found, then the Fix All option is not displayed until these are resolved, because they require user input
as to which entry to keep and which entry to remove.
Orphaned Server IDs
Orphaned Server IDs occur when servers are removed from the CDSM without first removing them from
the groups they belong to (for example, Vault Group or Stream Group). This leaves a reference in the
groupmap table to the server ID that is no longer valid, which means the group can no longer be edited
through the CDSM GUI.
Multiple or Duplicate Cache Locate IP Addresses
The CDSM GUI checks and validates user input to prevent multiple locate entries in the CDS server
setupfile files; this is an additional check for multiple or duplicate Locate IP addresses. The Locate IP
address is used in VVIM systems with HTTP as the cache-fill protocol. The procedures are different
between multiple and duplicate Locate IP addresses:
