 Message type: This parameter indicates how incoming text will be parsed to build

messages. In order to match most existing protocol, two different incoming message
types are handled (Figure 30).

◦ Fixed-length messages: All messages are always expected to be the same length.

The user has to provide the message length parameter.

◦ End of Line Byte message: All messages are expected to have a special "magic"

character to indicate the end of message. This type matches most text-based
protocol with an end of line character (\n) to validate the entry. The user has to
provide the end of message "magic" character. Multiple character sequence is not
supported (e.g., \r\n). Note that the "magic" character will NOT be part of the
message sent to the playback engine.

10 ShowVault Linux Terminal Commands

The ShowVault uses the Linux operating system. Here are some basic instructions on how to
navigate the Linux interface and access set up options to configure the system.

10.1 Linux Login and Terminal Window (Local Connection)

 Connect a standard VGA monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the ShowVault and power up

the unit.

____________________________________________________________________________________
SHV.OM.001293.DRM Page 85 of 146 Version 1.5

Doremi Labs

 User will be connected to the selected ShowVault remotely.

10.2.2 Remote Login from a Windows PC

From a Windows PC, the user will need to install an ssh client to login remotely. An example
ssh client is PuTTY, a free ssh client that can be found on the Internet. The connection and
login process is similar to that described in Section 10.2.1 for a Linux computer.

10.3 Generating Status Reports

When a problem appears on the ShowVault (freezes, loses video or audio output), a report can
be generated that gives detailed technical information on the nature of the problem. This file can
be sent via email (or FTP) to the engineers at Doremi Labs to determine the reason and to
address any fixes/updates that may be needed to resolve the issue.

To generate a status report, execute the following command from the terminal prompt after the
problem occurs and before rebooting the server:

 Type: sh /doremi/sbin/report.sh and then press Enter.
 This command will generate a report file in the /doremi/tmp folder.
 The user can then connect via FTP client to obtain the report that will need to be

provided to Doremi.

To write the report file to a USB drive do the following:

 Plug in the USB drive.
 The USB will be automatically scanned and mounted in Read-Only mode.
 Follow the instructions below to remount and write to it.
 Type: mount -o rw,remount /media/usb0/ and then press Enter. Drive will mount in

read/write mode.

 Type: cp /doremi/tmp/drmreport_xxxx.tgz /media/usb0/ (where xxxx represents the

actual date of the file) and then press Enter. The command will copy the report onto the
USB drive.

 Type: sync and then press Enter. The command will commit the copy to the drive.
 Type: umount /media/usb0/ and then press Enter. The command will un-mount the

drive and the file will be on the USB drive.

10.6.1 RAID Failure Identification

 To check the health of the RAID, open a new terminal and login as root.
 Type: more /proc/mdstat and then press Enter.
 On a healthy RAID, the command below will appear:

Personalities : [raid5]
md1 : active raid5 sda1[0] sdb1[1] sdc1[2]
21125248 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU]

md0 : active raid5 sda2[0] sdb2[1] sdc2[2]
760291968 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU]

 On a failed RAID, the command below will appear:

Personalities : [raid5]
md1 : active raid5 sdb1[1] sdc1[2]
21125248 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/2] [_UU]

md0 : active raid5 sdb2[1] sdc2[2]
760291968 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/2] [_UU]

 In the failed example above, the hard disk drive /dev/sda is failed. This failure could be the

result of a hardware failure or it could simply be that the user inadvertently pulled the drive
out.

10.6.2 RAID Reinitialization

To reinitialize the RAID, type the following command:

 Type: sh /doremi/sbin/reinit_raid.sh and then press Enter.

lost.

10.7 Ingest From Ethernet (FTP Server)

10.7.1 Uploading Files to a Remote ShowVault via FTP

This section describes how to send package files from a local Linux machine to a networked
ShowVault for ingest.

Open a new terminal window and follow these steps:

 Type: cd <foldername>/ and then press Enter.
 The descriptor (folder name) is the name of the folder that contains the package files

that are sent to the networked ShowVault for ingest.

◦ An example would be to type cd dcp_package/ and then press Enter.

◦ The folder called dcp_package contains the source material to be sent to the

ShowVault for ingest.

Note: For this example, it is assumed that the movie package is in a folder called dcp_package.

In practice, the folder name can be whatever the user decides to name it.

 Type: (IP address) and then press Enter.
 The descriptor is the IP address of the ShowVault to send the package files to.
 An example would be to type: 192.168.100.50 and then press Enter.
 User will be prompted for a login name and password for the networked ShowVault.
 Type the following:

◦ Name: ingest and then press Enter.

◦ Password: ingest and then press Enter.

 This login will automatically put the user into the /data/incoming/ folder on the destination

ShowVault. This will bring the user to the FTP command prompt: ftp >

From here type the following in the terminal window:

 Type: > prompt off // - this command turns off prompting for each individual file to be

copied.

Type: > mput



above (

dcp_package/) into the /data/incoming/ directory of the destination ShowVault.

*

// - this command puts all files from the source directory specified

 When completed, type bye and then press Enter at the command prompt to quit the FTP

session.
 The ShowVault will then automatically scan the /data/incoming/ directory and ingest the

files contained in it.

10.8 Changing the Linux Login Password

To change the ShowVault login password, open a terminal window and do the following:

 Type: mount -o rw,remount / and then press Enter.
 Type: password root and then press Enter. This changes the password for the login

named root.

 Type: password and then press Enter. Type the new password.
 Type: password and then press Enter. Retype the new password.
 Type: sync and then press Enter.
 Type: mount -o ro,remount /

Note: If changing the root password, make sure to record the password in a secure place. If the
password is lost, the user will no longer be able to perform root privileges or have root rights.

10.9 Changing the Linux Display Resolution

To set up the ShowVault display resolution for an external VGA or front panel server LCD
screen, do the following.

10.9.1 External VGA

 Type: mount -o rw,remount / and then press Enter. This allows the writing to boot

the flash card.

 Type: cd /etc/X11/ and then press Enter.

 Type: cp XF86Config-4.org XF86Config-4 and then press Enter.
 User will be prompted to overwrite the previous configuration.
 Type: y and then press Enter.
 Then do the following:

 Type: sync and then press Enter.

 Type: mount -o ro,remount / and then press Enter.
