Chapter 3 Configuring the Aurora Transfer System

Establish conventions

The following conventions are recommended to make your Aurora Transfer system easier to work on and understand. Refer to these sections as necessary as you configure your system.

MDI logical names convention

The Aurora Transfer system uses a Managed Device Interface (MDI) to manage a device that stores media as sets. Typically the se are the source and dest ination devices on which media resides, such as Media Servers and archive devices. Each type of device has its own MDI. The MDI software component is hosted on a MDI server, rather than being hosted on the same machine that it manages. In the case of the Transfer system, t he Transf er serve r takes the r ole of MDI s erver for all MDIs ex cept the News MDI. For the News MDI, the DSM must be the MDI serv er.
As you configure your Aurora Transfer system you must create and enter logical names for the MDIs that pro vid e Aurora Trans fe r funct ionalit y. Thes e logic al names provide a mapping of the func tionality of the standard Aurora Transf er services to the specific machines in your particular system. For this reason you should take care to create logical names that are easy to identify and interpret as they appear in the various configuration pages.
It is especiall y importa nt that you dist inguish between t he logic al name o f a MDI an d the hostname of the machine to which the software component relates. In the conventions suggested in this manual, machine names are lower case and logical names are upper case to make this distinction.
Also refer to “Ports and services mapping” on page 20. The following table demonstrates how logical names for MDIs are mapped to the
machines of your Aurora Transfer system and provides a suggested naming convention.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Aurora Transfer System

Ports and services mapping

Aurora Transfer soft ware components run as Windows ser vices, which c ommunicate over designated ports. As you configure the Aurora Transfer system, you must correctly designate port numbers. Topics later in this manual provide specific instructions for entering port numbers on each configuration page. These are the default port numbers. Do not modify or create your own convention for port usage without consulting Grass Valley. Designate ports as specified in the following table:
Services Port Comments

20 Aurora Transfe r Instruction Manual September 11, 2006

Configure network

Recommended networking strategies are explained in the following sections. Strategies that use host table files are also com patible with the Tran sfer system. Refer to “Host table files” on page 21.

Set up IP addresses and name resolution

It is recommended that Aurora Transfer systems use Micr osoft DNS for name resolution and hav e a DNS server. The do main contro ller should p rovide this s ervice. If the Aurora Transfer system does not have a domain controller, another machine may be configured to provi de this service. Pr operly configuring all network interface s is extremely important to make DNS name resolution work correctly.
The network should be set to use dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) to assign network IP addresses. All interfaces on this network should be configured to register connections with DNS automatically.
If necessary, the Transfer system will work with a network set up with host tables. Refer to “Host table files” later in this sect ion. Howe ver , you must use c are t o ensure that all host tables are identical and names are resolved correctly for all devices.
Configure network

Configure network settings

Use the instructions in this s ectio n to confi gure networ k machines, whi ch includ e the following types:
• Aurora Transfer Server
• Transfer client PCs You will need the following information from the customer's IT department:
• Verify that the subnet mask for the Aurora Transfer machines should be
255.255.255.0.
• Extra IP ad dresses for fu ture growth
• The IP address for the DNS server and alternate
• The name of the Domain connected (i.e. mycorp.com) if used
• The IP address for the WINS server if applicable The Transfer system is similar to ContentShare, on the Production network only.

Host table files

If you can not use Microsoft DNS for name resolution, you can use host table files. These files must be on all network machines. Find host table files at
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc
The following is an example of host table entries. Not sho wn are entries for Profile systems, UIMs, and other machines on the network. Refer to the documentation for these other m achines for h ost table req uirements.

Host table tips:
• The Transfer Server IP address need to be reso lved using the Cli ent side IP address via DNS lookup, not the host table.
• If the server has a canonical name, the host table for any machine that runs MDIs that are subscrib ed to by the se rver must mat ch case for t he enti re canoni cal name. E.g., if the server ’s canonical n ame is “TRANSFER-SERVER1.myco rp.net”, the n the host table entry in the MDI server(s ) must match; if the entry is “TRANSFER-SERVER1.MYCORP.NET”, then it will not work. Pinging will not show the problem. The probl em doe sn’ t s how up until the MDIs attempt to notify the server.

Refer to “Ports and services mapping” on page 20 for a list of services.

Accessing system configuration pages

Use Internet Explorer to browse to port 280 of a machine to access its configuration pages.
You must have administrator permissions on the machine. For example, to log on to the configuratio n pages on the Aurora Transfer se rver with administrator permissions, use the following:
Username: root-transfer-svr\nbadmin Password: You can access the Transfer Server configuration pages as follows:
• From the local computer, use the following URL:
• From a network-connected computer, in the URL replace “localhost” with the
network name of the computer hosting the configuration pages. For example, to access the configuration pages on a server named iron-transfer-svr, use the following URLs:
You must have network access to open configuration pages.
