Terminology

This section provides definitions for Juniper Networks and industry-standard terms that may be unfamiliar to the reader.

Edge cache: An appliance placed between the Internet and the Web server that caches

content (like Java Script, CSS, images, and so forth) and delivers them for the server, freeing up the Web server for other processes. Media Flow Controller as an edge cache is effectively a “reverse proxy” that provides these benefits: reduces the load (network and CPU) on an origin server by servicing previously retrieved content and enhances the user experience due to a decrease in latency.

NIC Network Interface Controller/Card. Origin Library The source of media content.

Use the interface command to

screen elements such as page titles, and option labels.

• “Known Installation Issues” on page 23

Obtaining Software for Installation

There are two ways you can obtain the Media Flow Controller or Media Flow Manager software for installation on generic x86 64-bit hardware from Juniper Networks Support:

• Juniper Networks ships you a CD or USB drive with the software; you can also download

an ISO image and burn a CD. This guide describes how to install from CD or USB drive.

• You use PXE (preboot execution environment) to obtain the software image. You must

have a PXE server configured in order to use the PXE installation option and a Web server to serve the image. How to configure your PXE server for Media Flow Controller or Media Flow Manager installation and how to install with PXE is described in this guide.

Important! This guide describes Media Flow Controller and Media Flow Manager installation

on generic x86 64-bit hardware. This guide is not intended for use with Juniper Networks Media Flow Engine appliances on which the software is pre-installed.

CHAPTER 2 Getting Started Media Flow Controller and Media Flow Manager Installation Guide

Pre-installation Planning

Before installing Juniper Networks software, ensure that your hardware meets these conditions:

• Running optimally (all hardware diagnostics have been run and passed successfully).

• All data is backed up; Juniper Networks Media Flow Controller completely format all disks

when installed.

• Top-quality cables are used. We recommend CAT5e or CAT6 for GbE, CAT6A for 10GbE,

or Fiber LL cables. However, CAT5 cables can be used for GbE if the cable lengths are expected to be short ( for example, 5 feet or less). A poorly functioning cable can inhibit performance.

• NIC is present.

• Console server / terminal server are available (recommended).

Tip! Go to NTP Servers Web

You also need to know:

• Which physical ports you want named eth0 and eth1. This is important because eth0

(management interface) and eth1 (recommended origin-fetch interface) are usually NOT

automatically assigned to the optimal ports (non-traffic bearing); instead, you must make this assignment as part of the installation.

to find public NTP servers.

• Hostnames/IP addresses (including but not limited to, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway) for

traffic and management ports.

• Hostnames/IP addresses for external servers such as origin servers/libraries, DNS, NTP,

logging, or storage servers.

Important! Media Flow Controller and Media Flow Manager do not support RAID arrays.

Release Installation Guidelines

This section provides information on the way Media Flow Controller works with Host Bus Adapters/Hard Drive Controllers.

Host Bus Adapter / Hard Drive Controller

Media Flow Controller does not natively support RAID of any kind on any hard drive or combination of hard drives. We recommend that ALL hard disk drives (HDDs) are configured

in "Just a Bunch of Disks" (JBOD) mode with write-cache disabled, regardless of controller

battery.

At initialization, Media Flow Controller attempts to uniquely identify each HDD by its

manufacturer-given serial number. This allows caches, the physical disks to which Media Flow

Controller writes cached data, to be removed and reinserted into a system without data loss or the need to re-initialize. Also, because Media Flow Controller is able to uniquely identify caches, they may be transferred to to another Media Flow Controller (removed from one physical server and inserted in another running the same version of Media Flow Controller). This lets you hot-swap caches for either new HDDs (provided the controller supports hot-swap) or existing caches—without interrupting content delivery or restarting Media Flow Controller.

Page 15

Media Flow Controller and Media Flow Manager Installation Guide CHAPTER 2 Getting Started

Media Flow Controller also attempts to identify the HDD type: SAS, SATA, or SSD. With this

information, Media Flow Controller assigns a cache tier to each cache. Cache tiers are the

way Media Flow Controller divides the storage of “hot content” (frequently accessed) from “long-tail content” (infrequently accessed).

Important! With RAID enabled, Media Flow Controller cannot determine HDD’s serial

number, or type.

Choosing a Controller for Your Media Flow Controller

Media Flow Controller has been tested with, and supports, a wide range of Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) including those made by Intel™, 3ware™, LSI™, Adaptec™ as well as OEM (original equipment manufacturer) cards by IBM™, HP™ (SmartArray™), Dell™ (Perc™), Sun™, and the controllers typically found in SuperMicro™ based systems.

The best controller for your Media Flow Controller depends upon the number and type of HDDs in your system, as well as factors such as connecting to an external JBOD. Generically, Media Flow Controller is most compatible with HBAs that support standard SCSI passthrough, assign standard Linux device names (that is, /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, and so forth), and allow arrays of one physical disk to be created.

Configuring the Controller and Arrays for Optimum Performance

For controllers that require arrays or virtual disks to be defined before physical disks are presented to the BIOS, and so to the operating system, and be set as bootable, you must configure the Controller BIOS to prepare the hard drives to be caches. To do this:

• Set up each physical HDD as an individual array or virtual disk (sometimes you must set

up a RAID 0 of one drive).

• Disable write-cache.

For controllers that do not require arrays or virtual disks to be defined (that is, LSI 1068e with Software RAID disabled), no explicit configuration is required.

Accessing the Console Port

We recommend you use the Serial Console for first-time access and installation. To access the console port:

• Set your initial console terminal settings to match the default console settings on Juniper

Networks Media Flow Controller:

• 9600 baud rate

•No parity

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit

• No flow control (console port only)

Connecting and Logging In

You can connect to the command line interface (CLI) with SSH, Telnet (once enabled, Telnet is disabled by default), or serial console using the IP address of your Media Flow Controller or Media Flow Manager. The appliance responds with a login prompt.

To connect to the CLI:

1. Enter admin as the user; there is no default password.

2. After you have connected, you must enter enable (for Enable mode) and then configure terminal (for Configure mode) in order to begin configuring Media Flow ControllerMedia

Flow Manager.

Likewise, you can log in to the Web-based Management Console by entering the IP address

and port 8080 in a browser window and using admin as the login name.

• “Accessing the Console Port” on page 15.

Changing Ethernet Name Assignments After Installation

When installing Media Flow Controller 2.0 or earlier software to restore or upgrade it, if you do

not assign the correct port to eth0 during installation, your licenses may not work because the

2.0 and earlier licenses are tied to the MAC address of the management interface (eth0). The

installation process gives you several Ethernet Naming options to configure the eth0 port and to verify that all the interfaces are named correctly; however, if you misconfigure eth0 during

installation, and you choose to not do a re-installation to correct the naming, there is a workaround using the CLI.

Note! The CLI to set eth0 automatically renames some or all of the other interfaces as well.

Follow these steps using the CLI to name the interface to use as eth0.

1. Enter enable on one line, and configure terminal on the next to get to Configure mode.

2. Enter show license to see what MAC address your licenses are tied to.

3. Enter show interface to see what interfaces the system discovered and determine which one you want for eth0.

4. Use management interface <MAC_address> to name the interface with the correct MAC address to be eth0. All interfaces are re-named.

5. Reboot the machine using reload.

6. After the machine is rebooted, use show interface again to determine what the new

Ethernet name assignments are.

7. Use show license to confirm that your licenses are working.

Upgrading and Rebooting

Media Flow Controller upgrades maintain saved data and configurations. However, if you reinstall the software (as opposed to upgrade only), you must save your current configuration to another system if you want to keep it, because the installation process deletes all the information on the root drive where the configuration data is stored.

This topic includes the following tasks:

• “Saving and Applying a Configuration” on page 19

• “Upgrading (Web Interface)” on page 20

• “Upgrading (CLI)” on page 20

• “Rebooting” on page 22

• “Managing Configuration Files” on page 23

Saving and Applying a Configuration

You can save a binary file with all current configuration data that can be used to restore the system configuration. You can also reset custom configurations to their factory defaults, upload a saved configuration, and import a configuration from another Media Flow Controller.

To save and apply a configuration using the CLI:

1. From Enable or Configure mode, save a configuration to a file; use no-switch to leave the current configuration active. Use show configuration files to see the saved file name.

configuration write to <file_name> no-switch

2. Use SCP to send the just-saved configuration file to a server (must have SCP installed);

configuration upload <file_name> <URL>

3. When you are ready, fetch the saved configuration file.

configuration fetch <URL>/<file_name>

4. Verify that you have the saved configuration file.

show configuration files

5. Switch to the saved configuration.

configuration switch-to <file_name>

Example:

test-vos (config) # configuration write to 04_01_09 no-switch test-vos (config) # show configuration files 04_01_09 initial (active) initial.bak test-vos (config) # configuration upload 04_01_09 scp://joe@sv05/home/joe Password: *******

6. Merge the common settings from a given configuration file to the active configuration file.

configuration merge <file_name>

7. Revert the active configuration to either the factory defaults or the last saved

configuration. Use keep-basic to preserve licenses and SSH host keys, use keep- connect to preserve anything necessary to maintain network connectivity to the system:

interfaces, routes, and ARP; either or both may be used.

configuration revert {factory | saved} [keep-basic] [keep-connect]

You can use the Web interface, also referred to as the Management Console, System Config > Config Mgmt page to save a current configuration to a binary file and download it to another

system. Later you can use the same page to upload the file and make it active.

Upgrading (Web Interface)

When upgrades are available, Juniper Networks will broadcast the upgrade URL to use in this procedure. The upgrade preserves the current, saved, configurations; however, you may still want to save the current configuration to a file on another system by following the previous procedure, “

Saving and Applying a Configuration” on page 19.

You can use the Web-based Management Console, System Config > Upgrade page to

easily upgrade your system if you have an install image URL or have obtained the image and

installed it locally. Important! After upgrading to the image using the System Config > Upgrade page, you must go to the System Config > Reboot page and reboot your system

for the upgrade to complete.

To install Media Flow Controller or Media Flow Manager, which means removing all the data on the root drive for a fresh install, see the following installation chapters as appropriate.

Known Installation Issues

Installation on Dell Equipment

• During installation of Media Flow Controller Release 2.0.2 onto a Dell computer, the Host

ID is not set properly. If a license, or licenses, for Release 2.0.2 are generated using that Dell Host ID, and you install a later release, those licenses fail. New licenses using the new Host ID are required.

This situation does NOT apply to upgrades, only to re-installations.

When installing any release post-Release 2.0.2 on a Dell machine that does not have Release 2.0.2 installed, the Host ID gets set properly.

CHAPTER 3 Installing Media Flow Controller with a CD or USB Media Flow Controller and Media Flow Manager

CHAPTER 3

Installing Media Flow Controller with a CD or USB

This chapter describes installing Media Flow Controller on hardware other than Juniper Networks VXA Series hardware.

• “Before Installing Media Flow Controller with a CD or USB” on page 25

• “Creating CDs” on page 25

• “Ethernet Naming Options” on page 25

• “Installing Media Flow Controller Software—CD or USB” on page 31

• “Setting Up Basic System Connectivity” on page 33

Before Installing Media Flow Controller with a CD or USB

You can request a CD or a USB drive with the software, or download an ISO image and burn your own CD, and install using it. You cannot create your own USB drive.

Before you install Media Flow Controller with CD or USB:

• Obtain the Media Flow Controller installation image from Juniper Networks Support. See

“

Requesting Technical Support” on page 11.

• Review “ Pre-installation Planning”14 for important information.

Tip! If you received a Media Flow Controller installation CD or USB drive, skip the next section

and go directly to Installing Media Flow Controller Software—CD or USB

Important! This guide describes Media Flow Controller and Media Flow Manager installation

on generic x86 64-bit hardware. This guide is not intended for use with Juniper Networks Media Flow Engine appliances on which the software is pre-installed.

Creating CDs

There are many applications for creating CDs. For example, to burn the ISO image onto a CD, in Linux, you can use a command like this:

sudo cdrecord -v -tao dev=/dev/cdrom <filename>

Ethernet Naming Options

You need to know what naming you want for all the ports before beginning installation because most installations require manual naming of the Ethernet ports (also known as interfaces or devices). This is because the default naming order is often confusing or not

Page 26

CHAPTER 3 Installing Media Flow Controller with a CD or USB Media Flow Controller and Media Flow Manager

completely useful, based on the internal PCI hardware address that each device uses. The

most important port to name is eth0, because that port name must be used to access the

Web-based Management Console, and for SSH to get to the command line interface (CLI). Juniper Networks suggests that the built-in ports use single digits, and for each add-in card, use numbers that start with multiples of ten. For example, if the first add-in card is a 4-port card, then use 10, 11, 12 and 13, and if the second add-in card is a 2-port card, then use 20 and 21.

After the first phase of the installation is done, the installation procedure offers four options to help you correctly identify and name your Ethernet interfaces:

• “Flash Ethernet Port LEDs, Ethernet Naming Option 3” on page 26

• “Configure Ethernet Names Interactively, Ethernet Naming Option 4” on page 27

• “Specify Devices to Use For eth0 and eth1, Ethernet Naming Option 5” on page 29

• “Reset Ethernet Device Naming Back to Default, Ethernet Naming Option 6” on page 31

Important! Media Flow Controller licenses are tied to either the Host ID of the system or the

MAC address of the eth0 interface. If you already have a license that is tied to a MAC address, ensure that the correct interface is made eth0, or your license will not work.

Flash Ethernet Port LEDs, Ethernet Naming Option 3

If you are at the machine console, you can see which ports have been assigned what by

pressing 3 (Flash Ethernet Port LEDs) during the installation. Option 3 does not provide a way to make the assignments; to make the assignments you need

to use option 4 or option 5.

Note! The flashing of the port LEDs works on most Ethernet devices; if there is a problem, a

warning is displayed.

Example:

Enter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 : 3 Flashing eth leds in this order:

0000:01:00.0,00:15:17:8A:49:90,eth0 0000:01:00.1,00:15:17:8A:49:91,eth1 0000:04:00.0,00:13:72:3C:33:56,eth10 0000:05:00.0,00:13:72:3C:33:57,eth11 Flashing each for 3 seconds, then a 6 second pause, for 3 times Loop 1 Flashing eth0 Flashing eth1 Flashing eth10 Flashing eth11 Pause Loop 2 Flashing eth0 Flashing eth1 Flashing eth10 Flashing eth11 Pause Enter 1 to Reboot to complete the installation.

Configure Ethernet Names Interactively, Ethernet Naming Option 4

You can see which ports have been assigned what, and make custom assignments, by

pressing 4 (Configure Ethernet Names Interactively) during the installation.

This example shows a machine with a 2-port add-in card that has lower PCI addresses, assigned by default, than the built-in ports. The default assignments use the add-in card but the desired assignments are the built-in ports: the third default (eth10) device for eth0; and the fourth default (eth11) device for eth1. This example shows the assigning of the interfaces.

When "least-ports" is specified, the first NIC card with the least number of ports is used for eth0 (and eth1 if there are two or more ports on that NIC).

When "most-ports" is specified, the first NIC card with the most number of ports is used for eth0 and eth1.

Setting Up Basic System Connectivity

After Media Flow Controller is installed, follow these steps to set basic network connectivity. At

a minimum, you must assign eth0 an IP address; then the appliance can be remotely

accessed and configured.

To set up basic system connectivity on Media Flow Controller:

1. Log in as admin There is no default password.

2. Enter configuration mode with these commands:

enable configure terminal

3. Set the IP address, hostname, gateway, DNS server, and a domain list (to resolve unqualified hostnames). Install licenses, if you have the license keys. Save the settings when you are finished.

interface eth0 ip address <management_port_IP_address> <netmask> hostname <hostname_for_machine> ip default-gateway <gateway_server_IP_address> ip name-server <DNS_server_IP_address> ip domain-list <domain_name_for_resolving_hostnames> ... ntp server <NTP_server_IP_address> license install <license_key>

configuration write

4. As you have just changed the network information for your system, you must re-associate

Media Flow Controller with the interfaces. Either reboot (reload command) or enter this

command:

service restart mod_delivery

5. Display the software version. If you have installed licenses, check those, too.

show version show license

6. Sanity check: From another machine attempt to ping each address, and open an SSH session to the server as Admin.

To complete connecting the machine to your network, plug in the traffic ports Eth2, 3, 4, 5, and

configure with static IP addresses, or skip this step and hand off further configurations to your

system administrator. Table 3, “

page 17 shows a typical Media Flow Controller configuration.

You are now ready to begin configuring Juniper Networks Media Flow Controller or Media

Flow Manager. See the Juniper Networks Media Flow Controller Administrator’s Guide and

CLI Command Reference or Media Flow Manager Administrator’s Guide and CLI Command Reference.

Note! If an unexpected interface is assigned eth0, your installed licenses will be invalid

because they rely on the MAC address of an assigned interface and that interface changed. If that is the case, you need to manually assign the interfaces; see “

Assignments After Installation” on page 18 for details.

• “Before Installing Media Flow Controller with PXE” on page 35

• “Setting Up PXE Overview” on page 35

• “Installing Media Flow Controller Software from the Network—PXE” on page 38

PXE Overview

PXE is a way for a machine without an operating system to find a server, download an image from it, and boot. PXE works by the BIOS first making a DHCP request for network information for itself as well as the IP of a TFTP server and the name of an image. It then pulls down from the TFTP server a mini-image that is interactive over the console and serial console of the machine, and allows selection of the real image to boot. The real image, in the Media Flow Controller case, consists of the boot floppy kernel and rootfloppy file system image.

Important! This guide describes Media Flow Controller and Media Flow Manager installation

on generic x86 64-bit hardware. This guide is not intended for use with Juniper Networks Media Flow Engine appliances on which the software is pre-installed.

Before Installing Media Flow Controller with PXE

Before you install Media Flow Controller with PXE:

• Obtain the Media Flow Controller PXE installation package from Juniper Networks

Support. See “

• Review “ Pre-installation Planning”14 for important information.

• Set up your PXE installation configuration file and install the image files appropriately. See

Setting Up PXE Overview” on page 35.

“

Requesting Technical Support” on page 11.

Setting Up PXE Overview

There are two parts to setting up PXE for installing Media Flow Controller, configuring the PXE configuration file, and setting up the software images. When setting up your PXE server, you have several installation options that you can build into the PXE install menu.

• “Setting Up Your PXE Server” on page 36

• “Setting Up the PXE Installation Software” on page 36

• “PXE Installation Options” on page 37

Page 36

CHAPTER 4 Installing Media Flow Controller with PXE Media Flow Controller and Media Flow Manager Installation

Setting Up Your PXE Server

Set up your PXE server configuration file with required information and, optionally, installation options described in “

To set up your PXE server for Media Flow Controller installation:

1. Put these two PXE install package files, both have the same <unique ID> string, into your

PXE server tree:

rootflop-mfc-<uniqueID>.img vmlinuz-bootflop-mfc-<uniqueID>

2. Edit the PXE server configuration file on your system to make these available for booting

from. For example, if the uniqueID string in the Media Flow Controller filenames is 2.1.0, and you place them in a directory named mfc-install, and you want to have the PXE

menu for using them be “mfc-install-2.1.0,” then, on a Redhat Linux PXE server, edit

pxelinux.cfg/default to add a “LABEL” line, a “kernel” line, an “append initrd” line, and an

"IPAPPEND" line, as shown. You can add installation options on the "append initrd" line; see “

PXE Installation Options” on page 37 for details. Example:

LABEL mfc-install-2.1.0 kernel mfc-install/vmlinuz-bootflop-mfc-2.1.0 append initrd=mfc-install/rootflop-mfc-2.1.0.img panic=10 noexec=off

console=ttyS0,9600n8 console=tty0 ramdisk_size=16384 rw installopt=accept-eula

IPAPPEND 3

PXE Installation Options” on page 37.

Note! There are optional parameters that can be added to the "append initrd" line. See

“

PXE Installation Options” on page 37 for details.

3. Edit the bootmsg.txt file to add a line that references the label you used:

Using the values given, this would be:

mfc-install-2.1.0 Juniper Networks Media Flow Controller installation

Setting Up the PXE Installation Software

The described PXE server setup makes it possible to boot up an environment that allows you to install from the actual Media Flow Controller distribution files. There are two distribution files

in the Media Flow Controller PXE installation package, a matched pair; one is the image*.img file and the other is the manufacture*.gz file; the image*.img file is the same file you use for

upgrades. You need to put these both in a directory on a Web server so the machine being installed can download the files via HTTP. It is best to put the two files in the same directory

where you put the rootflop and vmlinuz files (see Step 2 of “

page 36).

Sample filenames for these are:

image-mfc-2.1.0-rc_5_10705_180.img manufacture-mfc-2.1.0-rc_5_10705_180.tgz

For example, if the "append initrd" parameter you configured in the PXE configuration file, is

initrd=pxe/mfc-install/rootflop-mfc-2.1.0.img, then the HTTP URL where the image and

manufacture files are located should be:

http://<pxe_server_name>/pxe/mfc-install/

Setting Up Your PXE Server” on

Page 37

Media Flow Controller and Media Flow Manager Installation Guide CHAPTER 4 Installing Media Flow Controller with

If so configured, the Media Flow Controller installation, by default, downloads the installation files from that location.

If for some reason the HTTP server on your PXE server cannot be set up for this URL to work,

the installfrom parameter must be added to the "append initrd" line in the PXE configuration file. Use this to specify the HTTP URL from which the image*.img and manufacture*.gz files

are to be downloaded. If the URL is on the same host as the PXE server, you can omit the

leading http://<hostname> from the URL. Examples:

installfrom=http://10.200.1.53/archive/mfc/mfc-2.1.0 installfrom=archive/mfc/mfc-2.1.0

To set up the PXE installation software files:

1. Put these two files into a directory by themselves, and give the directory a name reflecting

the filenames. For this example, the directory name could be mfc-2.1.0-rc_5.

2. Rename the two files to just image.img and manufacture.tgz. This makes it easier later

when you have to specify the URL where these files are. When the files have these names, you only need to specify the URL of the directory.

PXE Installation Options

PXE installation options can be added on the "append initrd" line that you add to the PXE

configuration file, using the keywords installopt and installfrom, when you set up your PXE server for PXE installs. This is described in Step 2 of “

page 36.

Use the installopt=<option> setting to specify one or more installation options, separated by

commas; no spaces are allowed. See Table 4 on page 37

Use installfrom=<URL> to specify the URL of the Media Flow Controller image directory, or

file, to install from. This is not needed

if you set up your HTTP server on your PXE server to make the directory with the Media Flow Controller install image file accessible via the directory specified on the "append initrd" line (described in “

Setting Up the PXE Installation Software”

on page 36). With the installfrom option, you specify the entire URL starting with "http://" of

the install image file; if the HTTP server uses the same IP address as the PXE server, you can omit the "http://<IP_address>" part of the URL.

For example, to bypass the EULA and the ETH naming prompts, use these commands in the PXE configuration file on the "append initrd" line:

installopt=accept-eula,ethsetup=pxe,auto-eth

Setting Up Your PXE Server” on

for a description of the options.

Set init-cache or keep-cache to bypass options 1 and 2 in step 6 of the Media Flow Controller installation procedure. Set init-cache

for a first-time installation or if you want to empty the cache. Set

keep-cache for a restoration installation of Media Flow Controller;

in some situations some or all of the cached data still might not be

preserved. When set, the options to Install or Restore in step 6 of

the Media Flow Controller installation are omitted.

Installing Media Flow Controller Software from the Network—PXE

Before you begin:

• See “Before Installing Media Flow Controller with PXE” on page 35.

• Plug your machine into a serial console, with flow control disabled, and configure the

BIOS to PXE boot. We recommend connecting the console to the terminal server and opening a TELNET session for this procedure.

• Decide and implement the installation options that you want; these are described in “PXE

Installation Options” on page 37. This procedure assumes that NONE of the installation

options have been configured in the PXE installation configuration file; however, the PXE installation configuration file must still be modified as described in “

Server” on page 36 for the installation to work.

To install Media Flow Controller with PXE:

1. Reboot the machine in PXE boot mode. The PXE boot prompt is displayed.

2. Type in the label that you configured in the PXE server for the Media Flow Controller

installation boot files (for example mfc-2.1.0) and press Enter. If installing from a serial console, you are prompted to log in as root first.

CHAPTER 5 Installing Media Flow Manager Media Flow Controller and Media Flow Manager Installation Guide

Before Installing Media Flow Manager

The procedure for installing Media Flow Manager is very different from that for installing Media Flow Controller. However, much of the information in the previous chapters of this book apply, with the exception of the cache directives and Ethernet naming guidelines (Media Flow Manager does not handle traffic, it is only a management device). If necessary, review this information:

• “Pre-installation Planning” on page 14

• “Upgrading and Rebooting” on page 19

• “Creating CDs” on page 25

• “Before Installing Media Flow Controller with PXE” on page 35.

Installing Media Flow Manager—CD-ROM/USB

When the Media Flow Manager software is installed, it reformats the root drive in the system. While the software is installing, at times no progress indicator is given while formatting the drives. Please be patient.

1. Put in the CD-ROM, or plug in the USB drive, and reboot the machine from the installation media.

2. Type the following command to get the Media Flow Manager image file installed. Note! If

using PXE, follow this command with the URL of the image file.
