Running the Configuration Assistant
The configuration assistant creates a directory structure in the /omneon/sharedsys/configfiles
directory with the configuration parameters for all of the ContentDirectors.
The configuration script asks a series of questions requiring information specific to the customer
site. Use the information from the Harmonic MediaGrid Installation Planning Guide to complete
the answers. Note that the assistant will display suggested responses in brackets. During the
assistant, you can use the up or down arrow keys to tab to previous responses.
Follow these steps to run the configuration assistant.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the completed Harmonic MediaGrid Installation Planning Guide is available
before continuing. Also make sure you have reviewed the information in Getting Started with the Harmonic
MediaGrid Configuration Assistant before continuing.
To run the configuration assistant:
1. Connect a monitor and keyboard to the first ContentDirector in your Harmonic MediaGrid
system.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to run the Configuration Assistant remotely (for example, via SSH). You must
run the Configuration Assistant directly from the ContentDirector
