Running the Configuration Assistant
A ContentBridge 1000B or High Bandwidth ContentBridge in the same subnet as the
Harmonic MediaGrid cluster (Public VLAN) can be configured in Active Directory
authentication mode with the Configuration Assistant.
Notes on Active Directory Configuration for ContentBridges:
If you wish to join a ContentBridge 1000B or High Bandwidth ContentBridge to a Windows 2003
or Windows 2008 Active Directory domain using the configuration assistant, please note the
following:
If you wish to join a ContentBridge 1000B to an Active Directory domain, you must do so
when configuring the Harmonic MediaGrid system with the configuration assistant. The High
Bandwidth ContentBridge can be joined to an Active Directory domain either while
configuring the Harmonic MediaGrid system or separately by following the steps in Joining a
High Bandwidth ContentBridge to an Active Directory Domain Using the Configuration Assistant or Joining
a High Bandwidth ContentBridge to an LDAP Domain.
When completing the configuration assistant, you must join the ContentDirectors to the
Active Directory domain in order to join the ContentBridge 1000B or High Bandwidth
ContentBridge.
User names and passwords are not stored in clear text on the ContentBridge 1000B or High
Bandwidth ContentBridge
When a ContentBridge 1000B or High Bandwidth ContentBridge is configured for Active
Directory, “CB” mount points that provide access for individual users are NOT supported.
Notes on RAID set and File System Creation
If, for some reason, the RAID set creation utility or file system creation utility times out while
attempting to create a RAID set or file system, contact Technical Support for assistance.
Note that the configuration assistant refers to a 2+1 RAID configuration as “Bandwidth
Optimized,” and the 6+2 or 5+2 RAID configurations as “Capacity Optimized.”
Once the configuration assistant is complete, continue to the following section to verify startup
processes.
Verifying Startup Processes
1. If not already, log on to the ContentDirector using the following credentials:
User name: ovnuser
Password: OVN@SvCaUsa
2. Type the following at the command prompt:
sudo service omcld status
3. Enter the following password once again: OVN@SvCaUsa
The processes have started if you see the following:
mdsstartup (pid 22950) is running...
oujfh is stopped
ousd is stopped
ssmd is stopped
mdscore is stopped
trapmond (pid 22947) is running...
4. Note that “pid” is a process ID number, which will vary. A few seconds after cluster
initialization, the other processes (oujf, ouse, ssmd, mdscore) will start.
