Chapter 4
Connection Service Utilities

The connection service utilities perform operations on downstream managers, upstream managers, client devices, and circuits on the Oracle Video Server system. These utilities include:

mnocskill

This utility disconnects clients from the Oracle Video Server.

Syntax

mnocskill client-physical-address ...

where:

client-physical-address

identifies one or more client devices to be disconnected from the Oracle Video Server.

Usage Notes

You may want to disconnect client devices if your Oracle Video Server system is running out of resources or if you plan to shut down the Oracle Video Server. This utility disconnects a client device regardless of the operations it is currently performing, such as running an application or watching a movie.

Example

This example disconnects the client device with the physical address dUDP:144.25.101.147:5000:

% mnocskill dUDP:144.25.101.147:5000

mnocslist

This utility lists the Connection service connection table.

Note

Upstream managers are not used in a corporate LAN environment, although the OCS table can refer to upstream addresses.

Syntax

mnocslist [-U] [-a| -f | -q ] [ -d | -m | -u | -l | -c | -n]

where:

-a

shows allocated downstream (or upstream) managers only.

-c

sorts the listing by the client's physical address.

-d

sorts listing by downstream manager's physical address.

-f

shows free downstream (or upstream) managers only.

-l

sorts the listing by the upstream manager's Oracle Media Net address.

-m

sorts the listing by the downstream manager's Oracle Media Net address.

-n

sorts the listing by the client's Oracle Media Net address.

-U

shows upstream managers, rather than downstream managers.

-q

shows quarantined downstream managers only.

-u

sorts the listing by the upstream manager's physical address.

Examples

Example 1

This example lists all upstream manager physical addresses:

%  mnocslist  -U

USM  PHYS  ADDR    USM  MN  ADDR    CLIENT  PHYS  ADDR    CLIENT  MN  ADDR  

-------------    -----------    ----------------    --------------

USM:2.2                1.0.14.1                                              1.0.38.0

6  downstream  managers  found

The output shows 2 upstream manager packet pumps with the Media Net addresses 1.0.12.1 and 1.0.14.1. The client device with the physical address ATM:fa0:0.130 is connected to the Oracle Video Server through the second thread of the first packet pump, USM 1.2, where the first number is the upstream manager packet pump and the second number is the thread number for that pump.

Note

In a corporate LAN environment, the output for upstream managers would be "none found."

Example 2

This example lists all downstream managers:

5 downstream managers found

The output lists five downstream managers, two of which are active.

Example 3

This example lists quarantined downstream managers:

% mnocslist -q

1 quarantined downstream managers found 

mnocsquar

This utility performs these functions:

• quarantines downstream managers, preventing the connection service from assigning them to client devices connecting to the Oracle Video Server
• rehabilitates a quarantined downstream manager, allowing the connection service to assign it to a client device

If you are running the Oracle Video Server with the network provisioning service, you cannot use mnocsquar to quarantine downstream managers.

Note

This utility is used only in an X25 environment.

Syntax

mnocsquar [ -q | -r ] downstream-physical-address...

where:

-r

rehabilitates the specified downstream managers.

-q

quarantines the specified downstream managers (default).

If you omit -q and -r, mnocsquar quarantines the specified downstream
managers.

downstream-physical-address

identifies one or more downstream managers to be
quarantined or rehabilitated.

Usage Notes

You may want to quarantine a downstream manager in the event of hardware failure. After addressing the hardware failure, you can rehabilitate the downstream manager.

Note

This utility does not return an error message if you try to quarantine a downstream manager that is already quarantined or if you try to rehabilitate a downstream manager that is not quarantined.

Examples

Example 1

This example quarantines the downstream manager with the physical address nDSM7035551221:

% mnocsquar -q nDSM7035551221 

nDSM7035551221 Quarantined.

Example 2

This example rehabilitates the downstream manager with the physical address nDSM7035551221:

% mnocsquar -r nDSM7035551221 

nDSM7035551221 Rehabilitated.
