This guide gives you the basic procedural information necessary to operate the Oracle Video Server (OVS). Before you begin, read the Oracle Video Server System Tour for a general overview of the OVS.
This preface discusses:
This guide is divided into the following chapters:
Chapter 1, "Tasks of the Oracle Video Server Administrator" outlines the tasks required to administer the OVS.
Chapter 2, "System Planning for the Oracle Video Server" covers the decisions you must make before you begin an installation of the OVS.
Chapter 3, "Operating the Oracle Video Server" describes the start-up procedures for the OVS.
Chapter 4, "Preparing and Loading Content" describes the operations needed to prepare multimedia content for playback.
Chapter 5, "Oracle Media Data Store Tasks and Procedures" explains how to maintain and expand the Oracle Media Data Store (MDS), the OVS's real-time disk system.
Chapter 6, "Monitoring the Oracle Video Server" describes how to run utilities and examine log files to monitor the OVS software.
Chapter 7, "Oracle Video Server Components Reference" describes the start-up components and gives examples of their use when using the OVS in the corporate LAN environment.
Information in this guide generally applies to all UNIX systems unless a specific attribution in given. Details particular to one system are noted in the text of this guide.
Table 1 defines the typographical conventions used in this guide.
This guide shows example commands in this font:
% mdscopy /mds/video/oracle1.mpg /mds/online_video/oracle1.mpg
For an example command that is longer than a single line, a backslash (\) appears at the end of a line to indicate the command continues on the next:
% mdstar -c -b 128 -f /gfs/dev/scsi/rst053 \ /mds/video/oracle2.mpg /mds/video_archive/oracle2.mpg
Do not enter the backslash on your command line. It is used only here as a typographic convention.
This guide uses commands from UNIX C-shell. In the text of this guide, UNIX keywords appear in boldface and UNIX parameters appear in italics.
Refer to the Oracle Video Server Documentation Roadmap for a description of all OVS documentation.
The OVS documentation includes online documentation in the form of HTML and Adobe Acrobat pdf files. For information on installing and viewing the OVS online documentation, refer to the section Installing the Online Documentation of Chapter 5, "Oracle Video Server Post-Installation Tasks" in the Oracle Video Server Installation Guide for your server platform.
This document is for database administrators and others responsible for installing Oracle products on UNIX operating systems. While command examples are provided, this document does not attempt to teach Oracle or UNIX system administration.
