Cisco Cisco TV Streamer Application

This section includes the following topics:

For a CDS for an ISA environment or RTSP environment, see the software installation procedures 
included in the Cisco Content Delivery Engine 110 Hardware Installation Guide and the Cisco Content 
Delivery Engine 205/220/420 Hardware Installation Guide. See the 

 for information on accessing these documents. 

It is a good idea to read through this entire section before performing the install or upgrade procedure.

If the CDS does not have 2.1.4 as the preferred release to deploy, before starting this procedure download 
the TV CDS 2.1.4 software and transfer it to the CDS. Enter the following command to verify the system 
version:
uname -r

If the response to this command has “cdstv.2.1.4.b30” in the output, the system has the TV CDS 2.1.4 
software. If 2.1.4 is not on the system, see the 

 to obtain the TV CDS software needed for your deployment.

Release 2.1 introduces two features that require additional information when configuring the CDS 
servers and the CDSM:

Virtual Video Infrastructure

CDSM Redundancy

Release 2.1 introduces the Virtual Video Infrastructure with Caching Nodes. With the VVI, there is the 
option to centrally manage all the servers or to use the split-domain management. Split-domain 
management has two managers: 

Virtual Video Infrastructure Manager (VVIM) manages the Vaults and Caching Nodes

Stream Manager manages the Stream Domain of Streamers

You can have multiple Stream Domains that are each managed by a separate Stream Manager. Centrally 
managed VVIs are only supported in an RTSP environment. A VVI in an ISA environment must use 
split-domain management, as well as Shared Content Store and CCP Streamers. For more information 
about Shared Content Store and CCP Streamers, see the Cisco TV CDS ISA 2.1 Software Configuration 
Guide. Each of the VVI configurations has a different installation process.

In an ISA environment, split-domain management and Shared Content Store requires that both the 
VVIM and Stream Manager be configured with the ISA settings in order to successfully communicate 
with the BMS. Use the VVIM to configure the Shared ISA settings (Shared ISA Settings page), and use 
the Stream Manager to configure the individual ISA Stream Service settings (VHO ISA Settings).

Release 2.1 also introduces CDSM redundancy. All CDS servers keep track of both CDSM IP addresses. 
Each CDSM keeps track of the other CDSM IP address, as well as the virtual IP address that is used to 
access the CDSM. When running the cdsconfig script on each CDS server, you need to add each CDSM
