RDMonitor / RDSelect Configuration
|
|
|
|
The Rivendell RDMonitor module can be used to monitor the health state
|
|
(Database + Audio Store) of a system. Optionally, it can also be used
|
|
with RDSelect to allow a host to be switched between multiple Database +
|
|
AudioStore setups. This document describes the procedure for converting
|
|
an existing Rivendell setup to allow this functionality.
|
|
|
|
1) OVERVIEW
|
|
Rivendell requires that a configuration file exist at '/etc/rd.conf'
|
|
that describes basic parameters (such as login information for the MySQL
|
|
database server). RDMonitor/RDSelect build on this foundation by
|
|
utilizing a set of one or more configuration files located in the
|
|
'/etc/rivendell/' directory, with the 'current' configuration indicated
|
|
by a symbolic link at '/etc/rd.conf' that points to the desired configuration
|
|
in '/etc/rivendell.d/'. Several new parameters have been added to
|
|
rd.conf(5) to support this mode of operation, including:
|
|
|
|
[Identity]
|
|
Label=<label>
|
|
|
|
[AudioStore]
|
|
MountSource=<mnt-src>
|
|
MountType=<mnt-type>
|
|
MountOptions=<mnt-opts>
|
|
|
|
Where:
|
|
<label> - A text string that is displayed to indicate the overall name
|
|
of this configuration.
|
|
|
|
<mnt-src> - The filesystem to be mounted at '/var/snd' when using this
|
|
configuration, such as would be provided in fstab(5). If the desired
|
|
audio store resides on the root filesystem, then this field should be
|
|
left blank.
|
|
|
|
<mnt-type> - The type of audio store mount, such as would be specified in
|
|
fstab(5).
|
|
|
|
<mnt-opts> - The mount point options for the audio store, such as would
|
|
be specified in fstab(5).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) CONVERTING AN OLD-STYLE SETUP
|
|
An 'old-style' setup --i.e. one that consists of a single configuration
|
|
file at '/etc/rd.conf'-- can be converted to the new layout through the
|
|
following steps:
|
|
|
|
A) Create the configuration directory:
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p /etc/rivendell.d
|
|
|
|
B) Move the original configuration file:
|
|
|
|
mv /etc/rd.conf /etc/rivendell.d/rd-default.conf
|
|
|
|
C) Create the symbolic link:
|
|
|
|
ln -s /etc/rivendell.d/rd-default.conf /etc/rd.conf
|
