When configuring File Recording using XML control, there are 5 options for configuring the storage device on which the file recordings are then stored.
Within the XML Schema on Using XML Control, these options can be seen as: Attach_Time_First, Attach_Time_Last, Free_Space_Max, Total_Space_Max, and Volume_UUID.
Attach_Time_First:
- The storage device which was attached to the EdgeCaster first will be selected for storing the file recordings.
Attach_Time_Last:
- The storage device which was attached to the EdgeCaster most recently will be selected for storing the file recordings.
Free_Space_Max:
- The storage device which contains the greatest amount of free storage space will be selected for storing the file recordings.
Total_Space_Max:
- The storage device which contains the greatest amount of total storage space will be selected for storing the file recordings.
Volume_UUID:
- The storage device which is defined by this setting will not change unless the volume UUID is changed in the XML file. This storage device will be selected any time file recording is enabled (using this XML file) to store the file recordings.
- To find the volume UUID of a storage device, the end user must use REST commands to determine the appropriate value for the desired storage device (internal or external):
- GET http://edgecaster_ip:2020/v2/storage
- Find appropriate storage device in the return and determine appropriate "uuid"
- Enter Volume_UUID for the Policy, and enter the uuid for the Data in the XML file.
- Example XML configuration for Device Selection Policy under File Recording output:
-
<DeviceSelectionPolicy><Policy>Volume_UUID</Policy><Data>12345678-9abc-defg-hijk-lmnopqrstuvw</Data></DeviceSelectionPolicy>
