Multiple Partition Support

The ISR can be configured with more than one partition. If needed, you can store recording files and logs on one partition and other application files on another. This section provides information on configuring multiple partitions.

Before running the configIsr.sh script, ensure the following prerequisites are complete:

• The partitions are already created on the RSS host. For example, /home and /opt.

  Note:

  During the installation, the default configuration of partitions allocates almost the entire disk to the /home directory. ISR software is installed by default on the path /opt/isr, requiring more space on the root ("/") directory, or more specifically the /opt directory.
• Ensure that the directory path to store Recordings and ArchivedRecordings has been created on the correct partition.
• Ensure that the partition directory path has valid ownership and permissions. For example:

  # ls -ltr /home/
  drwxrwxrwx. 4 isr    isr     4096 May 31 06:15 isr
  
  #ls -ltr /home/isr
  drwxrwxr--. 2 tomcat isr 53370880 Jun 12 21:14 ArchivedRecordings
  drwxrwxr--. 2 isr    isr  7577600 Jun 12 22:20 Recordings
  

• If needed, update the permissions, using the chmod and chown commands, to change the mode and ownership of the partition directory paths.

  chown isr:isr isr/
  chown isr:isr Recordings/
  chown tomcat:isr ArchivedRecordings/
  
  chmod 777 isr
  chmod 774 Recordings
  chmod 774 ArchivedRecordings
  

For instructions on configuring the ISR for storing other files (for example, application logs) on different partitions, consult your Oracle representative.

To configure multiple partitions in the ISR file system:

1. Execute the /opt/isr/configIsr.sh script.
   You are prompted to specify the path for the Recording and ArchivedRecordings files.

   • Enter the Recordings path to be served by Tomcat:

     Note:

     This value must match the Primary location entry configured for this RSS.

     [/opt/isr/Recordings]

     This is where you can specify a different path for Recordings than /directory. For example,

     [/home/isr/Recordings]

   • Enter the Archived Recordings path to be served by Tomcat.

     Note:

     This value must match the Secondary location entry configured for this RSS.

     [/opt/isr/ArchivedRecordings/]

     This is where you can specify a different path for ArchivedRecordings than /directory. For example,

     [/home/isr/ArchivedRecordings]

2. Verify that different Recordings and ArchivedRecordings paths are updated appropriately in the /usr/share/tomcat/conf/server.xml file.

   <Context docBase="/home/isr/Recordings" path="/Recordings"/>
   <Context docBase="/home/isr/ArchivedRecordings" path="/ArchivedRecordings"/>

3. When you are creating an RSS in the Dashboard, from the Sites, Locations, Local/Mount Configurations, Local Recordings Directory parameter, specify the paths you configured for Recording and ArchivedRecordings.
