Introduction

This chapter provides information about configuring a Network File System (NFS) share for archival.

To configure archival to an NFS share:

1. Once the NFS filesystem is properly being exported by the server, you may try mounting the share to the client host using the following command: object.

   mount -t nfs -o rw,nosuid <nfs_host_name>:<nfs_mount_path> /opt/isr/
   ArchivedRecordings" e.g. mount -t nfs -o rw,nosuid host01.mydoc.com:/usr/
   local/apps /opt/isr/ArchivedRecordings
   

   Note:

   You may need to install the nfs-utils package for mounting an NFS file system. For more information, refer to https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E52668_01/E54669/html/ol7-cfgclnt-nfs.html.
2. For the mounted share to persist through reboots, you must edit the /etc/fstab file and add a line to the bottom with the following format:

   <server>:</remote/export> </local/directory> <nfs-type> <options> 0 0

   For example,

   1.2.3.4:/mnt/nfs_share /opt/isr/ArchivedRecordings nfs defaults 0 0

   Note:

   Use the mount -a command to remount the filesystems and test your configuration.
3. From the RSS Linux shell, verify that users in the group "isr" have write permissions on the NFS share.
   • Verify the current user is in the "isr" group (in the following example the user's name is "isradm").

     #groups isradm
     isradm: isradm wheel isr wireshark

   • Add a file on the share.

     touch /opt/isr/ArchivedRecordings/foo.txt

   • Verify that the file exists

     ls -l/opt/isr/ArchivedRecordings/foo.txt

4. From the RSS Linux shell, using the systemctl restart tomcatd command, restart Tomcat. Since the Archived Location was not available as a resource to the application server responsible for serving recordings previously, this is necessary.
5. From the ISR Dashboard, add the new Archival Location.

   • Click Admin.

   • Click the Sites link.

   • Select the Site on which you are adding the new Archival Location and click Manage Site.

   • Click Locations.

   • Click Create.

   • name—Enter a specific name for the Location.

   • Remote Access URL—Set the URL serving recordings in the directory (this is likely to be http://<RSS IP>/ArchivedRecording).

   • Click Local/Mount Configurations.

   • Local Recordings Directory—Set the recordings directory path to /opt/isr/ArchivedRecordings.

   • Click Conversion Configurations.

   • Converter IP Address—Specify the RSS IP address for conversion to play recordings using certain codecs.

   • Click Create.

6. From the ISR Dashboard, configure Archival to the Location.

   • Click Admin.

   • Click the Sites link.

   • Select the Site on which you are configuring Archival to the Location and click Manage Site.

   • Click Archivers.

   • Click Create.

   • IP Address—Enter the RSS IP address.

   • Source—Set to <RSS name> (<RSS IP>) Primary.

   • Destination—Set to the name you gave the Location.

   • Click Create.

     For more information on advanced settings while configuring a new Archiver, see "Managing Archivers" in the Administrator Guide.

7. From the ISR Dashboard, verify that Archival is configured properly.

   • Click on Recordings.

   • Select a recording and click Details.

   • Click the File Location tab and verify that the recording was archived in the Archival Remarks field.

     

     Note:

     By default, the Archival process runs every two minutes and you must wait for it to run at its scheduled time.
