6 Configuring the TX/MAM servers’ IP-addresses
The TX/MAM servers do not use their own IP-address for communication with the Smart Playout
Center applications and servers, as to keep this IP-address available for the backup TX/MAM server.
Instead, a virtual IP-address is used.
Configure the TX/MAM servers’ real IP-addresses, for example using Yast.
Configure the TX/MAM servers’ virtual IP-address as described in the next paragraph.
7 Configuring the TX/MAM main and backup database
server and virtual IP-address
The main server automatically writes its backups to the backup server, and vice versa.
To configure the TX/MAM server, run the script db_configure:
# /system/db_configure <enter>
Now follow the screens below.
Click Yes to continue, No to cancel.
Click No.

Click Yes if you are configuring the main database server, No to configure the backup
database server.
The examples below and above describe configuration of the main database server. Both servers
need to be configured:
Enter the TX/MAM servers’ virtual IP-address.
Keep in mind that you need to specify the same virtual IP for the main and backup database
server. Note that the IP-address in the picture above is an example.
Click Submit to continue, Cancel to cancel.
Click Yes to continue, No to cancel.
Note that the IP-address in the picture above is an example.
