Disable CMS and disconnect from Opencast

When you use the Admin panel to disable CMS on Pearl-2, the remote recorder disconnects from Opencast. As long as Pearl-2 is still registered, you can create new scheduled sessions in Opencast for this remote recorder, but the events schedule won't synchronize until CMS is re-enabled.

If CMS is re-enabled on Pearl-2 before a VOD session is scheduled to end, recording starts automatically on Pearl-2 when the connection to Opencast is re-established.

Important considerations

• You cannot start unscheduled ad hoc events when CMS is disabled on Pearl-2.
• Sessions that are scheduled to start while CMS is disabled on Pearl-2 do not start on Pearl-2.

• Deleting Pearl-2 in Opencast permanently deletes future scheduled and recurring sessions associated with that remote recorder.

• Do not disable CMS while an event is in progress.

1. Login to the Admin panel as admin, see Connect to the Admin panel.
