Disable CMS and disconnect from Opencast

When you use the Admin panel to disable CMS on Pearl Mini, the remote recorder disconnects from Opencast. As long as Pearl Mini 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 Mini before a VOD session is scheduled to end, recording starts automatically on Pearl Mini when the connection to Opencast is re-established.

Important considerations

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

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

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