Step F: Rebuild the cluster
Step F1: Add and configure the worker nodes
Follow these steps on each worker node:
-
Add the worker node to the cluster. Then add the node to its redundancy group. Finally, assign channels to the node, using the list of channel assignments) that you created. See Adding worker nodes.
-
Set up worker features.
Configuration information about some features isn't included in the database, so you must set them up again. The features are:
-
Enabling OCR conversion to handle captions
-
Disabling RTMP inputs in order to release processing resources
-
Setting the maximum for virtual input switching
See the section about features in the AWS Elemental Live Configuration Guide.
-
Note
You might want to voluntarily change the configuration of one or more of the worker nodes.
We strongly recommend that you don't make any voluntary changes to the configuration until you have tested your workflows in the new setup.
Step F2: Reconfigure routers
This section applies if the cluster previously included nodes that connected to an SDI input using a router. After you upgrade, the cluster still has information about the SDI inputs and about the router, but it is missing the mapping from the inputs to the router. You must reconfigure this information. You should have made a note of the configuration.
For more information see the information about configuring routers in the Reference: Configure connectivity section of the AWS Elemental Conductor Live Configuration Guide.
See the information about configuring routers in the Reference: Configure connectivity section of the AWS Elemental Conductor Live Configuration Guide. Specifically, start at the Complete the Router Output Mappings step in that procedure.
Step F3: Add Conductor node
If the cluster included a secondary Conductor, add it to the cluster and to the Conductor Live redundancy group. See Adding the secondary Conductor node to the cluster.
Step F4: Final steps
-
Start channels. You can start the channels that were previously running. See Restarting channels.
If you have only one Conductor, the upgrade process is now complete.
-
If you have two Conductors, re-enable HA. The secondary Conductor synchs itself to the primary Conductor. The upgrade process is now complete.
