Configuration variables
Configuration variables reside in the records.config configuration file.
Streaming media configuration variables are not documented in the HP Cache Server Appliance Administrator
Guide, but that guide does contain important general information about the records.config file.
Some configuration variables apply to Media-IXT generally, so they affect WMT, RealNetworks, and
QuickTime streaming. Others affect only one streaming format.
Some Media-IXT configuration variables are not in records.config by default. When this is the case,
these variables' default values are in effect. You can tune these variables by adding the appropriate lines to
records.config, then restarting Media-IXT.
To make Media-IXT recognize new values for WMT configuration variables, after editing
records.config, restart Media-IXT.
From Media-IXT’s bin directory, run this command for a single Media-IXT host:
./traffic_line -b
From Media-IXT’s bin directory, run this command for a Media-IXT cluster:
./traffic_line -B
