Acronyms and Definitions The following acronyms and terms are used in this document: DMS: Digital Media Systems DAM: Digital Asset Management System DMM: Digital Media Manager Application VP : Video Portal Application DSM: Digital Signage Manager Application ETV: Enterprise TV Manager Application DMP: Cisco Digital Media Player LAN: Local Area Network Group: A collection of DMS users grouped and managed together as a single entity for administrative convenience. Overview of the MIB This is a MIB Module for managing and monitoring the physical and logical structures in Cisco Digital Media Management System. The MIB reflects the structure as follows: * show DMS as an coherent, abstract media management system * indicate the physical inventory of DMS * indicate the media management features active (licensed) in the system. * show the streaming and storage components and their activity * elements of DMS security * external servers used by the system * events and alarms Hence, the MIB contains eight major groups of objects organized as follows: a) DMS System Group: This section models distributed DMS as a single abstract system. b) DMS Features Group: This section lists the DMS functions that this installation is licensed to perform and those that it is not. c) DMS Inventory Group: This section lists the physical elements that this installation of DMS comprises. d) Servers Group: This section models the external servers used by this installation of DMS. e) Digital Asset Management (DAM) Services Group: This section models the state and activity of various content management services that this installation of DMS is equipped with. The loose term 'content management' has been intentionally used to as to be able to accommodate more content management services in this model as they evolve. f) Security Group: This section defines the security configuration and activity of this installation of DMS. g) Fault Tolerance Group: This section models the redundancy (failover and load balancing) configuration of this installation of DMS and the associated activity. h) User Management Group: This section models the configured DMS users, groups and the associated activity. i) Events and Faults Group: This section models the events, alarms and notifications reported by this installation of DMS. j) Capacity Group: This section is planned for the future and would define the limits and capacities of functions of DMS. These include limits such as the type of media encodings that are supported, the maximum number of media players that may be managed etc. k) Resource Usage Group: This section is planned for the future and would define the current resource usage by DMS. This would include the amount of storage used by DMS, the number of encoders currently in use etc. l) Threshold group (allows definition of high water marks) This section is planned for the future and would allow the management entity to define thresholds to set high water marks on critical metrics. m) Notifications This section defines notifications to signal significant events pertaining to this installation of DMS.
