  • Updated

Applies to Models: Linux Wave Servers, WRR, WRT, WRN

Summary:

GUID duplication on Linux-based Wave servers can block the merging of any servers with a duplicate GUID, as well as cause Wave Sync service disruptions on non-merged servers with duplicate a GUID as well. Regenerating a new GUID does not harm any function of Wave.

NOTE: These instructions can be used for Linux WRR and WRT servers as well.

Step By Step Guide:

1. Click on the Linux version of a Start button (Figure 1)

11. Type systemctl stop hanwha-mediaserver

12. Press Enter
