Should it in principle be possible, given the architecture of Rivendell, to have two cards, each on its own system, with both servers using the same MySQL database and each having /var/snd mounted for playout? Theoretically I can just copy row for this host over to the old server, changing CARD0 to CARD1 for the latter's card entries, and then say a prayer and start her up?
This would result in a command to play a cart having to be first sent from the "client" to the primary server and then to the secondary (new) server if the clients were configured to play on Card 1. Also the AudioScience cards have an index selector on the card. Both hosts have the index of the card selected to "1". Would this be causing a conflict? I got the sense this was if you have multiple cards installed in one host but I don't know if Rivendell uses this information. New host comes up with "AudioScience 6685 [1]" and the old host with "AudioScience 6585 [1]" (when installed on separate databases).
