That time again to update the W2012 r2 server OS with the latest security patches and also SAM from Spacial Audio to the latest version. Will not be streaming for a bit then I will also tackle updating WordPress to its latest version and the Centos 7 Linux OS I am running the web server on.

Reboot of IceCast Relay Server
Rebooting the server that serves up my IceCast relay for that part of the stream audio stream for “Snakeice’s House of Beats”. I also updated and rebooted my this web server as well. I also updated to the latest Shoutcast version DNAS 2.5.5.
Upgrades Galore
Tonight I updated the OS of my workstations, virtual servers, physical servers, streaming software SAM Broadcasting from Spacial Audio and WordPress. My I started with my workstations and then my virtual servers including my Centos 7 web server that I run my blog on.
Then moved on to update my streaming media server which is W2012 R2. Right after that I updated my SAM Broadcaster software and my WordPress blogging\CMS software.
With SAM Broadcaster I also verified all my songs, backed up my database.

Music Server Back Streaming Music after Updates
Well what just started off as a W2012 r2 security patch update ending up being a bit more. I ended up updating not only the server where I process the music, run the streaming application with it’s database and ShoutCast relays but also my IceCast relay which is Centos 7. When I saw the new kernel I also did a quick and dirty update on my Centos 7 web server I have virtualizized on XenServer since it was a quick update for a virtual system.
As I brought up the SAM broadcasting software I use to stream the data I noticed there as a new version and I took a leap of faith and updated that as well since it had improvements with how it interacted with my MySQL database.
In short form back up and streaming ahead at full speed on the “Snakeice House of Beats” Ship streaming service!

Update the OS that has the streaming server so there will be a slight break in the music stream though the website will be up while I reboot my server I stream the music from.
As an update on this I also updated the streaming application I use SAM Broadcaster to the latest version and my IceCast relay server system which is of course another separate system. The streaming server is W2012 r2 and the IceCast server is running Linux Centos 7 as is my web server. I stream to ShoutCast from my windows 2012 R2 streaming server that has SAM Broadcaster on it.
