This afternoon I received a hard drive for Let's Be Cops, and promptly started ingesting. Not long after the satellite content started ingesting. Should I be concerned about any potential conflicts (KDM or content) resulting from two of the same DCP being ingested? Normally we would have already received the satellite content, so when I go to ingest the hard drive, it will show that DCP as already being on the server.

the server should handle that. Worst case scenario, delete it, reboot the server and ingest it again.

Hmm, both ingests will usually go through an intermediate logical storage until validated and added to the server database. The last one finished will typically overwrite the first one after the validation and database update process, I would assume. As a single KDM in this case probably was meant to be valid for both sat and hd version, the server will probably not store them as two independent DCPs, which, in theory could happen with a SAT transfer.

I wound ups getting errors and the files didn't pass the hash test. When I looked at my content section, both DCP's were listed showing errors. I deleted one file, but the LMS deleted both of them. Then I reingested, but it still showed to files with errors.

After that I deleted the files, rebooted my server, reingested. Everything seems to be fine now.

What server again, GDC?
