Pearl Mini the same resource name as another resource.

events from that other device over to Pearl Mini.

one, you can simply reassign the existing Pearl Mini resource name to the replacement Pearl Mini.
Assigning Pearl Mini the same resource name when you register the encoder transfers all the existing schedules
and recordings over to the replacement Pearl Mini. When a resource tries to register using the same name as
another device, a warning message appears and you're asked whether or not you want to take over from the
other resource.

If there's only one other registered resource with that name, you're prompted to choose whether or not to
take over the events for that other resource. If you do take them over, Kaltura transfers all scheduled
events from that other device.
