IMPORTANT
Back up your system database
Before upgrading the multiviewer system, make sure you have a backup of
the current system database so that you can return to the previous Kaleido
Software version if necessary. Refer to Creating a Backup in the Kaleido
Software User’s Manual, for details. See Related Documentation , on page 15.
Cluster and cascade systems
All multiviewers that are part of a cluster or cascade system must have the
same Kaleido Software version.
For cluster systems, Kaleido Software version 8.70 introduce a hard
compatibility break with previous Kaleido Software versions.
Cluster backups you create with version 8.70 (or higher), cannot be restored
by using an earlier version of XEdit. Grass Valley recommends you make a
backup of the individual databases for every cluster member, before
upgrading from a pre-8.70 version, to version 8.70 (or higher).
