Install prerequisite files on the control point PC
Some software components, such as those for Aurora products, share common
prerequisite software. You must install a prerequisite software package on the control
point PC to make the prerequisite software available for software deployment to
devices.
1. Check release notes for the required version of prerequisite files, if any.
2. On the SiteConfig control point PC, open Windows Add/Remove programs and
look for
Grass Valley Prerequisite Files
, then proceed as follows:
•
If the required version of prerequisite files is installed, do not proceed with this
task.
•
If prerequisite files are not installed or are not at the required version, proceed
with this task.
3. Procure the required prerequisite software installation file. The file name is
Prerequisite Files.msi
.
4. On the SiteConfig control point PC, run the installation file. The installation program
copies prerequisite files to
C:\Program Files\Grass Valley\Prerequisite
Files
.
Upgrade K2 systems
Prerequisites for this task are as follows:
•
If upgrading a K2 SAN, all SAN clients must be offline (all media access stopped)
or shut down. Depending on your system design, this could include devices such
as K2 clients, K2 appliances, Aurora Proxy (Advanced) Encoders, MDI server,
Aurora Edit clients, Aurora Ingest clients, Aurora Playout clients, and generic
clients.
Upgrade your K2 systems to the compatible version of K2 system software. This
includes K2 SAN systems and stand-alone K2 Media Client and K2 Summit
Production Client systems. Refer to K2 Release Notes for procedures.
Distribute devices into deployment groups
You can gather devices of different types into a SiteConfig deployment group. This
allows you to deploy software to all the devices in the deployment group at the same
time, as part of the same deployment session. Based on the roles you have assigned
to the devices, SiteConfig deploys the proper software to each device. This increases
the efficiency of your software deployment with SiteConfig.
