Install High Priority Windows updates (recommended)
•
Windows “High Priority” updates are recommended, but not required. While you
have devices in an offline state to upgrade software, you should check to see if
there are any new updates that you need to install. Use standard Windows
procedures.
CAUTION: Only “High Priority Updates” should be installed. Do not
install other Windows or driver updates unless specifically directed by
product documentation or by Grass Valley Support.
Check all currently installed software on Aurora Playout devices
Prerequisites for this task are as follow:
•
The device is assigned in the SiteConfig system description and network
connectivity is present.
•
SiteConfig is able to log in to the device using the username/password credentials
assigned to the device.
•
The SiteConfig control point PC does not have a network drive mapped to an
administrative share (such as C$) on a device on which you are checking software.
•
If Aurora product software at a version lower than 6.5.2 is currently installed, it
must be manually uninstalled. For more information refer to SiteConfig Migration
Instructions.
Do the following steps on the device that you are upgrading.
1. In the
Software Deployment | Deployment Groups
tree view, right-click the top-most
node for the group or any individual device and select
Check Software
.
NOTE: If you have access problems, verify that the adminstrator account on
the device has credentials as currently configured in SiteConfig. By default
credentials on the device should be administrator/adminGV! for Aurora devices
and Administrator/adminK2 for K2 devices.
The Check Software dialog box appears. SiteConfig searches for software on
the selected device or devices and gathers information. Progress is reported.
