To upgrade software using SiteCon
fi
g, you must
fi
rst have SiteCon
fi
g set up for system
management and software deployment in your facility. These upgrade instructions
assume that you have already done that for your K2 SAN. Then you add your Aurora
product devices to the SiteCon
fi
g system description that you are using for your K2
SAN.
NOTE: Do not attempt to upgrade software incrementally across the devices of a
K2 SAN while media access is underway. Online software upgrading is not supported.
The following installation tasks provide information speci
fi
cally for the upgrade to
this version of software. Read the information in these sections carefully before
attempting any upgrade to software.
NOTE: If adding a new 64 bit Windows 7 device in SiteCon
fi
g, select x64 as the
platform type. This enables the 64 bit versions of iSCSI and SNFS to be installed
instead of the default 32 bit versions. For Aurora Edit to work with Windows 7, the
Windows 7 administrator account must be enabled.
Make recovery images
Do not do this task if:
•
You previously made a recovery image at the current software version for each
computer you are upgrading.
Do this task if:
•
You do not have a recovery image at the current software version for one or more
of the computers you are upgrading.
The recommended procedure is to make a recovery image immediately after a software
upgrade. If you neglected to do this when you last upgraded software you should make
the recovery image now, before upgrading to the new version.
CAUTION: If you upgrade and then decide you do not want to stay with this
version of software, you must use the recovery disk image process to downgrade
to your previous version.
Prepare for upgrade
Before upgrading, do the following:
•
Procure the software installation
fi
les for this release via the appropriate distibution
method, such as download, CD-ROM, network drive, or external drive.
•
Start up the devices you are upgrading, if they are not already started.
•
Stop all media access on the devices you are upgrading.
