SNFS software for
64-bit systems
You can add files for both 32 bit and 64 bit systems because when SiteConfig deploys software it
automatically deploys the 32 bit or 64 bit software appropriate for the target device. You must install
SNFS as a separate cab file.
1. In the
Software Deployment | Deployment Groups
tree view, select a deployment group.
2. Click the
Add
button.
The Add Package(s) dialog box opens.
3. Do one of the following to select the software package:
•
Select from the list of packages then click
OK
.
•
Click
Browse
, browse to and select the package, then click
Open
.
4. If one or more EULAs are displayed, accept them to proceed. If you do not accept a EULA, the
associated software is not assigned to the deployment group.
SiteConfig adds the package to the deployment group.
The package appears in the Managed Packages list for the selected deployment group. SiteConfig
creates new software deployment tasks for the package and displays them in the Tasks list view.
Upgrade software on K2 Media Servers
Prerequisites for this task are as follows:
•
The devices that you are upgrading are in a deployment group.
•
For the software you are upgrading, you have added a newer version of that managed software
package to the deployment group.
•
If SNFS was on C:, you have uninstalled SNFS manually as instructed earlier in this upgrade
procedure.
•
You have recently done the SiteConfig "Check Software" operation on the devices you are
upgrading.
•
NOTE: On a K2 system, if a SNFS version lower than 3.0 is installed, do not uninstall using
SiteConfig. You must manually uninstall using a special batch file. Follow instructions in the
release notes for your current version of K2 software.
If you are upgrading multiple software components for which there is a required sequence, you must
check and uncheck tasks and run multiple deployment sessions to control the sequence. For some
software components, SiteConfig aids you by enforcing dependencies. For each individual software
component, SiteConfig enforces an uninstall of the current version of software before installing the
upgrade version. SiteConfig provides uninstall deployment tasks and install deployment tasks to
indicate the taskflow. SiteConfig can do the uninstall/install in a single deployment session.
1. In the
Software Deployment | Deployment Groups
tree view, select the device or the group of
devices to which you are deploying software.
The corresponding software deployment tasks are displayed in the Tasks list view.
2. For the software you are deploying, select the
Deploy
check box in the row for the uninstall task.
