Upgrade other SAN clients
Do this task if:

You have clients on the K2 SAN that have not yet been upgraded. This is the case if you have
K2 appliances or other products that use the shared storage of the K2 SAN.
Prerequisites for this task are as follows:
•
You have access to the software installation files for this release. Procure the files via the
appropriate distibution method, such as download, CD-ROM, network drive, or external drive.
Refer to upgrade procedures for K2 clients and similarly upgrade all remaining client devices
on the K2 SAN.
NOTE: You must restart after installing K2 software.
Make recovery images
After you have upgraded software as instructed in these procedures and verified that your system
is working properly, you should always make a recovery image of each of your upgraded
computers. Use a sequence of tasks similar to those you followed for upgrading software so that
as you take systems offline you manage redundancy, servers, and clients, as appropriate for your
system.
Refer to the Grass Valley product's Service Manual for recovery image procedures.
