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 specifically for the upgrade to
this 7.2.7 version of software. Read the information in these sections carefully before
attempting any upgrade to software on any of the devices of a K2 SAN, including K2
systems, Aurora Edit systems, or other clients.
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.
Refer to the K2 product's Service Manual for recovery image procedures.
CAUTION: If you upgrade and then decide you do not want to stay with this
version of K2 system software, you must use the recovery disk image process to
downgrade to your previous version.
Prepare SiteConfig for software deployment to K2 SAN devices
Do the following to prepare SiteConfig for the software upgrade.
1. Make the following files accessible to the SiteConfig control point PC:
• K2 Summit Client SAN software installation (*.cab) file.
• K2 Media Server software installation (*.cab) file.
• Control Point software installation (*.cab) file.
2. On the K2 Media Server, check for the C:\SNFS directory and then proceed as
follows:
• If C:\SNFS exists on the K2 Media Server, then SNFS 3.5.1 is on the C: drive.
In this case you must move SNFS to the D: drive. To do this you must procure
the 35c235d.reg file and use it as instructed with special tasks in the upgrade
process below. The 35c235d.reg file is on the version 7.2.7.xxxx K2 software
CD in the SNFS directory. It can also be obtained at
http://www.grassvalley.com/downloads.
• If C:\SNFS does not exist on the K2 Media Server, continue with this procedure.
No special tasks are required.
