Before installing a new version of SNFS software, make sure that the K2 Media
Server has been restarted at least once since the previous version of SNFS software
was uninstalled.

drive or otherwise access the version 3.2.74 installation files.
3. Locate and open the following file:
gvSnfs312SetupK2.bat

Step 13: Manage redundancy on K2 Media Servers
Do not do this step if:
• You are upgrading a non-redundant K2 Storage System. This means you have just
one K2 Media Server that takes the role of media file system/database server. Skip
ahead to “Step 14: Upgrade remaining K2 Media Servers”.
Do this step if:
• You are upgrading a redundant K2 Storage System. To prevent triggering failover
mechanisms, you must manage primary/backup roles as instructed in this step.
If you have completed the upgrade to the primary server but you have not yet upgraded the backup
server, do the following:
1. Make sure the backup server is still shut down.
2. Put the primary server in service as follows:
a. On the primary server, run Server Control Panel. You can do this at the local
server or through the K2 System Configuration application.
