Install software manually for GV I/O with IP option
- Verify that the Mellanox ConnectX-5 card is installed with the desired feeds attached.
- Verify that Windows Server 2016 Base Image version 20190822-340-2016w or later has been installed. The base image should contain McAfee Solidifier 8.2.1.143 and GV Embedded Security Manager 1.0.0.25 or later versions of these software components.
- You have procured the necessary GV I/O software and prerequisite files for the upgrade. Go to Grass Valley products compatible with GV I/O and Third party products compatible with GV I/O to determine the compatible software versions required.
This procedure is not required if you received your GV I/O server from the factory. Otherwise, proceed with the steps below:
-
Obtain GVIO-Prerequisites-4.x.zip file from ftp.grassvalley.com and
unzip to a temporary folder on the GV I/O unit.
This .zip file contains software components that will be used later in the procedure.
- Stop AppCenter if it is running.
- Stop the AppService applicaton.
- Stop the S2059Client application.
- Change Embedded Security Manager to Update Mode.
- Execute the GV Engine installer: GVEngineInstaller-x.x.x.xx_vcxxx.exe
- Execute the NVIDIA installer: 442.74-quadro-winserv-2016-2019-64bit-international-whql.exe
- Execute S2059 Client installer: S2059ClientInstaller-1.3.0.29.exe
- Execute VyDriver installer: VyDriver-1.5.0.28.exe
- Use the Windows Programs and Features Control Panel to uninstall the MLNX_WinOF2 component.
- Use the Windows Programs and Features Control Panel to uninstall the WinMFT64 component.
- Execute the installer for the new WinMFT64 component for this release: WinMFT_x64_4_14_2_17.exe
-
Execute the installer for the new MLNX_WinOF2 component for this release:
MLNX_WinOF2_All_AllOS_x64_release_2_940_22655_23.exe
Note: If the firmware on the Mellanox ConnectX-5 card is of an older revision, this installation step may include a firmware update that can take up to 30 minutes to complete.
- Open a Windows Command Prompt, making sure to choose "Run as administrator".
-
From the command line prompt, execute the command mst status -v to
identify details of each port for the Mellanox ConnectX-5 card as below:
The output from the command will include port IDs of the form "mt4119_pciconf0" and "mt4119_pciconf0.1". You will need to use these IDs in the next steps.
-
Execute the rivermax_config program once for each port ID from the step above.
For the GV I/O 3.0 release, the executable is named rivermax_config-2_940_22655_23.exe
An example of executing the command: rivermax_config-2_940_22655_23.exe mt4119_pciconf0
-
Go to c:\License and check whether
rivermax.lic file exists in the directory.
If you do not have a rivermax.lic file, then obtain a copy of the rivermax.lic file via instructions at Licensing the Mellanox ConnectX-5 card.
-
Run the NetAdapterConfig_Version5.ps1 file for NIC
configuration.
Note: Reinstalling or updating the Mellanox driver will reset the NIC configuration settings, so this script must be executed again after any future driver updates.
- Open Network and Sharing Center in the Control Panel, then right-click and select Properties on the first Mellanox ConnectX network port.
-
Disable all protocol and services except Vy and
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).
Note: VyDriver's configuration for CPU core selection can be left at the default automatic setting.
- Go to the second Mellanox ConnectX network port, then disable all protocol and services except Vy and Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).
- For all non-Mellanox network ports, right-click on Properties and uncheck Vy for each network port.
- Set up and assign IP addresses for the Mellanox network interface controller (NIC).
-
Execute the WeightNetworkAdapters2345678.ps1 script to
optimize the general network adapter configuration for the GV I/O unit.
Please refer to WeightNetworkAdapters_README.txt for details about executing this script.
- Change Embedded Security Manager to Enabled Mode.
- Reboot the GV I/O unit.
