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 1.0.0.26 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:

  1. Obtain GVIO-Prerequisites-5.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.

  2. Stop AppCenter if it is running.
  3. Stop the AppService applicaton.
  4. Stop the S2059Client application.
  5. Change Embedded Security Manager to Update Mode.
  6. Execute the installer for the Zulu Java JDK: zulu11.41.23-ca-jdk11.0.8-win_x64.msi
  7. Execute the GV Engine installer: GVEngineInstaller-x.x.x.xx_vcxxx.exe
  8. Execute the NVIDIA installer: 452.57-quadro-winserv-2016-2019-64bit-international-whql.exe
  9. Execute S2059 Client installer: S2059ClientInstaller-1.3.0.33.exe
  10. Execute VyDriver installer: VyDriver-1.5.0.28.exe
  11. Use the Windows Programs and Features Control Panel to uninstall the MLNX_WinOF2 component.
  12. Use the Windows Programs and Features Control Panel to uninstall the WinMFT64 component.
  13. Execute the installer for the new WinMFT64 component for this release: WinMFT_x64_4_14_2_17.exe
  14. 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.
  15. Open a Windows Command Prompt, making sure to choose "Run as administrator".
  16. 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.

  17. 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

  18. 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.

  19. Run the NetAdapterConfig_VersionX.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.
  20. Open Network and Sharing Center in the Control Panel, then right-click and select Properties on the first Mellanox ConnectX network port.
  21. 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.
  22. Go to the second Mellanox ConnectX network port, then disable all protocol and services except Vy and Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).
  23. For all non-Mellanox network ports, right-click on Properties and uncheck Vy for each network port.
  24. Set up and assign IP addresses for the Mellanox network interface controller (NIC).
  25. 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.

  26. Change Embedded Security Manager to Enabled Mode.
  27. Reboot the GV I/O unit.
