Deploy Embedded Security solution - One-time process
You must have a system system-specific recovery
disk image of the computer on which you are doing the Embedded Security one-time process.
On the computers in your system that are running
the Grass Valley Embedded Security solution, you must do a one-time initial deployment
process, as instructed by this task. This task isolates the steps required for the one-time
process. If you have sufficient knowledge of systems and upgrades, you can modify your
software upgrade steps as necessary to do the one-time process at the same time as your other
software upgrades, rather than as isolated steps. After you have done this one-time process,
you can do future upgrades using the normal upgrade process.

Determine the status of the Embedded Security solution on
the computer. You can use SiteConfig check/view software to make this determination or on
the local computer you can use the Programs and Features Control Panel to make this
determination. Proceed as follows:
- If the computer does not have McAfee Solidifier, which is a component of the Embedded Security solution, do not continue with these steps. The computer must already have the Embedded Security solution before the one-time process is applied.
- If the computer has both McAfee Solidifier and GV Embedded Security Manager, do not continue with these steps. The one-time process installs GV Embedded Security Manager as a separate software component, so its presence indicates that the computer already has the one-time process applied.
- If the computer has McAfee Solidifier but does not have GV Embedded Security Manager, continue with these steps.
- Procure the McAfee script from the software download page on the Grass Valley website. The filename to download is McAfee-6.1.1.zip.
- Unzip and copy the directory containing the McAfee script and associated files to any location on the local computer.
- Use Embedded Security Manager and put the local computer in Update Mode.
- Restart the computer.
-
In SiteConfig, do the following:
- Add the GV Embedded Security Manager role to the device.
- Add cab file as necessary to the device's deployment group so that the GVEmeddedSecurityManager cab file is available for deployment.
- Do a Check Software operation on the device.
- Deploy software to the device.
- On the local computer, run the McAfee script that you downloaded from the Grass Valley website.
- Delete the directory containing the McAfee script and associated files from the local computer.
- Use Embedded Security Manager and leave the Update Mode. Embedded Security Manager now reports Enabled.
- Do Windows updates on the local computer. You can now install Windows updates KB2859537 and KB2872339, which were previously not allowed on Grass Valley systems.
