About installing GV STRATUS VTR Ingest devices with SiteConfig

With the installation instructions in this document, you use SiteConfig from a network connected control point PC and remotely upgrade software simultaneously on your system devices. This is the recommended process for software upgrades.

If SiteConfig was not used for your previous software install, do not use the upgrade instructions in these release notes. Instead, use the SiteConfig Migration Instructions. Before you upgrade software using SiteConfig, each of your product devices must be migrated to become a SiteConfig managed device. This includes installing SiteConfig support on the device, manually uninstalling any and all components, and qualifying the device for communication with SiteConfig. These instructions are in the SiteConfig Migration Instructions. Also refer to the SiteConfig User Manual or SiteConfig Help Topics.

The upgrade instructions in this document apply to the following devices:

• GV STRATUS VTR Ingest
• GV STRATUS VTR Controller

To upgrade software using SiteConfig, you must first have SiteConfig set up for system management and software deployment in your facility. These upgrade instructions assume that you have already done that for your K2 SAN. Then you add your product devices to the SiteConfig system description that you are using for your K2 SAN.

The following installation tasks provide information specifically for the upgrade to this version of software. Read the information in these sections carefully before attempting any upgrade to software.
