Upgrade K2 systems
- All K2 Summit systems must upgrade to the latest supported version of .NET if not already installed.
- You have procured the necessary software and documentation for the upgrade. Go to //www.grassvalley.com/dl/k2_summit and refer to the "Release Notes" section of the K2 Topic Library to determine the compatible software versions and documentation required.
- All standalone K2 Summit systems must be offline (all media access stopped) and shut down. The power must be off for a few seconds before switching it on again.
- If upgrading a K2 SAN, all SAN clients must be offline (all media access stopped) and shut down. The power must be off for a few seconds before switching it on again. Depending on your system design, this could include devices such as SAN-attached K2 Summit systems, GV STRATUS servers, and GV STRATUS Client PCs.
Note: When upgrading from a K2 software version lower than
9.x to a K2 software version at 9.x or higher, you must reimage each K2 Summit system. Hardware upgrades might also be
required on a K2 Summit system.
- Upgrade your K2 systems to the compatible version of K2 system software. This includes K2 SAN systems and stand-alone K2 Summit systems. When upgrading for compatibility with GV STRATUS, use GrassValley_K2system_x.x.x.cab file, which contains the required GrassValley_STRATUS_SummitServices_x.x.x.cab file.
