Express/Core server set up process

All systems require this process. Use SiteConfig for network setup and software install. On the GV STRATUS server with role of Common Services, use SabreTooth and install GV STRATUS licenses.

If you received your GV STRATUS server already set up from Grass Valley, skip set up tasks and do the test task only.

Note: Do not change or rename GV STRATUS core server except under the supervision of qualified Grass Valley Support personnel. Extensive system configuration is required to achieve a working GV STRATUS system.

In an operational GV STRATUS system, GV STRATUS servers must be running and logged on to the Windows operating system. The logon account must be the GV STRATUS system internal system account. The internal system account is the account that the GV STRATUS system uses to access assets and some internal system functions. By default this is the GVAdmin account. If the GVAdmin account does not exist, GV STRATUS Control Panel will be unusable.

The GVAdmin account can be disabled or removed when delegate account credentials had been reconfigured after the software install. For the delegate account on an existing system, it is important that the new password must be configured in GV STRATUS Control Panel first, and then changed for the corresponding workgroup or domain user. If not done in this order, GV STRATUS Control Panel will be unusable until the password for the currently configured delegate user is reverted to its previous value, at which point the credentials can be modified in the correct order.
