Installing software on a MEWS Server
Only systems with one or more MEWS Servers require this process. Use SiteConfig to install software on the MEWS Servers.
- The server on which you are installing software is in the SiteConfig system description and communicating on the control network.
- The server on which you are installing software has its credentials set in SiteConfig to allow access.
- The GV STRATUS MEWS Engine must not be installed together with any other engine to avoid conflict for the usage of port 8081.
-
Verify the
SiteConfig roles currently assigned to the server. If the roles are not correct
for your system design, add or remove roles accordingly. Roles are as follows:
- GV STRATUS MEWS Engine
- GV Log Manager
- Add the server to a deployment group, such as the GV STRATUS deployment group.
- Add the following files to the deployment group: Refer to release notes for version numbers.
- Do the SiteConfig Check Software operation on the server.
- Verify that deployment tasks are set to Install for the files listed above. If a WFRegMon install task appears, install it as well. It is required to support Grass Valley software installers. There is no uninstall task.
- Deploy software to the server.
- Restart as prompted.
- After deployment is complete, start the MEWS Service.
Next, license the MEWS Server.
