Upgrade K2/Summit/SAN systems that are accessed by the GV STRATUS system

  • You have procured the necessary software and documentation for the upgrade. Go to Grass Valley products compatible with GV STRATUS and determine the compatible software versions 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.
  1. 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.
  2. On systems running Embedded Security, do the one-time initial deployment process for the Embedded Security solution, if you have not already done so.
  3. Update K2 Summit licenses.
