About upgrading the K2 SAN with SiteConfig

This section provides instructions to upgrade the following K2 SAN devices:

  • K2 Media Servers
  • K2 Summit Production Clients

With these upgrade instructions, you use SiteConfig from a network connected control point PC and remotely upgrade software simultaneously on multiple K2 devices. This is the required process for software upgrades. Do not upgrade software on a K2 SAN locally at each device or via any other process.

If this is the first time using SiteConfig for software upgrade, follow instructions in Installing and Servicing K2 Shared Storage Systems rather than instruction in these release notes. You must first have SiteConfig set up for system management and software deployment of the K2 SAN. Then, after you have completed this initial SiteConfig set up, you can follow the instructions in this section to upgrade software.

Note: If this is the first time using SiteConfig for software upgrade do not follow instructions in these release notes alone.
Note: Do not attempt to upgrade software incrementally across the devices of a K2 SAN while media access is underway. Online software upgrading is not supported.

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 on any of the devices of a K2 SAN, including K2 systems, or other clients.
