Prepare SiteConfig for software deployment to K2 SAN devices

Do the following to prepare SiteConfig for the software upgrade.

  1. Make the following files accessible to the SiteConfig control point PC:
    • K2 Summit Client SAN software installation (*.cab) file.
    • K2 Media Server software installation (*.cab) file. Use file with x86 in filename for 32-bit systems and file with x64 in filename for 64-bit systems.
    • SNFS software installation (*.cab) file. Use file with x86 in filename for 32-bit systems and file with x64 in filename for 64-bit systems.
    • Summit SNFS software installation (*.cab) file.
    • Control Point software installation (*.cab) file.
  2. On the K2 Media Server, check for the C:\SNFS directory and then proceed as follows:
    • If C:\SNFS exists on the K2 Media Server, then SNFS is on the C: drive. In this case you must move SNFS to the D: drive. To do this you must procure the 35c235d.reg file and use it in the upgrade process.
    • If C:\SNFS does not exist on the K2 Media Server, continue with this procedure. No special tasks are required.
  3. If a newer version of SiteConfig is available for upgrade and you have not yet upgraded SiteConfig, do the following:
    1. From Windows Programs and Features, uninstall the current version of SiteConfig from the control point PC.
    2. Install the new version of SiteConfig on the control point PC.
  4. If you have less than 25 devices in the K2 system, configure a SiteConfig deployment group consisting of K2 devices as follows:
    • K2 SAN clients
    • K2 Media Servers
    • Control Point PC
  5. If you have more than 25 devices in the K2 system or various K2 software versions in your operation, configure separate deployment groups as follows:
    • A deployment group that contains your K2 SAN clients
    • A deployment group that contains your K2 Media Servers
