About upgrading stand-alone K2 systems with SiteConfig

These upgrade instructions apply to stand-alone K2 systems as follows:

  • K2 Summit Production Client internal storage
  • K2 Summit Production Client direct-connect storage
  • K2 Solo Media Server

With these upgrade instructions, you use SiteConfig from a network connected control point PC and remotely upgrade software simultaneously on multiple K2 systems.

Note: A control point PC is required.

This is the recommended process for software upgrades. If you choose to upgrade manually instead, you can go to each local K2 system and use keyboard, monitor, and mouse to upgrade software. You can find instructions for a manual upgrade without SiteConfig at Upgrading stand-alone K2 systems with SiteConfig in these release notes.

If this is the first time using SiteConfig for software upgrade, follow instructions in K2 System Guide rather than instruction in these release notes. You must first have SiteConfig set up for system management and software deployment of the stand-alone K2. Also refer to the SiteConfig User Manual or SiteConfig Help Topics. 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.

The following installation tasks provide information specifically for the upgrade to this version of 9.6 software. Read the information in these sections carefully before attempting any upgrade to software on a stand-alone K2 system.
