Chapter 1

Introduction

This guide provides instructions for upgrading the MediaStream Network Storage (NS)

System and the MediaStream Storage Independent (Si) System to software version

SAN 3.2x or the current software release. Software releases update all or any combination of

the following components:

• The MediaStream Interface (MSi) computer

• The File System Controllers (FSC)

• The MediaStream Server (MSS)

• The Palladium Store (PS) 1000 Firmware

• The ConnectPlus/gateway

Read the release notes to identify current release revision numbers and to note any special

instructions with the release. The MediaStream Server Software disc contains release

notes

for the main release and all patches in the :\doc directory.

There are two Network Storage System upgrade CDs. One contains the MSS and MSi

software upgrades. The FSC Program CD contains the FSC software upgrade.

As part of the system upgrade, you need to upgrade any gateways (FTP servers) when

you upgrade the MediaStream Servers. If you have a ConnectPlus product, be sure

that you have an upgrade CD for the gateway before you start the system upgrade.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Before You Begin

See the Release Notes on the upgrade CDs for the latest information on the

changes, features, and issues regarding this software release.

All of the upgrades for your system must be performed at the same time. Otherwise,

your system’s integrity could be compromised.

Upgrade to SAN 3.2x requires your system to be running at least SAN version 3.01. If you

are

running an earlier revision, you must upgrade to version 3.01 first and perform its

associated File Migration procedure before continuing. See the MediaStream Network

Storage System 3.01 Installation Guide.

The upgrade must be completed in the following order.

1. Upgrade the MSi

2. Upgrade FSCs

3. Upgrade MSS and gateways (ConnectPlus products)

4. Upgrade Palladium Store 1000 firmware

Software Version Numbers

The numbering convention for MediaStream system software is as follows:

System Version Number

0X.YZ

For system releases X is the current major release number, Y is the minor release number

and Z indicates a patch number. A complete upgrade on the system is necessary for any

change in the revision number.

MSi Version Number

A.X.YZ

A indicates MSi software; X is the current major release number; Y is the minor release

number; and Z indicates the patch number. A complete upgrade on the device is necessary

for any change in the revision number.

Software Version Numbers

FSC Version Number

G.0X.0Y.ZZ

G indicates FSC software; X is the current major release number; Y is the minor release

number; and Z indicates the patch number. A complete upgrade on the device is necessary

for any change in the revision number.

MSS Version Number

C.XX.YZ

The initial C indicates that this software is for use with the MediaStream Server System.

XX is the major revision of software. If you are installing software that has a different major

number than the software you are currently running, you must check with your automation

vendor before installing this software.

Y is the minor revision number. A change in the minor number indicates minor feature

changes and bug fixes. A change of minor release does not include any changes that will

affect control of the servers via automation.

Z is a patch level; the Z number indicates the number of patches installed on top of the

minor release. Installing additional patches does not require a complete re-install of the

software.

Long File Names

Versions later than C.15.00 provide for the use of longer (32-character) file names.

Do not enable the longer file names feature without approval from your automation

vendor. Their software might not support its use or may need configuration changes to

accommodate it. If desired, the MSi application can be then enabled to allow it to

create and reference these longer file names. You can do so by selecting

Setup/Configuration from the application’s title bar and selecting the Long File Names

option in the dialog box.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Chapter 2

MSi Software Upgrade

MSi software updates take about three minutes to perform.

To update the MSi software:

1. Close all applications and exit from the MSi application.

2. Insert the MSi upgrade CD into the drive. The setup program starts automatically.

3. Click the MSi System Console Software button. The MSi Setup program runs.

4. A message might appear saying that a previous install is detected. Follow the

instructions to back up your old configuration files before proceeding.

Chapter 2 MSi Software Upgrade

5. Choose the appropriate MS model from the list (8000si or 8000NS) and click Next.

- MediaStream 8000si — choose MediaStream 8000si [single FSC]

- MediaStream 8000NS — choose MediaStream 900NS or 8000NS [dual FSC]

6. Click Yes to display the Release Notes, otherwise click No.

7. Click Next to start the installation, which takes less than a minute to complete.

8. Click OK at the MSi Setup Complete pop-up window.

9. Click Yes, I want to restart my computer now.

10. After the MSi PC successfully restarts, double-click the MSi icon in the desktop

window or select MSi from the Start Menu.

11. The first time that you start the MSi application, you might be prompted to set up the

configuration. When asked if you want to Enter MSi configuration, click OK. From the

main menu, select Setup > Configuration.

For instructions on configuring MSi, see Chapter 6 of the MediaStream Server 8000 Site

Preparation, Installation and Reference Guide or Chapter 3 of the MediaStream Server

8000Si Site Preparation, Installation and Reference Guide.

12. If you have any 15-in monitors running MSi, adjust them as described in the following

section.

Chapter 2 MSi Software Upgrade

Adjust the MSi Computer’s Monitor Resolution (15-inch Monitors)

If you are using a 15-inch monitor, adjust the screen resolution to 1024 by 768.

To adjust the screen resolution:

1. Place your mouse on an area of the Windows desktop that has only the background

color and right-click. Select Properties from the menu.

2. Select the Settings tab in the Display Properties dialog box.

3. Move the resolution slider to 1024 by 768.

4. Click the Test button and click OK.

5. Click OK in the Testing Mode dialog box. Your desktop is temporarily set to the new

resolution.

6. After the test, click Yes to retain the new display resolution.

Chapter 3

FSC and MSS Upgrade

This chapter describes upgrades for several components on your MediaStream System

including the FSC, MSS, and Gateway.

Prepare for FSC Upgrade

Later in the procedure you will need to upgrade any gateways (FTP servers) you have for

this cluster. If you have a ConnectPlus product, before continuing the upgrade be sure that

you have an upgrade CD for the gateway. Also, ensure that you have the MSi and MSS

upgrade CDs ready for use.

t From a command window for each FSC run

fsc_revisions

to verify current software

revision.

- If your revision matches the current release proceed to “Upgrade the MediaStream

Servers” on page 34.

- If your revision does not match the revision required for this release, proceed with

the following procedure.

For 8000si systems there is only one FSC.

Chapter 3 FSC and MSS Upgrade

To open a command window on a computer,

1. Click Start > Run, enter

command

in the text box and click OK.

2. From a command window on either of the FSC computers, enter

fsc_status.

These commands are case sensitive.

- 8000si systems — only one column will display showing a Primary FSC.

- 8000NS systems — determine which FSC is the primary (usually FSC 1) and

which is the secondary (usually FSC 2). The following instructions require that you

know which FSC is the primary FSC and which FSC is secondary. FSC 1 in these

instructions refers to the primary, and FSC 2 refers to the secondary FSC

For 8000NS systems, make sure both FSCs are running in a Ready state before beginning

the upgrade procedure. In the

fsc_status

display, they should both have a Connection

status of “

Connected

,” SANSERVICE Status of “

Ready

,” and WATCHDOG status of

“

.” If any of these is not displayed, contact Avid MediaStream Support before

proceeding.

3. From a command window on FSC 1, stop the FSC by entering

fsc_stop.

FSC 2 is now the only FSC running. It should be running as Primary Alone - Broken.

Use the

fsc_status

command to verify this.

For FSC 8000Si, running

fsc_stop

will bring the server off the air. This is normal. On-air

upgrades are not supported for 8000si systems.
