Introduction

This guide provides instructions for upgrading the MediaStream Network Storage (NS) System and the MediaStream Storage Independent (Si) System to software version SAN 3.3x 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
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.
notes
c
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.
c
n
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 3.3x requires your system to be running at least SAN version 3.01. If you
running an earlier revision, you must upgrade to version 3.01 first and perform its
are
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.
10

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.
Software Version Numbers
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.
c
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.

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.
