Grass Valley Aurora Ingest v.7.0.0 - Manual (Page 47)

Distribute devices into deployment groups
You can gather devices of different types into a SiteConfig deployment group. This
allows you to deploy software to all the devices in the deployment group at the same
time, as part of the same deployment session. Based on the roles you have assigned
to the devices, SiteConfig deploys the proper software to each device. This increases
the efficiency of your software deployment with SiteConfig.
If you have not already done so, configure your deployment groups. The recommended
deployment group distribution is as follows. Depending on your system design, your
system might not have all the device types listed.
• In a deployment group named "Aurora_Edit_Ingest_Playout", place the following
devices:
• Aurora Edit workstation of any storage options: Shared storage, NAS storage,
and stand-alone.
• Aurora Edit LD computer
• DSM
• Conform Server
• SmartBin Server
• FTP Server
• Aurora Ingest Platform
• IEP
• Aurora Playout Platform
• In a deployment group named "Aurora_Browse_MediaFrame", place the following
devices:
