Grass Valley GV STRATUS Installation v.3.1 - Manual (Page 375)

Distribute devices into deployment groups
All systems require this process.
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 "STRATUS", place the following devices:
• GV STRATUS client PC connected on the corporate LAN for low-resolution (proxy) workflow
• GV STRATUS client PC connected on the media (iSCSI) network for high-resolution workflow
• GV STRATUS servers as follows:
• Express server
• Core server
• Proxy server (A1)

(proxy) workflow
