Identify test applications and setup
All systems require this process. Locate the applications pre-installed for test purposes and verify
test environment.
Grass Valley pre-installs all the applications you need to test basic system functionality. Before
beginning with your tests, find the applications and make sure you understand the system setup you
are testing.
When Grass Valley pre-installs applications for test purposes, in some cases the applications are
installed on systems that do not meet the application's system requirements. This can cause minor
functional anomalies that should not be interpreted as system problems. For example, a server
platform does not have the graphics support required for the GV STRATUS application, so some
complex graphic displays, such as overlay transport controls, do not appear. In these cases use the
application for basic system test purposes only.
1. Find test applications according to your system design, as follows:
•
GV STRATUS system (Express) with no K2 SAN:
•
K2 Summit systems — K2 AppCenter
•
GV STRATUS Express server — SiteConfig, GV STRATUS Control Panel, and GV
STRATUS applications. All applications for test purposes only.
•
GV STRATUS system (A1, B1, C1) with a K2 SAN:
•
K2 Summit systems — K2 AppCenter
•
The K2 SAN's control point PC — SiteConfig and GV STRATUS Control Panel
applications. Also the GV STRATUS application, for test purposes only.
2. Verify the state of your system at first power up, as follows:
•
GV STRATUS systems ship from Grass Valley with network configuration set to a workgroup
named GRASS VALLEY.
•
All Windows operating system devices are a part of the GRASS VALLEY workgroup, with
the same user groups, accounts, and passwords.
•
If your system has a GV STRATUS Express server, your site's GV STRATUS licenses
(SabreTooth) are installed on that server. Otherwise they are installed on the GV STRATUS
server with role of Common Services.
•
In the GV STRATUS Control Panel application, all licenses are assigned to the user group
Administrators, which includes the user GVAdmin.
•
In the GV STRATUS Control Panel application, for your highest level license, all roles are
assigned to the user GVAdmin.
