Grass Valley SiteConfig Migration Instructions - Manual (Page 37)

SiteConfig knows what software should be installed for each software role, and deploys
the software from a software package accordingly. SiteConfig matches managed
package roles with device roles in order to generate appropriate deployment tasks for
the actual software deployment activities.
Qualifying software roles
Check software as installed and configured on your actual system devices and make
sure that what SiteConfig expects, as defined by software roles on the placeholder
device, matches what is on the actual device.
1. For each device, do the following:
a) Refer to qualifications for managed devices and identify the software roles, if
any, that need special attention.
b) In SiteConfig Software Deployment | Devices tree view, expand the placeholder
device and identify the roles that SiteConfig expects to find on the actual device.
c) At the managed device, check the software currently installed and match it to
the software roles on the placeholder device in SiteConfig.
2. If you identify software on the actual device that is not installed or not configured
as SiteConfig expects, when you develop your system description, do the following:
a) For the placeholder device to which you intend to assign that actual device,
remove the roles that do not match the software on the actual device.
b) Add software roles to the placeholder device as necessary to match the software
on the actual device.
