Configuring K2 software deployment

Take the following into consideration when using SiteConfig to deploy K2 SAN software.

You typically configure one deployment group for K2 clients and one deployment group for K2
Media Servers. This allows you to target and sequence software deployment tasks to the different
types of devices.

You typically upgrade K2 Media Servers first, then K2 Media Clients.

Always follow detailed steps in K2 Release Notes for the version of software to which you are
upgrading.

Use the following topics to manage software deployment on a K2 SAN.
