Software Upgrade

n
You do not need to shut down the client if they can continue to work offline. AirSpeeds can
continue to capture to their internal drives and editing systems can edit as long as they are not
using workspaces.
3. If running a System Director Resiliency configuration, stop the Standby System Director
using the ISIS Control Panel to prevent failover during the upgrade.
Update additional Engines after your Active and Standby System Directors are updated.
4. Stop the Active System Director.
5. Load the new software kit (new version) on the System Director from the USB flash drive.
6. Double-click the AvidISISSetup.exe file in the software kit.
The installer detects the existing version of the installed software and displays the
components that need to be upgraded in the splash screen.
7. Select the appropriate installer from the Software Package menu (Engine/System Director or
Engine only) for the enclosure you are installing on.
8. Click Apply.
n
The installer automatically stops the System Director service and uninstalls the earlier version
of software.
n
Direct Connect configurations need at least one client connected before the Storage Manager
recognizes a valid configuration. With no clients connected, the status is invalid and displays
“Not Connected.” As soon as you connect an operational client, all disk offline errors are
cleared.
9. Follow the screen prompts accepting the defaults and License agreement.
10. Click Finish to complete the upgrade.
This requires the system to reboot. Wait for the system to fully reboot, then log in and check
the System Director status to make sure the upgrade was successful. If not, call Avid
support.
11. Only if the first System Director upgrade was successful, repeat step
5 to step 10 on the
second System Director if applicable.
12. Update your Avid ISIS client software (see the Avid ISIS Client guide).

Starting with Avid ISIS v4.5, the software installers automatically update and configure the
Myricom driver for the 10 Gb Myricom Ethernet adapter board installed in all Engines. The
