Upgrading Omneon MediaGrid Firmware
To upgrade the Omneon MediaGrid firmware, first upgrade the ContentDirectors, then the
ContentServers, and then the ContentBridges. To avoid loss of service, upgrade the ContentDirectors
one at a time, as described in the steps that follow. After all the ContentDirectors have been upgraded,
you can then upgrade the ContentServers and ContentBridges.
To select a new Omneon MediaGrid firmware version and install it on a ContentDirector:
1. Click the Home tab to display the Options page.
Provide the following credentials only if -copy = “across”
• -u2: User name of the destination ContentDirector
• -p2: Password for the destination ContentDirector
• -s2: Name or IP address of the destination ContentDirector
Note the following examples:
mgcopy -s -u john -p password -copy deep -
srcfile /fs/dir1/file1 -dstfile /fs/dir2/file2
mgcopy -s -u john -p password -copy across -
s2 -u2 john2 -p2 password2 -srcfile
/fs/dir1/f1 -dstfile /fs2/dir1/f2
2. From the left-hand column, click the Firmware Selection icon to display the Firmware Version
