Upgrading software and firmware in a running MediaMatrix system

If you need to update NWare and the firmware running on MediaMatrix nodes on your network, it is important to complete the steps carefully and in the correct order. This will ensure minimum disruption to the running system.

Follow the steps in this section, referring to the linked topics if you need detailed information.

1. Install the latest version of NWare on the administrator's PC. See Running the NWare installer.
2. Make sure you have access to the most recent version of the running project. If you cannot find the NWare project file, you can upload it from a node in the system where it is hosted. See Uploading a project to NWare and connecting to it.
3. Update all the out of date devices and obsolete devices. See Dealing with project compatibility issues.
4. Save the project using a new file name so that you still have a copy of the original.
5. Update the firmware on the hardware devices in the project. See Updating firmware on MediaMatrix devices.
6. Once the hardware devices have rebooted after being upgraded, deploy the updated version of the project. See Deploying a project.
