Remove installation files for non-required features from the management server. This can
help save disk space on the server if you know that your organization is not going to use
certain features.
Device pack installer - must be downloaded
The device pack (containing device drivers) included in your original installation is not included on the
download website. So, if you need to reinstall the device pack or make the device pack installer
available, you must first add or publish the latest device pack installer to the Download Manager:
1. Get the newest device pack from http://www.milestonesys.com/downloads .
2. Add/publish it to the Download Manager by calling it with the --ss_registration command.
If you do not have a network connection, you can reinstall the entire recording server from the
Download Manager. The installation files for the recording server is placed locally on your computer
and in this way you automatically get a reinstall of the device pack.
Upgrade
About upgrade
This information is only relevant if you are upgrading a previous XProtect installation.
Important: Your XProtect system no longer supports Microsoft Windows XP.
When you upgrade, all components, except the management server database, are automatically
removed and replaced. This includes the drivers of your device pack.
The management server database contains the entire system configuration (recording server
configurations, camera configurations, rules, and so on). As long as you do not remove the
management server database, no reconfiguration of your system configuration is needed, even if you
may want to configure some of the new features in the new version.
