GV Orbit Server Installation
Introduction
This chapter provides information about system requirements, items shipped with your
GV Orbit Server and it will guide you through GV Orbit Server installation.
Getting Organized / Unpacking
Required Materials
Your GV Orbit Server package includes the following:
• One GV Orbit Server
• Installation hardware and rails
• Accessory tray containing:
• Dell PowerEdge documentation
• 2 × Power cords
• GV Orbit documentation folder containing:
• Welcome letter, with setup and configuration checklist.
In addition to the above, you will need the following (not supplied):
• One 1GBase-T Ethernet switch having enough ports for the primary management
network:
• The primary management port for each GV Orbit Server GB1 port. See Port
Identification, on page 15.
• The server’s Enterprise (iDRAC) port for each GV Orbit Server if you have made a
BIOS setting change on the GV Orbit Server. See Bridging iDRAC onto a LAN on
Motherboard (LOM) Port to Save Cabling, on page 20.
• Client PCs.
• Panel devices.
• Production equipment that uses a management port for configuration and control
(the equipment uses out of band signaling).
• Connection to all high-bit rate media network switches, to the optional iDRAC
network switch, and to the optional secondary management network switch.
Note: The use of multiple network switches is preferred. The theory is that
should a network fail, then this will only degrade system availability and
avoid a full system failure.

Admin Guide Cabling and Configuring the GV Orbit Server to support SMPTE ST 2022-7 Redundancy
Cabling and Configuring the GV Orbit Server to support
SMPTE ST 2022-7 Redundancy
To make streaming more reliable over an IP network, the implementation of
SMPTE ST 2022-7 seamless protection switching depends on stream redundancy. This
protection scheme transmits two identical SMPTE ST 2110-20 packet streams over
physically separate network routes (shown as Red LAN / A Network and Blue LAN /
B Network in the figure below), so that if one network goes down, the second network
takes over. This process is seamless because switching between the streams is
instantaneous and does not impact content.
The following figure shows two GV Orbit Servers in a cluster configuration where GV Orbit
Server A and GV Orbit Server B provide failover protection for each other. See also Cluster
Task, on page 36.
PREREQUISITES:
• At least two network switches must be used for this application. Contact Grass Valley
for more information about switch compatibility. See Grass Valley Technical Support,
on page 60. These switches must be configured to be used with SMPTE ST 2022-7. See
the fabric configuration documentation supplied with the switch. For example, at
minimum, subnets and IP address ranges must be set.
• The connected network must have a PTP grandmaster server clock on its domain.

Getting Started
Introduction
This chapter shows how to get the GV Orbit Server up and running for the first time.
Configuring the GV Orbit Server’s BIOS and Management Network
IP Settings
The first time you power up the GV Orbit Server, you must configure the GV Orbit Server’s
management network settings. This allows you to connect to the GV Orbit Server’s admin
interface. Once you have access to the GV Orbit Server’s admin interface, you then
configure the remaining network interfaces as necessary.
GV Orbit Server is shipped with no default IP Address. Set the IP address through the
server’s console menu. This is accessed by connecting a keyboard and monitor directly to
the GV Orbit Server.
About the Server Enterprise Network iDRAC
The Server Enterprise Network iDRAC is used to connect to the server’s motherboard
management interface. Using this connection reduces the need for physical access to the
GV Orbit Server. iDRAC alerts administrators about server hardware level issues and enables
them to perform remote system management. For more information about iDRAC, refer to
the Dell EMC PowerEdge XR2 Installation and Service Manual; see Related Documentation, on
page 5. See First-Time Start-up Configuration, on page 20 to enable it.
Should you choose to not connect the iDRAC port to your network, you must be prepared
to connect a keyboard, mouse, and monitor directly to the server for emergency
maintenance procedures, should this be necessary, under the supervision of Grass Valley
Technical Support.

Bridging iDRAC onto a LAN on Motherboard (LOM) Port to Save Cabling Admin Guide
Bridging iDRAC onto a LAN on Motherboard (LOM) Port to Save Cabling
In the server’s BIOS, there is the NIC Selection iDRAC setting to select which port is to be
used for the iDRAC service.
Furthermore, in the server’s BIOS, there is the Failover Network iDRAC setting to select
which port is to be used should the above network fail.
For more information about iDRAC, refer to the Dell Integrated Dell Remote Access
Controller 9 User's Guide; see Related Documentation, on page 5.
First-Time Start-up Configuration
The first time you start-up the GV Orbit Server, you need to configure the Management
Ethernet port interface. At this time it is recommended to enable iDRAC to allow remote
server maintenance. Once this is complete, the remaining Ethernet ports can be configured
through the GV Orbit Server admin’s interface.
Proceed as follows.
1 Install the GV Orbit Server frame in its designated rack position.
2 Connect a monitor, keyboard, and optionally a mouse to the GV Orbit Server (front or
rear panel connectors can be used).
3 Connect the power cords to the GV Orbit Server frame, and then turn the power on.
The power switch is located on the front panel.
The GV Orbit Server starts up. As the GV Orbit Server’s power on tests verify the
server’s hardware, an option to configure the BIOS appears.

Dedicated Uses the server’s iDRAC network Ethernet port for the iDRAC service.
The server’s iDRAC network Ethernet port must then be connected to
the Server Enterprise Network.
LOM0
LOM1
Uses one of the server’s built-in Ethernet ports LOM0 (GB1) or LOM1
(GB2) to access the iDRAC service through the management network.
Setting this option will avoid the extra cabling necessary to connect
to the iDRAC port to a switch.
