Hey guys a heads up. This version of software won't always recognize transferred content.From GDC tech support:

Hi Stephan,

I was about to reply, this is known issue on b280. It will be fixed on the next release, I don’t have a date on that just yet but its soon. Server should rescan after playback and recognize the content, if that doesn’t happen on its own a reboot is required.

Thank You

If you took a snapshot before updating to B280 you can restore back to the last version almost instantly. I do not have any B280's loaded anywhere, fortunately...

Addendum: I just checked the GDC FTP site and Build 286 is available under the "Pilot" file. You could try that on one server and make sure it's stable, but at least take a snapshot so you can easily revert back to build 280 if need be. I have used Pilot firmware before and have not had any issues with it.

I could be wrong here but I think the going back with the disk snapshot only rolls the server back but not the IMB. Depending you could end up with a version mismatch between the server and IMB that could be incompatible.

I'd just install the new build the n that server and be done with it.

That is what I did but it is 8 of them.

Try installing it in one of them for a few days, if all seems well then do the rest of them.
