Getting Started

Mirage Media Servers running First Generation MMSOS are no longer supported by Autonomic and are no longer receiving security updates and bug fixes. Follow the below instructions to determine if your MMS is running First or Second Gen MMSOS. If your MMS-2A or MMS-5A is running First Gen MMSOS, it is eligible for an operating system upgrade, which can be purchased by an Authorized Autonomic Dealer here.

  • MMS-2A

  • MMS-5A

  • SMS-2A

  • SMS-5A

The MMS-2 will only run First Gen MMSOS and cannot be upgraded to Second Gen MMSOS

Instructions

The MMS firmware is a function of the following: <Major Version>.<Minor Version>.<Date Released> . If your MMS firmware is older than 2019, please update your firmware to the latest available version.
