Checking the media file system
Prerequisites are as follows:
• You must access Storage Utility (via the K2Config application login) with permissions equivalent
to K2 administrator or higher.
• When you access Storage Utility, the K2 SAN must be offline.
• All iSCSI clients and K2 clients in the K2 SAN must be offline.
• K2 Media Servers with role of file system/metadata server, both primary and redundant, must
be powered up but offline.
This procedure checks the media file system but retains current media files.
NOTE: This procedure can take 20 hours or more on a large SAN. Do not start this process
unless you have adequate time set aside.
1. In Storage Utility, click
Tools | Check File System
.
2. A message box appears “Checking media file system. Please wait”. Observe progress.
If problems are discovered they are reported. If the check process passes, when the process is
complete a message appears to confirm success.
3. Click
OK
to dismiss the results.
4. Messages appear “…online mode now?” and “…continue?”. Do one of the following:
• Click
Yes
to put the system in online mode. This is the recommended option in most cases.
For example, even if you plan to next clean unreferenced files and/or movies, that operation
requires that the system be online, so you should put it online now. When you click Yes,
AppCenter channels go online.
• Click
No
to keep the system in offline mode. This is not recommended for most cases. Only
do this when you are sure that subsequent operations require the system to be offlline.
Your file system has been checked.
