Page: 305 / 346

6. Start up the RAID equipment.
7. Start up the primary K2 Media Server.
If there are multiple K2 Media Servers, this is the server that takes the role of media file system
server. On a redundant K2 SAN, this is the server functioning as primary when the system was
last powered down.
8. From the control point PC, open the K2Config application and launch Storage Utility.
Make sure that versions are correct and consistent on both new and existing RAID storage devices.
9. Verify versions of controller microcode and disk firmware. Update if necessary.
Make sure that versions are compatible on both new and existing disks and RAID storage devices.
10. Bind RANKs using the new disks.
Wait for the binding process to complete.
Do not unbind or bind existing RANKs. Doing so destroys all data. If in doubt, flash drive lights
to identify disks.
11. Close Storage Utility.
12. Restart the primary K2 Media Server.
Do not use the standard startup processes here. Just start up the server and wait until the Windows
desktop appears. On a redundant K2 SAN, do not use Server Control Panel or manually start.
13. Check the Windows Device Manager to verify that the server “sees” both the old RANKs and
the new RANKs.
14. Start up the remaining K2 Media Servers that are connected to the K2 SAN.
Do not use the standard startup processes here. Just start up the server(s) and wait until the
Windows desktop appears. On a redundant K2 SAN, do not use Server Control Panel or manually
start.
