14. In the K2Config application, do the following for each K2 Media Server with role of iSCSI bridge
to verify that you see the correct number of drives:
a) On the
iSCSI Bridge Server Configuration
page, click
View Target Drives
and proceed as follows:
• If you see all drives, both old and new, no further sub-steps are necessary. Skip to the next
step in this procedure.
• If some drives are listed as unexposed, continue with the remaining sub-steps in this step.
b) Click
Check
.
c) Restart the K2 Media Server.
d) Repeat this step to make sure you now see the correct number of drives.
15. Monitor the Restripe Utility.
On a file system with a large amount of existing media, this can take days.
NOTE: Do not stop the FTP server once the restripe process begins.
a) Record system information
Make sure you keep diagrams and other on-site documentation up to date.

If you answer “Yes” to the dialog box that asks about restriping existing media, after the bandwidth
expansion process completes, Storage Utility exits with a special code. On receiving the special exit
code, the K2 System Configuration application sets the current date in the registry of the K2 Media
Server that takes the role of FTP server.
When the FTP server restarts, the Restripe Utility automatically opens. The Restripe Utility reads
the date set in the registry, finds clips and files created before that date, and restripes the clips and
files, one at a time.
1. You can monitor the Restripe Utility in the following ways:
• While the Restripe Utility is running, it is represented by an icon in the system tray. You can
right-click this icon and open the Restripe Utility window.
• The Restripe Utility window reports first on the progress of K2 clips being restriped, then on
the progress of files being restriped.
• Click the Report button for a list of clips and files that failed to be restriped, if any.
• When the Restripe Utility completes its processes, it reports its results to
C:\profile\RestripeResult.txt . Open this file in Notepad to verify successful results.
