3. Assign a control network IP address and configure other network settings for the K2 client. Use
SiteConfig for this step. The two control ports are teamed, so even if are making a connection
to port 1 only, you must configure network settings for the Control Team.
4. Optionally, use SiteConfig to configure media (iSCSI) networks at this time. You can use either
SiteConfig or K2Config to configure media networks. If you use SiteConfig, then you must open
the relevant page in K2Config so that K2Config reads the settings in from the system you are
adding as a SAN client. This also allows you to verify the media network configuration in the
context of K2Config.
5. Configure SNMP properties so the trap destination points to the SNMP manager PC. Use standard
Windows procedures.
Refer to related topics about Grass Valley recommended deployment and monitoring solutions
in "K2 Release Notes".
6. If the K2 client connects to the K2 SAN with a redundant Ethernet (iSCSI) fabric, install
Multi-Path I/O software.
7. Copy the K2 SAN hosts file onto the system you are adding as a SAN client. You can use
SiteConfig for this task.
Installing Multi-Path I/O Software
If a K2 Summit system with K2 software version lower than 9.0, before doing this task make sure
the write filter is disabled.
The following procedure is required for shared storage K2 clients that have their Gigabit Media
ports connected to the two iSCSI Media networks. This configuration is used for redundant K2
SANs. The procedure is also required on K2 Media Servers on a redundant nearline SAN.
The files for the Multi-Path I/O software are copied on to the K2 client or K2 Media Server when
the K2 software is installed.
1. Access the Windows desktop on the computer on which you are installing MPIO.
You can do this locally with a connected keyboard, mouse, and monitor or remotely via the
Windows Remote Desktop Connection.
