When configuring editors on a K2 SAN with 1 Gig TOEs, do not assign editors and K2 clients
(K2 Summit or K2 Media Client) to the same TOE. Instead, assign editors to their own TOE.
Assigning a SAN client to different FTP server
If your K2 SAN has multiple K2 Media Servers that take the role of FTP server, such as when you
have one or more options NH servers, you can change the FTP assignment of a SAN client so that
it uses a different FTP server. This is helpful if one of the FTP servers requires service work or
otherwise becomes unavailable. In this case, you might want a SAN client assigned to that FTP
server to use a different FTP server, so that its FTP access can continue.
1. From the Control Point PC, open the K2Config application.
2. For each SAN client, open the Media Database page.
3. Identify the SAN clients assigned to the FTP server that is about to become unavailable.
4. For those K2 clients, click
Change Server
.
A message box appears that asks if you are sure you want to change the FTP server.
5. In the message box, click
Yes
.
The K2Config application finds the FTP server with the most available FTP bandwidth and
re-assigns the K2 client to that FTP server.
6. On each SAN client for which you changed the FTP server assignment, restart the client. This
puts the change into effect, so that the next time the SAN client needs FTP access, it uses the
newly assigned FTP server.
Powering on/off a SAN client
As long as the K2 SAN remains operational, you can use the standard power on and power off
procedures appropriate for the SAN client. When a SAN client goes offline or comes online it does
not disrupt the K2 SAN.
However, if you are powering down or otherwise taking the K2 SAN itself out of service, you must
follow the correct SAN power down procedure. You must first stop all media access on your SAN
clients to ensure that they do not cause error conditions. You can power off the SAN clients or take
them offline using the K2Config application.
When powering up the K2 SAN, power on the SAN clients last so that they can verify their media
storage as part of their start up processes.
Taking a SAN client offline
1. Stop all media operations on the device. This includes, play, record, and transfer operations.
