Additional information Task flow context and policies Operation
— Use SiteConfig for IP address changes. Then in
K2Config, click on the changed device's
network configuration node. This refreshes the
K2Config view of IPs from the device. Change IP address (except
address of TOE on K2
Media Server)
— For TOE IP changes and/or TOE card removal,
use K2Config. Change IP address of TOE
on K2 Media Server
— Use SiteConfig to recreate the site using the
appropriate redundancy models and configure
network and deploy software. Remove K2 SAN
from K2Config. Import site into K2Config.
Configure using K2Config. Modify K2 SAN
redundancy - redundant to
non-redundant or vice
versa
About Control Panel, SiteConfig, and K2Config settings
During system commissioning or system reconfiguration, the SiteConfig and K2Config applications
are first used to set up or modify K2 SAN and network configurations. The GV STRATUS Control
Panel application is then used to complete the setup of the GV STRATUS system-wide workflow
components.
The GV STRATUS Control Panel application imports the configuration information and populates
the GV STRATUS view of the available K2 systems. For example, information about K2 SANs
comes from K2Config while information about standalone K2 Summit systems comes from
SiteConfig. The information transfer is uni-directional, where the GV STRATUS Control Panel
application imports the SiteConfig/K2Config generated configurations.
Use of the GV STRATUS Control Panel application requires the GV STRATUS Core server to be
running. If, during maintenance or commissioning, SiteConfig and K2Config are used to setup or
modify systems while the GV STRATUS Core server is turned off, it is important to synchronize
K2Config information to GV STRATUS Control Panel before attempting to use the GV STRATUS
Control Panel application.
NOTE: While the GV STRATUS Control Panel application allows you to enter device names
and other values as free-form text, it is not recommended for use at customer sites as manual
entry can result in text errors.
Synchronizing K2Config information to GV STRATUS Control Panel
The K2Config application writes its configuration file to the GV STRATUS server that hosts the
Control Panel Service. Typically this is the GV STRATUS Core server. If the Control Panel Service
is running, the K2Config application automatically does this whenever you change K2 SAN
information. In most cases, this automatic operation should be sufficient. For example, when you
add or remove a K2 SAN, the K2Config application adds or removes that K2 SAN in the configuration
file that is on the Control Panel Service host. If the configuration file does not already exist on the
Control Panel Service host, the file is created. If the file already exists, the K2 SAN is added or
remove in the configuration file, but any information in the configuration file about other K2 SANs
is not removed or modified.
