Working on the media file system and database
Use the procedures in this section when doing configuration or service work on the media file system
or the media database of an existing K2 SAN.
Checking the media file system
Prerequisites are as follows:
• You must access Storage Utility (via the K2Config application login) with permissions equivalent
to K2 administrator or higher.
• When you access Storage Utility, the K2 SAN must be offline.
• All iSCSI clients and K2 clients in the K2 SAN must be offline.
• K2 Media Servers with role of file system/metadata server, both primary and redundant, must
be powered up but offline.
This procedure checks the media file system but retains current media files.
NOTE: This procedure can take 20 hours or more on a large SAN. Do not start this process
unless you have adequate time set aside.
