GRASS VALLEY K2 SAN, Installation And Service Manual

Page: 55 / 346

If you have other iSCSI clients, such as GV STRATUS high-resolution clients, that have just one
iSCSI connection and one control connection, approximately half of the clients should be connected
to switch A and half of the clients should be connected to switch B. In a failover event, only the
clients connected to one of the switches will remain operational, so make connections accordingly.
Connect the client’s iSCSI connection to one of the media ports on a switch and the client’s control
connection to one of the control ports on the same switch.
If you have more than one optional NH10GE K2 Media Servers, balance servers between switch A
and switch B.
