Networking tips
Networking tips
• Before beginning network configuration, determine the IP addresses and names
needed for the machines in your K2 system. Work with the network administrator
at your facility to have those IP addresses and names available for your use.
• Establish a consistent convention for machine names and IP addresses. It is
recommended that you embed a root name or other unique identifier for this
particular K2 Storage System in the computer name. Also, a common convention
for IP addresses is to use a numerical pattern or sequence in the IP addresses to
indicate device-types and/or ports, as in the following example:
NOTE: This example assumes a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
Example of Nearline storage system names and IP addresses
Setting up host tables
The hosts file is used by the control network and the streaming/FTP network to
determine the IP address of devices on the network when only a the device name
(hostname) is given. The steps that follow describe how to edit the hosts file located
at C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows XP and Windows 2003
Server operating system computers. If you include the names and addresses of all the
devices on the network, then you can copy the same file onto all the other K2 devices
instead of editing the hosts file on each K2 device.
