About deploying software for the K2 SAN
You must control the sequence of software deployment tasks and device restarts as you upgrade
software across the K2 SAN. The general sequence is to upgrade K2 Media Servers first then the
SAN-attached K2 systems. The exact steps can vary from software version to version. Make sure
you follow the task flow in the K2 Release Notes for the version of software to which you are
upgrading.
Backup and Recovery Strategies
About the recovery disk image process
On the K2 Media Server, there are three partitions on the system drive to support backup and recovery
strategies as follows:
• The C: drive is for the Windows operating system and applications.
• The D: drive is for the media file system (SNFS) and database. This allows you to restore the
Windows operating system on the C: drive, yet keep the files on the D: drive intact. You can
also restore the D: drive itself, however your backup and recovery strategy is different for
non-redundant and redundant systems, as follows:
• On non-redundant servers the media file system program, metadata, and journal files are on
the D: drive. Also the media database program is on the D: drive. Therefore if you ever have
a D: drive fault and you need to recover the data files (metadata, journal, and database), you
can only restore them to the “snap-shot” contained in the most recent disk image you created.
When you do this you restore the program files as well.
• For redundant K2 SANs, the media file system program is on the D: drive, but the metadata
and journal files are stored on the shared RAID storage. Also the media database program is
on the D: drive, but the database data files are stored on the shared RAID storage. Therefore,
if you ever have a D: drive fault, you can restore the media file system and database programs
from a recovery disk image, and then access the data files (metadata, journal, database) from
the shared RAID storage.
• The E: drive is for storing a system image of the other partitions. From the E: drive you can
restore images to the C: and D: drives.
When you receive a K2 Media Server from the factory, the machine has a generic image on the E:
drive. The generic image is not specific to the individual machine. It is generic for all machines of
that type. Some K2 Media Servers also have a system-specific image on the E: drive.
You receive a recovery CD with your K2 Media Server. This recovery CD does not contain a disk
image. Rather, the recovery CD is bootable and contains the Acronis True Image software necessary
to create and restore a disk image. This recovery CD is specifically for the Windows server operating
system which runs on the K2 Media Server. It is not for a desktop Windows operating system. Refer
to "K2 Release Notes" for compatible versions of the recovery CD.
