Adding a generic client device
Prerequisites for adding a generic client to an existing K2 SAN are as follows:
• You must be logged in to the K2Config application with permissions equivalent to K2
administrator or higher.
• The devices of the K2 SAN do not need to be offline, and there is no restart of devices required.
1. In SiteConfig, add the client device to the appropriate group and verify that it is communicating
correctly on networks.
2. In the K2Config application tree view, select the name of the K2 SAN, which is the top node of
the storage system tree.
3. Click
Add Device
. The Add Device dialog box opens.
4. Select the type of client you are adding.
5. Click
OK
. The new client appears in the tree view.
6. Configure the client as appropriate. Refer to the documentation for the device.
Enter the RVIO value as provided by Grass Valley. Do not attempt to calculate the RVIO value
on your own.
When configuring editors on a K2 SAN with 1 Gig TOEs, do not assign editors and K2 clients
(K2 Summit or K2 Media Client) to the same TOE. Instead, assign editors to their own TOE.
Assigning a SAN client to different FTP server
Before doing this task on a K2 Summit system, make sure the write filter is disabled on the K2
Summit system.
If your K2 SAN has multiple K2 Media Servers that take the role of FTP server, such as when you
have one or more options NH servers, you can change the FTP assignment of a SAN client so that
it uses a different FTP server. This is helpful if one of the FTP servers requires service work or
otherwise becomes unavailable. In this case, you might want a SAN client assigned to that FTP
server to use a different FTP server, so that its FTP access can continue.
1. From the Control Point PC, open the K2Config application.
2. For each SAN client, open the Media Database page.
3. Identify the SAN clients assigned to the FTP server that is about to become unavailable.
4. For those K2 clients, click
Change Server
.
A message box appears that asks if you are sure you want to change the FTP server.
5. In the message box, click
Yes
.
The K2Config application finds the FTP server with the most available FTP bandwidth and
re-assigns the K2 client to that FTP server.
6. On each SAN client for which you changed the FTP server assignment, restart the client. This
puts the change into effect, so that the next time the SAN client needs FTP access, it uses the
newly assigned FTP server.
