Configuring Summit MDI settings: Required for SAN

All systems with one or more K2 SANs require this process.

If you received your system pre-configured from Grass Valley, your Summit MDI settings are already configured so you can skip these tasks. Otherwise, work through this section sequentially to configure your Summit MDI settings.

In the Control Panel application, open Summit MDI Configuration settings.
Designate one of the SAN-attached K2 Summit systems to be the managed device for the entire K2 SAN storage system. Configure a Summit MDI for only that K2 Summit system on the K2 SAN.
- If you have no other K2 Summit systems, neither standalone systems nor K2 SAN systems, when you configure the Port field, accept the default value. If required by your system design, you can configure a port number in the allowed range.
- If you have multiple standalone K2 Summit systems, multiple K2 SAN systems, or a combination of standalone and K2 SAN systems, each system must have its own Summit MDI.

Configure as follows:

Setting or button	Description
MDI Type	The Managed Device Interface (MDI) type to which these settings apply.
MDI Name	A name for this instance of the MDI type. Do not use spaces in the MDI name.
Hostname of device running the MDI	The name of the GV STRATUS server that hosts this MDI.
Port number	The process port for this instance of the MDI type. Each instance must have its own process port. Port numbers must be in range 9160-9169.
Type of K2 device	Specifies either SAN-attached K2 Summit system or Standalone K2 Summit system. When SAN is selected, settings are as follows.
SAN Name	The name of the K2 SAN, as named in K2Config. You can also enter the name of third party storage device, if you have them in your operation.
Primary Device	The SAN-attached K2 Summit system designated to be the managed device for the entire K2 SAN storage system. Or the managed device for the third party storage system in your operation.
Maximum concurrent transfers	The maximum number of concurrent transfers allowed. The maximum is set in K2Config. You may select the maximum or a lesser number. Refer to your system design.
User Name	The user name that this MDI uses to access the K2 Summit system. This is the internal system account, which by default is GVAdmin.
Domain	If on a domain, the domain that manages the account that this MDI uses to access the K2 Summit system.
Password	The password that this MDI uses to access the K2 Summit system. Note: Do not enter a domain or otherwise modify account settings except under the supervision of qualified Grass Valley Support personnel. Extensive system configuration is required to achieve a working GV STRATUS system.
FTP Server Name	The FTP server name for the remote K2 Summit system. For the typical system where there is a separate FTP network, this is the name of the K2 SAN's FTP server with the `_he0` suffix added. The `_he0` suffix specifies the FTP network.
FTP User Account	The FTP user name for the K2 Summit system this MDI accesses. Typically this is `movie`.
FTP Password	The FTP password for the K2 Summit system this MDI accesses. When this field is blank the system automatically uses the default password.

Click Save.
If you changed MDI settings, you must restart the GV STRATUS Core server system and the K2 Summit system. If SAN MDI settings, you must restart the entire K2 SAN system, including K2 Media Servers, attached K2 Summit systems, and other SAN clients.
If you are changing multiple K2 Summit MDI settings, you can make all those settings first before restarting these systems. Restarting the systems once is sufficient for multiple K2 Summit MDI settings changes.
If you have multiple K2 SAN systems, repeat steps to configure an MDI for each K2 SAN system on your GV STRATUS system.

Next, configure Proxy Encoder settings.
