These Summit MDI settings for standalone and/or Summit
MDI settings for SAN are required on all GV STRATUS systems.
This type of MDI manages a K2 Summit system. This topic
describes settings when the type of system is specified as Standalone.
To locate these settings, click Core | MDI Configuration | Add | Summit
When you have multiple
Summit
MDIs, they must each have their own process port number. For this purpose,

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.
The MDI name
could be renamed later, if desired.
Note: After renaming the Summit MDI, you must restart the Render Engine server and its
services. Then, reconfigure other settings on the
Control Panel (such as Send Destinations, Rules, K2
Central storage, etc.) to use the new Summit 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 ,
Standalone K2 Summit system, K2 Central system, or Third
Party Storage system. When Standalone is selected, settings
are as follows. |
| Select K2
Standalone |
The standalone K2
Summit system that this MDI accesses. |
| UNC Path |
The UNC path to the standalone K2 Summit system. |
| 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.
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.
|
| Password
|
The
password that this MDI uses to access the K2 Summit
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. |
| 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 as designed
for your system. The number of concurrent transfers as
well as the device status can be checked once the system
is configured in Resource Monitor of the GV STRATUS Control Panel. |
| 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.
|
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.
When
adding back a previously deleted Summit MDI, you can re-sync the MDI with all
data retained in the
GV STRATUS
database by doing the following:
- Reuse the same MDI name that was previously deleted
- Reuse the same port number that was used with the deleted MDI
