Prepare for configuration

Do the following to verify systems and tools are ready for configuration:

In the GV STRATUS Control Panel, do one or both of the following:
- If your system has a K2 SAN, click Core | K2 Storage | K2 SAN Storage and verify that the information for the K2 SAN is the same information that is in K2Config. If the information is the same, it means that the Control Panel application is correctly reading the information from the K2Config application.
- If your system has a standalone K2 Summit system, click Core | K2 Storage | K2 Standalone Storage and verify that the information for the K2 Summit system is the same information that is in SiteConfig. If the information is the same, it means that the Control Panel application is correctly reading the information from the SiteConfig application.
From each machine in the GV STRATUS system, verify that you can ping all the devices that the GV STRATUS server needs to communicate with over the control network.
For the machines that need to communicate with a Proxy server, verify you can log in to that Proxy server using the credentials that the system will be using.
If you have SMB Storage in your system, click Core | MDI Configuration | Add | Summit to add a Summit MDI for the SMB Storage server. Select Third Party Storage for the Type of K2 Device option and enter the UNC path for the connection to the SMB Storage.
If you have K2 Central Storage in your system, do the following in the GV STRATUS Control Panel:
1. Select Core | K2 Storage | K2 Central | Add. Then enter the name of the K2 Central system, select the K2 Central server and K2 clients for the system, and click Save.
2. Click Core | MDI Configuration | Add | Summit to add a Summit MDI for the K2 Central server. Select K2 Central for the Type of K2 Device option and enter user credentials to connect to the K2 Central.

Begin by configuring STRATUS Core Services settings.
