Access K2 storage from workstation

On a Windows operating system workstation, do the following:
1. If the workstation is not connected to the K2 SAN as an iSCSI client, map the V: drive through Windows Explorer.
2. Select Reconnect at logon.
On a Macintosh operating system workstation, connect to the K2 SAN via CIFS/SMB mount.
Adobe Premiere connectivity to the K2 SAN storage is only supported via CIFS/SMB. Currently, iSCSI and Fiber Channel connections are not supported.

Note: K2-FCP-Connect license is not required for this connection.
1. To connect to the K2 SAN media volume, mount the V: drive as follows:
  1. Launch the Terminal and log on as Administrator.
  2. Navigate to /Volumes: by entering the following command: cd ../volumes
  3. Create a new V drive using this command: mkdir V
  4. Mount the V drive using this command: mount_smbfs //administrator@name-of-K2SAN/V V/
  5. Enter the administrator password.
  The V drive is mounted at ../volumes/V/
  
  You can check the content of the V volume by entering this command: Volumes Administrator$ cd V
  
  Then followed by this command: V Administrator$ ls
  
  All folders inside the V volume will be displayed.
2. You can also click the mounted V volume icon on the desktop to access the V volume and its content.
