Verifying the GV I/O configuration

The required licenses have been added to the GV I/O Live Ingest and Playback Server.
For the GV I/O client of Isilon shared storage system, the V: drive of the GV I/O had been mapped to the UNC path of the Isilon hi-res media storage.
The GV I/O device had been set to Enabled mode.

Within the GV STRATUS system, do the following to verify the GV I/O Live Ingest and Playback Server is configured properly. Grass Valley recommends the GV STRATUS Control Panel is only configured on the Core server:

For GV I/O Live Ingest and Playback Server with iSCSI connection, do the following:
- Run the iSCSI Initiator on each GV I/O server before attempting to configure them in K2Config.
- Add the GV I/O server(s) as GV I/O Live Ingest & Playback devices and configure them as you would a K2 Summit client.
- Sync K2Config to the GV STRATUS Core server.
In the GV STRATUS Control Panel application, do the following:
- Verify that you can see the STRATUS GV I/O Appliance in the Core | K2 Storage | K2 Standalone Storage tab for the GV I/O standalone server.
- Verify that you can see the STRATUS GV I/O Client in the Core | K2 Storage | K2 SAN Storage tab for the GV I/O client in Isilon network-attached storage system.
- In Core | Proxy Config | Proxy Settings tab, re-select check-boxes, resave the proxy settings and verify in Test Connections tab that the STRATUS GV I/O Client Device Types are connected with the proxy server.
- In Core | MDI Configuration settings, re-save all Grass Valley Media Server MDIs with GV I/O servers attached.
- Reboot the GV STRATUS Core server and GV I/O servers for the changes to take effect.
- Set the signal feed on the SDI input of the AJA card first when connecting a video feed to the GV I/O server, .
- Then in General | Format tab, add formats according to signal formats already set to the AJA card, if they are not readily available.
- In the General | Channels | GV I/O tab, verify that the GV I/O channels are displayed. The Channel Format should be set according to signal feeds configured to each channel. Change the Channel Format setting to match the format of signal feed already connected to the channel.
- To add GV I/O channels to the Scheduler tool: In the Applications | Ingest | Channel Setup tab, add one or more GV I/O Device channels:
  - Type of device: Select either SAN Client or Standalone Client.
  - SAN Name: Choose a SAN with one or more GV I/O devices.
  - Primary Device: Select the desired GV I/O device in the drop-down list.

  - Router Destination: Select a router destination, if applicable.
  - Timecode Format: Select Time of Day.
In the GV STRATUS application, do the following:
- In the Scheduler tool, verify that GV I/O channels configured in Ingest settings of the GV STRATUS Control Panel are displayed and able to record.
To add GV I/O channels to the Channel Panel: In the Navigator panel, expand the Tools node and select Channel Panels. Right-click on the desired Channel Panel and select Open With | Inspector.
- Verify that all configured GV I/O Live Ingest and Playback Servers are displayed.
- Add one or more channels from a GV I/O Live Ingest and Playback Server.
- Verify that GV I/O channels have a … button and you can set the Timecode Source to Time of Day or a specific Start Time for each GV I/O channel.
- Verify that you can record on those GV I/O channels.
To add GV I/O servers to the GV STRATUS Rundown application: In the GV STRATUS Control Panel, go to Applications | Rundown | Media tab. Add one or more GV I/O Device as the Playout Server(s) and click Save.
