Modifying K2 client control network settings

To modify the hostname or IP address of a K2 client, use the following procedure. Refer to other procedures for the details of individual steps.

Whenever you modify control network settings or FTP/streaming network settings on any device, you must then redeploy the hosts file if that is your name resolution mechanism.

  1. Make sure you know the load balancing (bandwidth) parameters currently set for the K2 client in the K2Config application. You must reconfigure these parameters later in this procedure.
  2. In SiteConfig, remove the K2 client.
  3. In the K2Config application, remove the K2 client from the K2 SAN.
  4. In SiteConfig, add the K2 client to a K2 SAN as follows:
    1. In the Network Configuration tree view, add the client as a placeholder device next to existing clients.
    2. Discover devices.
    3. Identify the K2 client you are adding.
    4. Assign the discovered K2 client to placeholder K2 client.
    5. Verify that networks are assigned and planned network interface settings applied.
  5. Edit hosts files or other name resolution mechanisms for all the devices of the K2 SAN. You can use SiteConfig for this task.
  6. In the K2Config application, add the K2 client as a new device to the K2 SAN, load balancing the K2 client just as it was previously. This is important, as you want the K2Config application to assign it to the same available bandwidth on the same iSCSI or LAN Connect target as previously.
