Modifying K2 Media Server media network settings

Use this procedure if you must change the IP address assigned to an iSCSI or LAN Connect interface on a K2 Media Server. This should not be necessary for a normally operating system and in fact it should be avoided if possible.

Put all the devices of the K2 SAN in an offline or out of service state. Refer to the appropriate procedures in this chapter.
Open the K2 System Configuration (K2Config) application on the control point PC.
In K2Config, make sure you know the load balancing bandwidth parameters for each of the iSCSI or LAN Connect clients, as you must re-enter these values later in this procedure.
In K2Config, remove all iSCSI or LAN Connect clients from the K2 SAN.
To do this, select each iSCSI or LAN Connect client and click Remove.
Use SiteConfig to change the IP address. Make sure that the IP address is within the range designated for the network.
Restart the K2 Media Server.
In the K2Config tree view, expand the node for the media server that has the interface adapter for which you need to change the IP address and select one of the following:
- Click the iSCSI Bridge node.
- Click the LAN Gateway node.
The configuration page opens.
In K2Config, identify the network adapter for which you are changing the IP address. Since you changed it in SiteConfig, K2Config should now display the new IP address.
In K2Config, add each iSCSI or LAN Connect client again and reconfigure. Make sure you add them in the correct order (highest bandwidth first) and enter the same bandwidth values (load balancing) for each client as the values originally configured.
Place the devices of the K2 SAN back online.
