Opening Storage Utility Independently

Do not open Storage Utility independently unless there is a problem that prevents you from opening it through AppCenter.

Open the Storage Utility shortcut on the Windows desktop or from the Windows Start Menu at Programs | Grass Valley | Storage Utility. A dialog box opens in which you specify the machine to connect to with Storage Utility.
Note: Make sure you are connecting to a stand-alone K2 system. You should never connect Storage Utility directly to a K2 client that uses shared storage.
Enter the name or IP address of the K2 system for which you intend to use Storage Utility. If you are opening Storage Utility on a local K2 system, enter the name of that K2 system. Click OK. The Storage Utility logon dialog box opens.
Log on to the Storage Utility with GVAdmin user name, which includes administrative privileges. Administrator-level permission is necessary for most Storage Utility operations. Storage Utility opens.
For user name, you might need to enter the machine name as the domain to successfully log in.
If you are connecting from a control point PC, you should verify that you are connected to the correct K2 system. To verify this, use the Identify feature to flash the disks.
