K2 Media Server failover with Control team failover behavior
If the following system connection or component fails to respond to network communication:
Then the following failover behavior occurs:
- The media file system (SNFS) and media database on K2 Media Server “A” fail over and K2 Media Server “B” becomes the active media file system/metadata server.
- All K2 SAN-attached systems drop communication on the “A” media port and begin using the “B” media port, finding a path through GigE switch “B” to K2 Media Server “B”. All K2 SAN-attached systems use an iSCSI or LAN Gateway adapter on the “B” K2 Media Server to provide access to the Fibre Channel connected RAID storage.
- For all K2 SAN-attached systems, communication fails on the control port, so the control team fails over and communication begins on the other control port.
- For all K2 SAN-attached systems, control communication finds a path through GigE switch “B” to K2 Media Server “B”.
