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.
