Configure GlobalSuperUser in SNFS default.cfg file on K2 Media Servers

In this task you open the media file system (SNFS) configuration file and verify/modify settings.

Do not do this task if:
  • You have already modified the configuration file with the required settings.
Do this task if:
  • The configuration file does not have the required settings.
Prerequisites for this task are as follows:
  • K2 systems must be offline

You can verify and, if necessary, modify the media file system (SNFS) configuration file and still keep your media file system intact if you carefully follow the steps in this procedure.

As an alternative to manually modifying the configuration file, if you need to make a new file system after upgrading K2 software, the required values are set automatically by the upgraded version of Storage Utility.

This task applies to the following devices:

  • K2 Media Servers with role of file system server. If a redundant SAN, you must do this task on both primary and backup K2 Media Server.
  1. On a K2 Media Server, using Notepad, open the media file system (SNFS) configuration file: The configuration file can be either D:\SNFS\config\default.cfg. or D:\SNFS\config\gvfs_hostname.cfg, where hostname is the name of the primary file system server (FSM).
  2. On a K2 Media Server, verify, and if necessary modify, settings for required values as follows:
    # *********************************************************
    # A global section for defining file system-wide parameters
    # *********************************************************
    GlobalSuperUser         Yes

    InodeDeleteMax           1000
    
    .
    
    BufferCacheSize          64M
    .

    .
    .
    InodeCacheSize           32K
    .
    ReservedSpace            No
  3. Close, and if necessary save, the SNFS configuration file.

If you made changes, the K2 system must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

The restart later in this upgrade procedure is sufficient to put the changes into effect.
