Making a new media file system on a K2 Summit system
If your SNFS file system name is currently “default”, when you make a new file system the name changes to “gvfs_hostname”, where hostname is the name of the stand-alone K2 system. Also, Storage Utility creates unique disk labels, which is a requirement for compatibility with Dyno PA.
- Click Tools | Make New File System.
-
If online, messages appear “…offline mode now?” and “…continue?”.
Click
Yes to put the system in offline mode.
AppCenter channels go offline. The Configuration File window
opens.
- You can view media file system settings, but do not change settings unless instructed to do so by a documented procedure or by Grass Valley Support. Click Accept. A “Making new file system. Please wait” message box displays progress.
- When a message “Succeeded to make the new file system. The server will be restarted now” appears, click OK to restart.
- If the operation fails to make a new file system, re-initialize the file system first. To re-initialize, click Tools | Re-initialize File System and repeat all steps in this topic to make the new file system.
If you have Macintosh systems accessing the stand-alone K2 system, you should check that the SNFS file system volume is configured correctly on the Macintosh systems. Refer to K2 FCP Connect procedures in the "Installing K2 FCP Connect" section of the K2 Topic Library.
