Server Control Panel

Server Control Panel allows you to monitor and control the current status of a K2 Media Server in its roles as the media file system server and the metadata server. This is especially useful for redundant K2 SANs, as you must know if a server is currently acting as primary or as backup before attempting any troubleshooting or service work.

Server Control Panel displays information about the metadata service and the media file system server primary/redundant roles.

Note: Do not click Stop or Start unless you intend to manually control the current primary/redundant roles. Using these buttons can trigger an automatic system recovery (failover) event.

To launch Server Control Panel, in the K2Config application, click the Server Control Panel button.

On the local K2 Media Server, you must log in with administrator-level privileges in order to use Server Control Panel.
