Modifying K2 Media Server unassigned (unmanaged) interface

  • The system description has a K2 Media Server that is a placeholder device.
  • The placeholder device must have one or more unmanaged network interfaces.

Use this task to modify managed network interfaces on a K2 SAN device as follows:

  • K2 Media Server
  • NH K2 Media Server

For the K2 Media Server, do not configure the Fibre Channel interface. SiteConfig does not manage this interface. It is represented in SiteConfig only to complete the description of the K2 Media Server.

  1. In the Network Configuration | Devices tree view, select a K2 Media Server placeholder device.

    The interfaces for that device are displayed in the interfaces list view.

  2. In the interfaces list view, right-click an interface and select Edit.

    The Unmanaged Network Interface Details dialog box opens.



  3. Configure the settings for the interface as follows:
    Setting... For control network interface
    Network Control is required
    IP Address The IP address for this interface on the network. Required.
    Interface Name The device host name. Required.
    Set to Default Not recommended. Sets the interface name to SiteConfig default convention, based on the root Site name and device-type.
    ...use Interface Name/Aliases in Host Files... Unselected is required. Since not selected, the default behavior occurs, which is to use the device host name in the hosts file.
    Aliases Not allowed
    DNS Suffix Allowed, if applicable to the network. The DNS suffix is added to the interface name.

    Setting... For FTP/streaming network interface
    Network Streaming is required
    IP Address The IP address for this interface on the network. Required.
    Interface Name The device host name with the " _he0" suffix added is required. For example, if the host name is K2prod01, then K2prod01_he0 is required here.
    Set to Default Not recommended. Sets the interface name to SiteConfig default convention, based on the root Site name and device-type.
    ...use Interface Name/Aliases in Host Files... Selected is required
    Aliases Not allowed
    DNS Suffix Allowed, if applicable to the network. The DNS suffix is added to the interface name.

    Setting... For media (iSCSI) network interface
    Network iSCSI (non-Redundant) is required on K2 Media Server for all interfaces of type iSCSI on basic K2 SAN.
    iSCSI (Primary Redundant) is required on K2 Media Server A for all interfaces of type iSCSI on redundant K2 SAN
    iSCSI (Secondary Redundant) is required on K2 Media Server B for interfaces of type iSCSI on redundant K2 SAN
    IP Address The IP address for this interface on the network. Required.
    Interface Name Disabled, since names are excluded from the hosts file. Disregard.
    Set to Default Disabled, since names are excluded from the hosts file. Disregard.
    ...use Interface Name/Aliases in Host Files... Disabled, since names are excluded from the hosts file. Disregard.
    Aliases Disabled, since names are excluded from the hosts file. Disregard.
    DNS Suffix Disabled, since names are excluded from the hosts file. Disregard.
  4. Click OK to save settings and close.
