Configure fsnameservers on SNFS clients

This task applies to SAN systems with one or more SNFS servers that have had their Broadcom driver updated to version 7.0.11.0. On those SAN systems, all devices with a V: drive to the SAN's storage (all SNFS servers and SNFS clients) must have their fsnameservers file configured. This includes the following type of SAN systems:
  • An online or production K2 SAN — If the SAN's SNFS server, which is the K2 Media Server with role of media file system server (FSM), has had its Broadcom driver updated to version 7.0.11.0, then this task applies to the following SNFS clients of that SAN:
    • All K2 Summit systems attached to the K2 SAN
    • Any GV STRATUS high resolutions client PCs attached to the K2 SAN
    • Any Macintosh (K2 FCP Connect) clients attached to the K2 SAN
    • Any other SNFS client devices attached to the K2 SAN

The SNFS clients must be in an offline mode before doing this task.

You must know your SNFS client's names and IP addresses.

You must have access to the fsnameservers file that you copied from the SAN's SNFS server.

  1. On the SNFS client, login to as Administrator.
  2. Copy (overwrite) the fsnameservers file onto the device. On SNFS clients, the file's location is C:\SNFS\config\fsnameservers.
  3. Restart the SNFS client.
  4. Repeat these steps on all the SAN's SNFS client devices.
