K2 SAN prerequisites for adding clients

The following K2 SAN preparations are required to support adding SAN clients:
  • All K2 Media Servers and/or K2 RAID storage devices must be installed and cabled.
  • The control network must be operational with K2 devices communicating. At the command prompt, use the ping command to verify.
  • For basic, non-redundant K2 SANs, the media network must be operational. You can check this with the K2Config application.
  • For redundant K2 SANs, media network A and media network B must be operational. You can check this with the K2Config application.
  • K2 RAID devices must have disks bound and be configured as required for operation on the K2 SAN.
  • K2 Media Servers must be configured such that an operational media file system is present.
  • K2 Ethernet switches must be configured and have V-LANs set up.
  • The SAN to which you are adding your clients must be defined with the appropriate number and type of clients. In other words, in the K2Config application tree view you should see the clients you are about to add represented as unconfigured devices.
  • The K2 Media Server with role of file system server must be licensed as appropriate for the design of your K2 SAN.
Note: Do not run Storage Utility on a shared storage client. For shared storage, run Storage Utility only via the K2Config application.
