Accessing Storage Utility

  • You must open Storage Utility from within the K2Config application.
Access permissions are passed from the K2Config application to the Storage Utility as it opens, so make sure that you are logged in with sufficient permissions.
You can open Storage Utility in the following ways:
  • In the K2Config application tree view, select the name of the K2 SAN, which is the top node of the storage system tree. Then click the Storage Utility button. Storage Utility opens. In this case the connection to the RAID storage devices is via the K2 Media Server first configured, depending on the level of the SAN.
  • In the K2Config application tree view, open the node for a K2 Media Server and select the File System Server node to open its property page. On the property page click Launch Storage Utility. Storage Utility opens. In this case the connection to the RAID storage devices is via the selected K2 Media Server. Use this method for nearline SANs.
Note: Do not run Storage Utility on a shared storage K2 client.
Note: Do not run Storage Utility as a stand-alone application, separate from the K2Config application. To maintain a valid K2 SAN all storage configuration must be controlled and tracked through the K2Config application.
