Chapter 3 Configuring the system

Configuration overview - K2 storage

This flowchart illustrates the major tasks required
for configuring a system that accesses K2 storage.

Before beginning this task flow make sure that the
K2 storage and iSCSI networks are set up.

Core configuration tasks are broken down into
stages. You can work through the configuration
stages in different ways, as follows:

You can also choose a combination of Basic and
Advanced paths to suit your level of
understanding and the design of the particular
system you are configuring.

This task flow assumes the use of the standard
Aurora Browse application for testing and
verification. If you are using the Aurora Edit LD
application, refer to the Aurora Edit LD Release
Notes, which you can find on the Aurora Edit LD
Installation CD.

Refer to the topics in the remainder of this chapter for detailed instructions on each task.

If you are new to the system, follow
the

Basic

path.This path allows you

to learn the system and resolve
configuration problems in stages,
with a minimal number of
configuration variables and
machines added to the system at
each stage. Then, after you have
gained the understanding to make
each stage of the system work
properly, configure the remainder of
the system and add all machines.

If you are experienced with the
system and you want the fastest
possible configuration, follow the

Advanced

path and configure the

entire system in one pass, adding all
machines at each stage.
