About SiteConfig
SiteConfig is Grass Valley's tool for network configuration and software deployment. SiteConfig
is a ProductFrame application. ProductFrame is an integrated platform of tools and product
distribution processes for system installation and configuration.
You can use SiteConfig as a stand-alone tool for planning and system design, even before you have
any devices installed or cabled. You can define networks, IP addresses, hostnames, interfaces, and
other network parameters. You can add devices, group devices, and modify device roles in the
system.
As you install and commission systems, SiteConfig runs on a designated PC. It discovers devices,
configures their network settings, and manages host files. SiteConfig also manages software
installations and upgrades and provides a unified software package with compatible versions for
deployment across multi-product systems.
You should use SiteConfig for network configuration and software deployment at installation and
throughout the life of the system in your facility. This enforces consistent policy and allows SiteConfig
to keep a record of changes, which makes the system easier to maintain and aids in troubleshooting
should a problem arise.
SiteConfig displays information from a system description file, which is an XML file.
K2Config
The K2 System Configuration application (K2Config) is the primary tool for configuring systems
in the category of a K2 SAN, which include online or production K2 SANs, K2 Nearline systems,
and GV STRATUS Proxy Storage systems. Once the devices of the storage system are cabled and
are communicating on the control network, you can do all the configuration required to create a
working K2 SAN using the K2Config application. When you use SiteConfig for network
configuration, you can import the SiteConfig system description file into the K2Config application
to get you started with your SAN configuration.
After your K2 SAN is initially installed and configured, if you need to reconfigure the system you
should do so using SiteConfig and the K2Config application. This enforces consistent policy and
sequencing for configuration tasks, which makes the system easier to maintain and aids in
troubleshooting should a problem arise.
