Chapter 2 Getting Started
Accessing Storage Utility
Grass Valley strongly recommends that you access Storage Utility by selecting
System | Storage Utility
in AppCenter. However, if you are unable to access
AppCenter, then open Storage Utility by clicking on the Storage Utility desktop icon.
For Storage Utility procedures for internal storage, refer to K2 System Guide. Refer to
the K2 SAN Installation and Service Manual to learn about Storage Utility for the K2
storage system.
CAUTION: Use the Storage Utility only as directed by a documented
procedure or by Grass Valley Support. If used improperly, the Storage
Utility can render your K2 system inoperable or result in the loss of all
your media.
K2 System Configuration
The K2 System Configuration application is the primary tool for configuring the K2
storage system. Once the devices of the storage system have the required software
installed, are cabled, and are communicating on the control network, a K2
administrator can do all the configuration required to create a working K2 storage
system using the K2 System Configuration application.
The K2 System Configuration application runs on a Control Point PC and accesses
the devices of the K2 storage system via the control network. For more information
on administering the K2 System Configuration application, see K2 SAN Installation
and Service Manual .
SiteConfig
ProductFrame is an integrated platform of tools and product distribution processes for
system installation and configuration. SiteConfig is a ProductFrame application and
it is the recommended tool for network configuration and software deployment.
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. For more information on
SiteConfig, see the SiteConfig User Manual.
