Maintenance procedures using Grass Valley
Storage Utility
Several maintenance procedures can be performed using the Grass Valley Storage
Utility.
To perform the following tasks, refer to the K2 SAN Installation and Service Manual:
• Checking RAID controller microcode version
• Loading RAID controller microcode
• Identifying disk modules prior to removal
• Downloading K2 10G Expansion disk drive firmware
• Disabling a K2 10G Expansion RAID controller for removal
• Disabling a K2 10G Expansion disk module for removal
• Configuring K2 10G Expansion network and SNMP settings
Monitoring K2 10G External RAID status using
NetCentral
You can monitor K2 10G External RAID Storage systems using Grass Valley’s
NetCentral monitoring software. Enabled by SNMP, NetCentral can continuously
monitor the storage system and send notifications if there is a problem. The SNMP
agent software required for NetCentral monitoring resides on the RAID storage
device itself. As a result, the K2 10G External RAID appears in NetCentral as a
standalone device rather than as a subsystem of the K2 client.
