About custom K2 SANs
Custom systems are those that do not fit one of the pre-defined Level 2, 3, 10, 20, 30,
35, or nearline configurations. For example, a K2 SAN with Fibre Channel attached
K2 clients is considered a custom system. Custom systems that are an extension of
Level 2 or 3 are considered to be Level 4 systems. Custom systems that are an
extension of Level 10, 20, or 30 are considered to be Level 40 systems. Only qualified
Grass Valley personnel should attempt to design, install, and configure custom
systems.
This document and the other documents in the K2 documentation set are intended for
customers with one of the pre-defined SAN levels. While much of the information
also applies to custom systems, consult your Grass Valley representative before using
procedures on a custom system.
