Assigning a K2 Media Client to a different FTP server
Assigning a K2 Media Client to a different FTP
server
If your K2 Storage System has multiple K2 Media Servers that take the role of FTP
server, such as when you have one or more options NH servers, you can change the
FTP assignment of a K2 Media Client so that it uses a different FTP server. This is
helpful if one of the FTP servers requires service work or otherwise becomes
unavailable. In this case, you might want a K2 Media Client assigned to that FTP
server to use a different FTP server, so that its FTP access can continue.
To change the FTP assignment of a K2 Media Client, do the following:
1. From the Control Point PC, open the K2 System Configuration application.
2. For each K2 Media Client, open the Media Database page.
3. Identify the K2 Media Clients assigned to the FTP server that is about to become
unavailable.
4. For those K2 Media Clients, click Change Server .
A message box appears that asks if you are sure you want to change the FTP server.
5. In the message box, click Yes .
The K2 System Configuration application finds the FTP server with the most
available FTP bandwidth and re-assigns the K2 Media Client to that FTP server.
6. On each K2 Media Client for which you changed the FTP server assignment,
restart AppCenter. This puts the change into effect, so that the next time the K2
Media Client needs FTP access, it uses the newly assigned FTP server.
