K2 System Configuration
After your K2 Storage System is initially installed and configured, as instructed in the
installation chapters in the K2 Storage System Instruction Manual, if you need to
reconfigure the system you should do so using the K2 System Configuration
Application. This enforces consistent policy and sequencing for reconfiguration tasks,
which makes the system easier to maintain and aids in troubleshooting should a
problem arise.
The K2 System Configuration application runs on a control point PC and accesses the
devices of the K2 Storage System via the control network. You can configure the
devices of the K2 Storage System as follows:
• K2 Media Client and K2 Media Server — These devices are configured directly by
the K2 System Configuration application.
• K2 Level 2 RAID and Level 3 RAID storage devices — The K2 System
Configuration application launches a remote instance of Storage Utility, which
configures RAID storage devices. Storage Utility components run on the K2 Media
Server and the configuration actually takes place via the Fibre Channel connection
between the K2 Media Server and the RAID storage device.
• K2 Level 1 device — The media server parameters are configured by the K2
System Configuration application while the RAID storage parameters are
configured by Storage Utility.
• Ethernet switches — The K2 System Configuration application can launch a
switch’s web-based configuration application.
To open the K2 System Configuration application do the following:
1. On the control point PC open the K2 System Configuration application shortcut on
the desktop. The K2 System Configuration application log in dialog box opens.
2. Log in using the designated administrator account for configuring K2 Storage
System devices. By default this account is as follows:
Username: administrator
Password: adminK2
3. The K2 System Configuration application opens.
