Opening Storage Utility
This is important as Storage Utility automatically connects to the K2 Media Client
that hosts the currently selected channel.
NOTE: Make sure you are connecting to a K2 Media Client with internal storage.
You should never connect Storage Utility directly to a K2 Media Client that uses
external storage.
3. From the AppCenter System menu, select Storage Utility .
Storage Utility opens.
4. If you are connecting from a control point PC, you should verify that you are
connected to the correct K2 Media Client. To verify this, use the Identify feature to
flash the disks on the K2 Media Client. Refer to
“Identifying disks” on page 83 .

from opening it through AppCenter.
To open Storage Utility independently, do the following:

Start Menu at Programs | Grass Valley | Storage Utility .
A dialog box opens in which you specify the machine to connect to with Storage

Storage Utility. If you are opening Storage Utility on a local K2 Media Client, enter
the name of that K2 Media Client. Click
