Chapter 2 Getting Started
NOTE: If the System | Storage Utility menu option is grayed out, or you are unable to
log in by clicking on the desktop icon, review your level of user access. For more
information, see
“Types of K2 users” on page 22 .
Accessing Storage Utility
Grass Valley strongly recommends that you access Storage Utility by selecting
System | Storage Utility in AppCenter. However, if you are unable to access
AppCenter, then open Storage Utility by clicking on the Storage Utility desktop icon.
For Storage Utility procedures for internal storage, refer to K2 Media Client System
Guide. Refer to the K2 External Storage Instruction Manual to learn about Storage
Utility for the K2 storage system.
CAUTION: Use the Storage Utility only as directed by a documented
procedure or by Grass Valley Support. If used improperly, the Storage
Utility can render your K2 Media Client inoperable or result in the loss
of all your media.
K2 System Configuration
The K2 System Configuration application is the primary tool for configuring the K2
storage system. Once the devices of the storage system have the required software
installed, are cabled, and are communicating on the control network, a K2
administrator can do all the configuration required to create a working K2 storage
system using the K2 System Configuration application.
The K2 System Configuration application runs on a Control Point PC and accesses
the devices of the K2 storage system via the control network. For more information
on administering the K2 System Configuration application, see K2 Storage System
Instruction Manual.
