Managing the Restripe Utility
If you answer “Yes” to the dialog box that asks about restriping existing media, after
the bandwidth expansion process completes, Storage Utility exits with a special code.
On receiving the special exit code, the K2 System Configuration application sets the
current date in the registry of the K2 Media Server that takes the role of FTP server.
When the FTP server restarts, the Restripe Utility automatically opens. The Restripe
Utility reads the date set in the registry, finds clips and files created before that date,
and restripes the clips and files, one at a time.
You can monitor the Restripe Utility in the following ways:
• While the Restripe Utility is running, it is represented by an icon in the system tray.
You can right-click this icon and open the Restripe Utility window.
