illuminated. This takes 1-3 seconds.
4. Wait while the primary RAID chassis performs self-test and initialization. This
takes about four minutes. While this is taking place, the RDY LED is illuminated
with a steady on light.
5. Watch for the RDY LED to begin blinking at one second intervals. The LED might
turn off and back on two times before starting the one second blink pattern. When
the RDY LED is blinking at one second intervals, the self-test and initialization is
complete and the chassis is ready for use.
Your preparations for L10R RAID storage are now complete.
Preparing K2 Storage System clients
Any devices that function as iSCSI clients to the K2 Storage System must be prepared
with the following requirements:
• One or more connections to the control network.
• A static IP address for the control network.
• For a redundant K2 Storage System, K2 Media Clients have one connection to the
A media (iSCSI) network and one connection to the B media (iSCSI) network.
Other iSCSI clients with just one media port connect to either the A or the B
network.
Additional steps that are required for Aurora Edits include the following:
• Implement Aurora Edit security features.
• Install SNFS software and K2 software.
For more information, refer to the Aurora Edit Installation and Configuration Guide.
Additional steps that are required for K2 Media Clients include the following:
• You must install Multi-path I/O software if the K2 Media Client connects to the K2
Storage System with a redundant Ethernet (iSCSI) fabric. For example, the
following K2 Storage Systems have a redundant Ethernet fabric:
• Level 2R
• Level 3R
• Level 10R
• Level 20R
• Level 30R
For more information refer to the K2 Media Client System Guide.
K2 configuration and NetCentral
Before you begin using the K2 System Configuration application to configure the
storage system, you should set up the NetCentral system according to the following
