between A and B.

For pre-defined K2 SAN levels, K2Config determines the iSCSI target to which
each client device subscribes, based on the bandwidth values that you enter. This
enforces policies by which each client device has sufficient bandwidth for its
intended use and no individual iSCSI target is oversubscribed.

For custom K2 SANs (Level 4 or 40), qualified system designers can view subnets
to help assign iSCSI targets.

15.Click

Modify

.

The Bandwidth Input dialog box opens.

16.Enter the bandwidth of the Mac Client. This is calculated according to your system

design, and provided to you by your Grass Valley representative.

17.Click

Assign TOE

.

K2Config automatically chooses an iSCSI target to assign to the client device. A
message appears that specifies the chosen iSCSI target, but allows you to choose a
different iSCSI target.

18.Respond to the message as follows:

• In most cases you should accept the iSCSI target chosen by K2Config. Click

Yes

, then

OK

to continue.

• If your system design specifies a different iSCSI target, click

No

, then select the

iSCSI target on the iSCSI Initiator Configuration page.

19.When the wizard reports that the configuration check is successful, click

Next

.

The File System Client Configuration page opens.

This page connects the client device as a media file system client to the K2 Media
Server taking the role of media file system server. If there are redundant K2 Media
Servers, both are listed on this page as file system servers.

20.Verify that the client device is connecting to the correct K2 Media Server or

Servers, as follows:

• For non-redundant K2 Storage Systems, the client connects to the only server.

• For iSCSI redundant K2 Storage Systems, the client connects to server A as file

system server 1 and server B as file system server 2, so that if there is a problem
with one server, the other server is available.

21.Click

Next

.

The Completing the Configuration Wizard page opens.

22.Click

Finish

.

When prompted, restart the client device.

Test K2 SAN file access

From a Macintosh system, perform create, read, write, and delete operations on a file
on the V: drive. This verifies the media file system.
