Modifying K2 appliance media (iSCSI) network settings
1. Make sure you know the load balancing (bandwidth) parameters currently set for
the K2 appliance in the K2 System Configuration application. You must
reconfigure these parameters later in this procedure.
2. Remove the K2 appliance from the K2 Storage System.
3. Modify the hostname or IP address.
4. Edit hosts files or other name resolution mechanisms for all the devices of the K2
Storage System.
5. Add the K2 appliance as a new device to the K2 Storage System, load balancing
the K2 appliance just as it was previously. This is important, as you want the K2
System Configuration application to assign it to the same available bandwidth on
the same iSCSI target as previously.
Modifying K2 appliance media (iSCSI) network settings
To modify a media network IP address for a K2 appliance, use the following
procedure. Refer to procedures elsewhere in this document for the details of
individual steps.
1. Stop media access on the K2 appliance.
2. In the K2 System Configuration application, open the Network configuration page
for the K2 appliance.
3. Modify the IP address.
4. Restart the K2 appliance.
Modifying load balancing
Modifying the iSCSI load balancing on an existing K2 Storage System is not
supported as a customer procedure. This is because the load balancing is a
fundamental baseline for the design of the system. To change the load balancing
specifications requires custom design and implementation services that should only
be attempted by qualified Grass Valley personnel.
Refer to the K2 Media Client System Guide for a general discussion of load balancing.
