Setting up the K2 media server
Connect the two iSCSI interface ports to media ports on the GigE switch.
Connect A servers to the A GigE switch. Connect B servers to the B GigE
switch.
Connect the motherboard GigE port 1 and GigE port 2 to control ports on the
GigE switch. Connect A servers to the A GigE switch. Connect B servers to the
B GigE switch.
Connect one of the Fibre Channel ports to the RAID storage device.
Make a direct connection between the serial ports of the two servers.
Take care to use the proper serial cable to interconnect redundant K2 Media
Servers that take the role of file system/database servers. This cable supports the
heartbeat mechanism whereby the servers monitor each other’s health. It is a 9
pin serial cable, but it is not a standard RS-232 null modem cable. The heartbeat
cable is supplied with your system (Grass Valley part number 174-8137-00) and
has a pin configuration as follows:
1 – 4
2 – 3
3 – 2
4 – 1&6
5 – 5
6 – 4
7 – 8
8 – 7
9 – No Connect
• Assign a control network IP address to GigE port 1. Use standard Windows
procedures. Refer to “Networking tips” on page 50 .
• Change the hostname. Use standard Windows procedures.
• Configure SNMP properties so the trap destination points to the NetCentral server
PC. Use standard Windows procedures. If you are not using the SNMP community
name “public”, configure the community name and set permissions to RW. Also
make sure that the Authentication trap is enabled.
