Chapter 6 Installing the Level 3R Storage System

Configuring the redundant media server 1B

You must wait for the primary media server to restart before continuing. To verify,
from the control point PC open the MS-DOS command prompt and use the “ping”
command.

For Level 3 redundant, after you have configured the first media server (server 1A)
you next configure its redundant partner media server (server 1B).

1. In the K2 System Configuration application tree view, select the media server you

are configuring as server IB.

2. Click the

Configure

button. The Configure K2 Storage System Server wizard

opens. Follow the on-screen text to configure the server for a Level 3R K2 Storage
System, as described in the following table. Some screens require no input from
you, as they are based on the configurations already completed on a previously
configured media server.

Completing the
Configuration Wizard

Click

Finish

. The wizard closes. The K2 Media Server restarts. Wait

until all startup processes have completed before continuing. If you are
not sure if startup is complete, wait 10 minutes.
