Removing a K2 Media Server
Removing a K2 Media Server
The requirements for removing a K2 Media Server or Level 1 device from an existing
K2 Storage System are as follows:
• You must be logged in to the K2 System Configuration application with
permissions equivalent to K2 administrator or higher.
• Media access must be stopped on all connected K2 Media Clients.
• The K2 Media Server or Level 1 device must be appropriately out of service, as
explained in procedures earlier in this section.
To remove a K2 Media Server or Level 1 device, do the following:
1. In the tree view, select K2 Media Server.
2. Click Remove and Yes to confirm. The K2 Media Server is removed from the tree
view.
3. You must restart the K2 Media Server or Level 1 device before re-adding it to a K2
Storage System or in any other way reconfiguring it for use.
Replacing an iSCSI interface adapter (TOE card)
If you must replace an iSCSI interface adapter (TOE card) in a K2 Media Server or a
Level 1 device, do the following:
1. In the K2 System Configuration application, for the machine with the faulty iSCSI
interface adapter, open the iSCSI bridge page and make a note of the IP addresses.
Later in this procedure you must assign the replacement adapter the same IP
address or addresses as currently assigned to the faulty adapter.
2. Identify the K2 Media Clients and iSCSI clients to which the faulty iSCSI interface
adapter is assigned as iSCSI Target IP Address. For each client of the K2 Storage
System, look at the iSCSI Initiator Configuration page to determine this.
3. Make sure you know the load balancing bandwidth parameters for each of the
clients to which the faulty iSCSI interface adapter is assigned, as you must re-enter
these values later in this procedure.
4. Take the clients of the K2 Storage System offline and take all K2 Media Servers or
Level 1 devices out of service.
5. In the K2 System Configuration application, remove all clients to which the faulty
iSCSI interface adapter is assigned. To do this, select each client and click Remove .
6. Power down the machine with the faulty iSCSI interface adapter and replace the
iSCSI interface adapter. Refer to the service documentation on the Dell
Documentation CD for procedures.
7. Power up the machine with the replacement iSCSI interface adapter.
8. In the K2 System Configuration application, open the iSCSI bridge page for that
machine. It displays the replacement adapter, identified by MAC address, with its
IP address set to 0.0.0.0.
9. Assign the replacement adapter the same IP address as originally assigned to the
faulty adapter.
