Grass Valley K2 Storage System Instruction Manual v.3.1 - Manual (Page 39)

September 6, 2006 K2 Storage System Instruction Manual 39
Sending K2 configuration to NetCentral
• Control point PC device provider — This is the Windows monitoring device
provider.
• K2 Level 1 device provider
• HP Gigabit Switch device provider or Cisco Gigabit Switch device provider
• K2 Media Client device provider, if any K2 Media Clients are accessing the
Level 1 storage system.
• Device provider for iSCSI clients, if any iSCSI clients such as Aurora Edits are
accessing the Level 1 storage system.
• Grass Valley PC Monitoring software installed — This software must be installed on
the K2 configuration control point PC. It includes Grass Valley SNMP agents and
other WMI based components to perform process monitoring. This provides the
information for some of the SNMP trap messages that must be sent to NetCentral.
• Control point PC monitored by NetCentral — The K2 configuration control point PC
must be added to the NetCentral system and fully monitored by NetCentral. This
especially means that its SNMP trap destination is set to send SNMP traps to the
NetCentral server PC. This is critical, as a SNMP trap is used as the mechanism by
which the K2 configuration information is communicated to NetCentral. Whether
the control point PC and the NetCentral server PC are the same PC or are different
PCs, you must still add the control point PC to NetCentral.
In addition, NetCentral automatically changes its view of the K2 Storage System
whenever you use the K2 System Configuration application to do one of the
following:
• Remove a K2 Storage System
• Rename a K2 Storage System
• Add a device to a K2 Storage System
• Remove a device from a K2 Storage System
Refer to the NetCentral User Guide to set up the NetCentral system. After installing
a device provider, you can find additional documentation about monitoring that type
of device on the NetCentral Help menu.
