RAID storage is ready for configuration.
Verifying controller microcode
Nearline systems require that the RAID controller or controllers be loaded with
nearline microcode. At the time of this writing, this is specified as 05ND microcode.
Refer to K2 Storage System Release Notes for the most recent version specification.
To check the controller microcode version, in Storage Utility select the controller in
the tree view and the microcode version is displayed in the right-hand panel of the
Storage Utility window. If the microcode is not correct for a Nearline system, load the
correct microcode version before continuing. Refer to
for procedures.
Configuring RAID network and SNMP settings
Use the Storage Utility to configure the following settings for the Level 3 RAID
controller or controllers:
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Gateway Address
• SNMP trap destinations
For L3 RAID, network and SNMP settings are set and stored on the RAID controller
module. For the RAID chassis with two controllers, each controller has its own
network settings and the RAID chassis exists as two entities on the control network.
The RAID storage device is configured by default for the SNMP community name
“public”. If your site’s policies require using a different SNMP community name,
contact your Grass Valley representative.
To configure these settings, do the following:
1. Launch Storage Utility from the K2 System Configuration application as in the
previous procedure.
2. As prompted, wait while Storage Utility gathers system information, then Storage
Utility opens.
3. In Storage Utility tree view, expand the node for the L3 RAID, right-click the icon
for a L3 RAID controller, and select
Configuration | Network Properties
.
The Controller Network Settings dialog box opens.
For a L3 RAID chassis with two controllers, you can make settings on both
controllers using this dialog box.
