Preface

About this document

This is a K2

product manual. It describes the K2 10G Storage Area Network (SAN) and provides

instructions for installing and using the product in a variety of applications. The manual contains
information for K2 storage in both basic (non-redundant) and redundant configurations. Refer to
the sections that apply your K2 SAN's configuration. For custom K2 SANs that do not fit one of
these pre-defined levels, you must work with your Grass Valley representative for installation and
operation.

The K2 10G SAN, as documented with this manual, is characterized by 10 Gig iSCSI connections
and 8 Gig Fibre Channel connections. The K2 10G SAN requires K2 software version 7.3 and
higher. Some devices and/or systems used with older K2 SANs are not compatible with the K2 10G
SAN system. Consult "K2 Release Notes" for compatibility information.

For information on products that are compatible as clients to the K2 SAN, refer to those product’s
manuals, such as the "STRATUS Installation and Service Manual" and the "K2 FCP Connect
Installation Manual".
