2. Click the

Server Control Panel

button. The Server Control Panel opens.

3. Identify the primary K2 Media Server and the backup K2 Media Server.

If the K2 SAN does not have redundant servers, only one server (the left half of the Server Control
Panel) is displayed.

For Nearline K2 SANs, the Server Control Panel is not available from the K2Config application.

Identifying primary/backup from the local K2 Media Server

The following procedure assumes that you are at the local K2 Media Server and you need to check
its status in its role of media file system/metadata server, especially regarding redundancy. The
recommended mode for local operation of a K2 Media Server is to use a connected keyboard,
monitor, and mouse. You can also use Windows Remote Desktop Connection from a
network-connected PC to access the Windows desktop for “local” operation, but this is not
recommended if the system is currently online with media access underway. The additional load
on network and local system resources could cause unpredictable results.

1. If you have not already done so, connect keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the K2 Media Server

and log on to Windows.

2. If Server Control Panel is not already open, on the Windows desktop, click
