Identifying K2 Media Server software versions
Use one or more of the following options to identify K2 Media Server software versions:
• In NetCentral, select the Facility button, then in the tree view open the node for the K2 Media
Server. This exposes the subsystems. You can find software version information on property
pages for the
Software subsystem and the Roles subsystem.
• In the K2Config application tree view, open the node for the K2 Media Server. This exposes
the nodes for individual configuration pages. Select the
Software configuration page to view
software version information. To check for recent changes in software, click the Check button.
• Use SiteConfig software deployment features.
Modifying K2 Media Server network settings
Read the following sections for considerations and procedures for modifying network settings on
a K2 Media Server.
Whenever you modify control network settings or FTP/streaming network settings on any device,
you must then redeploy the hosts file if that is your name resolution mechanism.
Modifying K2 Media Server control network settings
If the K2 Media Server takes the role of media file system and metadata server, modifying its control
network settings on an existing K2 SAN is not supported as a customer procedure. This is because
the network identity of the K2 Media Server is embedded throughout the K2 SAN. To reconfigure
this network identity, you must reconfigure the entire system from the start. Contact your Grass
Valley representative for assistance.
Modifying K2 Media Server FTP network settings
You can modify the FTP network settings using SiteConfig without directly affecting the media file
system or metadata service. However, you must be aware of the requirements of your site’s FTP,
file transfer, and streaming system design, as the FTP network settings will likely need to be changed
elsewhere.
After modifying FTP network settings using SiteConfig, open the Network Configuration page in
the K2Config application. The settings should automatically update. Verify that the settings are
correct.
Modifying K2 Media Server media network settings
Use this procedure if you must change the IP address assigned to an iSCSI interface board on a K2
Media Server. This should not be necessary for a normally operating system and in fact it should
be avoided if possible.
1. Put all the devices of the K2 SAN in an offline or out of service state. Refer to the appropriate
procedures in this chapter.
2. Open the K2 System Configuration (K2Config) application on the control point PC.
3. In K2Config, make sure you know the load balancing bandwidth parameters for each of the
iSCSI clients, as you must re-enter these values later in this procedure.
