1. If the server hosts an iSCSI interface adapter, copy down iSCSI bandwidth settings for K2 clients

and other iSCSI clients that use the faulty server as their iSCSI target, as follows:

a) In the K2Config application, select the K2 SAN in the tree view and then click the button in

the toolbar to view client iSCSI assignments. A page opens that displays each client’s primary
and secondary iSCSI targets.

b) In the tree view, select one of the clients that have the faulty server as a primary or secondary

iSCSI target.

c) Open the client’s iSCSI Initiator Configuration page and click

Modify

. The Bandwidth Input

dialog box opens.

d) Copy down the bandwidth settings configured for that client and then close the Bandwidth

Input dialog box.

e) Repeat these steps for each client that has the faulty server as a primary or secondary iSCSI

target.

2. If the server hosts an iSCSI interface adapter, in the K2 System Configuration application, for

the faulty K2 Media Server, open the iSCSI bridge page and make a note of the IP addresses.

3. Copy down network and hostname settings for the faulty K2 Media Server. You can do this from

SiteConfig or from the K2Config application Network Configuration page.

4. Save a copy of the host table from the faulty K2 Media Server. You can use SiteConfig hosts

file features or you can find the host table at the following location on the K2 Media Server:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

5. If the server hosts an iSCSI interface adapter, in the K2Config application, remove the K2 clients

and other iSCSI clients that use the faulty server as their iSCSI target, as determined earlier in
this procedure.

6. Stop all media access and power down all K2 clients and other iSCSI clients.

7. If the faulty server is a media file system/metadata server, take the K2 Media Server out of

service. If it is a redundant server, it must be the backup before you take it out of service.

8. In the K2Config application, remove the faulty K2 Media Server as follows:

a) In the tree view, select the K2 Media Server
b) Click

Remove

and

Yes

to confirm. The K2 Media Server is removed from the tree view.

9. In SiteConfig, remove the K2 Media Server.

10. Physically remove the faulty K2 Media Server and put the replacement server in its place.

Reconnect all cables to the replacement server as they were to the faulty server.

NOTE: If the replacement server was previously configured on a K2 SAN, you must restart
it before adding it to a K2 SAN or in any other way reconfiguring it for use.

11. In SiteConfig, add, discover, and assign the replacement server. Configure the hostname and all

network settings on the replacement server to be the same as they were on the faulty server.

12. Copy the host table onto the replacement server. You can use SiteConfig for this task.
