Modifying K2 client managed network interfaces
Modifying K2 client managed network interfaces
Prerequisites for this task are as follows:
• The physical device you are configuring has been discovered and is assigned to a
device in the SiteConfig system description.
• SiteConfig has communication with the device.
• The device is defined in the system description with an appropriate network
interface.
Use this task to modify managed network interfaces on a K2 SAN device as follows:
• K2 Summit Production Client
1. In the tree view select a K2 client, then in the Interfaces list view, identify
interfaces as follows:
• The SAN K2 client's control interface is a team. Modify the control team
interface first. The control team is comprised of two individual interfaces, one
for Control Connection #1 and one for Control Connection # 2. Do not modify
these two individual interfaces.
• For a SAN K2 client on a basic (non-redundant) K2 SAN, identify the iSCSI
(non-Redundant) interface. After the control team, modify this interface as
instructed in this procedure. Do not configure any other iSCSI interface, as only
one iSCSI interface is used for a basic K2 SAN.
• For a SAN K2 client on a redundant K2 SAN, identify the iSCSI (Primary
Redundant) interface and the iSCSI (Primary Secondary) interface. After the
control team, modify these interfaces as instructed in this procedure.
• The SAN K2 client has no interface for FTP/streaming. All FTP/streaming goes
to the K2 Media Server.
2. In the Interfaces list view determine the interface to configure, as follows:
• Identify the interface with which SiteConfig is currently communicating,
indicated by the green star overlay icon. This should be the control network
interface.
• Verify that the interface over which SiteConfig is currently communicating is
in fact the interface defined for the control network in the system description. If
this is not the case, you might have the control network cable connected to the
wrong interface port.
• Configure the control network interface first before configuring any of the other
interfaces.
• After you have successfully configured the control network interface, return to
this step to configure each remaining interface.
3. In the Interfaces list view, check the icon for the interface you are configuring.
If the icon has a red stop sign overlay, it indicates that current settings and planned
settings do not match or that there is some other problem. Hover over the icon to
