Chapter 8 Configuring K2 clients on the K2 SAN
can use either SiteConfig or K2Config to configure media networks. If you use
SiteConfig, then you must open the relevant page in K2Config so that K2Config
reads the settings in from the K2 client. This also allows you to verify the media
network configuration in the context of K2Config.
5. Configure SNMP properties so the trap destination points to the NetCentral server
PC. Use standard Windows procedures.
6. If the K2 client connects to the K2 SAN with a redundant Ethernet (iSCSI) fabric,
install Multi-Path I/O software. Refer to the next procedure “Installing Multi-Path
I/O Software” .
7. Copy the K2 SAN hosts file onto the K2 client. You can use SiteConfig for this
task.
Installing Multi-Path I/O Software
The following procedure is required for shared storage K2 clients that have their
Gigabit Media ports connected to the two iSCSI Media networks. This configuration
is used for redundant K2 SANs.
The installation files for the Multi-Path I/O software are copied on to the K2 client
when the K2 Client software is installed.
To install Multi-Path I/O software, do the following:
1. Access the Windows desktop on the K2 system. You can do this locally with a
connected keyboard, mouse, and monitor or remotely via the Windows Remote
Desktop Connection.
2. Stop all media access. If AppCenter is open, close it.
3. Click Start | Run , type cmd and press Enter . The MS-DOS command prompt
