Configuring a K2 client for the K2 Storage System
6. Repeat this procedure for each of your K2 clients.
iSCSI Initiator
Configuration
This page load balances the
K2client’s iSCSI connection
to the K2 SAN. The iSCSI
adapters on your K2 Media
Server or servers are listed
here as iSCSI targets.
For pre-defined K2 SAN
levels, the K2 System
Configuration application
determines the iSCSI target
to which each K2 client
subscribes, based on the
bandwidth values that you
enter. This enforces policies
by which each K2 client has
sufficient bandwidth for its
intended use and no
individual iSCSI target is
oversubscribed.
For custom K2 SANs (Level
4 or 40), qualified system
designers can view subnets
to help assign iSCSI targets.
Click Modify . The Bandwidth Input dialog box opens.
Enter the channel count, bit rate, and track count per channel information
according to your intended use of the K2 client.
Click
Calculate and verify that the total bandwidth is correct according
to the system design for your shared storage system. You should be
configuring your highest bandwidth K2 clients first, to ensure that they
are distributed equally across iSCSI targets. To verify this, while you are
on this page for your first K2 client, you can temporarily enter
information and calculate the bandwidth for each of your K2 clients and
compare bandwidth values.
Click
Assign Portal , then OK to confirm.
If you have a redundant K2 SAN, the K2 System Configuration
application makes the appropriate assignment to the redundant server, as
reported in the Secondary target box.
Click
Next .
Completing the
Configuration Wizard Click Finish . The K2 client restarts and the wizard closes.
