Grass Valley K2 Summit Storage Area Network v.7.1 - Manual (Page 398)

26 October 2009 K2 Storage Area Network Installation and Service Manual 398
Removing a K2 SAN
With Levels 10, 10R, 20, 20R, 30, 30R, 35, 35R, NL10, and NL10R, the K2 System
Configuration application does not enforce the number of K2 Media Servers.
However, your system design must support any additional servers. Consult with
qualified Grass Valley personnel before adding servers.
For all system levels and designs, adding a K2 Media Server with the role of media
file system/metadata server to an existing K2 SAN is not supported as a customer
procedure. Adding a server with these roles fundamentally changes the baseline
design of the system, which means you must dismantle one or more pieces of the
existing system and create a new system. This requires custom design and
implementation services that should only be attempted by qualified Grass Valley
personnel.
Also refer to “Replacing a K2 Media Server” on page 410 .
On some Level 20, 20R, 30, 30R, 35, or 35R systems, the system design supports
adding an optional NH K2 Media Server, as follows:
1. In SiteConfig, add the K2 Media Server to the appropriate group and verify that it
is communicating correctly on networks.
2. In the K2 System Configuration application tree view, select the name of the K2
SAN, which is the top node of the storage system tree.
3. Click Add Device . The Add Device dialog box opens.
4. Select K2 Media Server .
5. Click OK . The new server appears in the tree view.
6. Configure the server as instructed in the installation chapter for the level of the K2
SAN.
Removing a K2 SAN
The requirements for removing a K2 SAN from the K2 System Configuration
application and/or SiteConfig are as follows:
• You must be logged in to the K2 System Configuration application with
permissions equivalent to K2 administrator or higher.
• The K2 SAN can continue operations while it is removed from the K2 System
Configuration application. As long as you are removing only the complete K2 SAN
and not removing any individual devices, there is no need to put devices offline or
restart devices.
• For ongoing maintenance and support, you must always have at least one control
point from which you can access the K2 SAN with SiteConfig and with the K2
System Configuration application. If you have installations of these applications on
multiple control point PCs, do not remove the K2 SAN from all control point PCs
at the same time.
1. In SiteConfig, remove the devices of the K2 SAN.
2. In the K2 System Configuration application tree view, select the name of the K2
SAN, which is the top node of the storage system tree.
3. Click Remove . The SAN is removed from the tree view.
