Reconnecting to a K2 SAN
Reconnecting to a K2 SAN
If you replace the K2 System Configuration control point PC or otherwise lose the
connection to a K2 SAN from the K2 System Configuration application, you can
reconnect. The requirements for reconnecting to a K2 SAN from the K2 System
Configuration application are as follows:
• You must be logged in to the K2 System Configuration application with
permissions equivalent to K2 administrator or higher.
To reconnect to a K2 SAN, select Retrieve Configuration and enter the name or IP
address of the K2 Media Server for the K2 SAN. If the K2 SAN has multiple K2
Media Servers, you must enter the name or IP address of the server configured first,
which is designated as server 1, server A, or server 1A, depending on the level of the
system.
The K2 SAN appears in the tree view.
In SiteConfig, there are no features that support a system-wide reconnecting from a
replacement control point PC. You can import a system description and discover
devices.
Taking a K2 SAN offline
To take a K2 SAN offline, do the following:
1. Stop all media access.
2. Shut down all K2 clients and all generic clients. You can do this via SiteConfig.
3. Take all K2 Media Servers out of service. If you have redundant servers, make sure
that you know which server is the current primary and which server is the current
backup, and that you take primary/backup servers out of service in the proper order.
Refer to
“Taking a K2 Media Server out of service” on page 406 .
Bringing a K2 SAN online
To bring a K2 SAN online, do the following:
1. Verify that RAID storage devices, Ethernet switches, and other supporting system
are powered up. Refer to the section earlier in this manual for power on procedures.
2. If K2 Media Servers are powered down, power them up. Refer to the section earlier
in this manual for power on procedures.
3. Place K2 Media servers in service. If you have redundant servers, make sure that
you place primary/backup servers in service in the proper order. Refer to “Placing
a K2 Media Server in service” on page 408 .
4. Power on all K2 clients and all generic clients.
Viewing iSCSI assignments
You can review a report of clients and their iSCSI configuration on a K2 SAN as
follows:
1. 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.
