Replacing an iSCSI interface adapter (TOE card)
9. In SiteConfig, remove the K2 Media Server.
10.Physically remove the faulty K2 Media Server and put the replacement server in
its place. Reconnect all cables to the replacement server as they were to the faulty
server.
NOTE: If the replacement server was previously configured on a K2 SAN, you must
restart it before adding it to a K2 SAN or in any other way reconfiguring it for use.
11. In SiteConfig, add, discover, and assign the replacement server. Configure the
hostname and all network settings on the replacement server to be the same as they
were on the faulty server.
12. Copy the host table onto the replacement server. You can use SiteConfig for this
task.
13. In the K2 System Configuration application, add and configure the replacement
server. Refer to the installation chapter for the level of your system earlier in this
manual for specific procedures, with the following special instructions:
a. Add the server to the K2 SAN, using the Add Device button.
b. Configure the replacement server so that its settings are all the same as they were
on the faulty server.
- On the Define Server Roles page, assign the same roles.
- On the Network Configuration page, verify the same network settings for the
FTP network.
- If the server hosts an iSCSI interface adapter, on the iSCSI Bridge Server
Configuration page, verify the same settings.
c. After completing the configuration, restart the machine to put changes into
effect.
14. If the server hosts an iSCSI interface adapter, in the K2 System Configuration
application, add the clients that you removed in step 5 earlier in this procedure,
with the following special instructions:
a. Add the client with the highest iSCSI bandwidth first.
b. On each client, configure iSCSI bandwidth settings so they are the same as they
were before.
15. Power up all K2 clients and other iSCSI clients and test media access.
The replacing a server procedure is complete.
Replacing an iSCSI interface adapter (TOE card)
Prerequisites are as follows:
• The K2 SAN must be at K2 system software version 3.2.7 or higher before you
begin this procedure.
• If the K2 Media Server has two single-port adapters and the replacement adapter is
a dual port adapter, you must remove both single-port adapters, even though only
one adapter is faulty, and replace them with the dual-port adapter.
