Chapter 12 Administering and maintaining the K2 SAN
1. In the K2 System Configuration application, for the K2 Media Server with the
adapter or adapters you are replacing, open the iSCSI bridge page and identify the
ports on the adapter or adapters.
2. For the ports on the adapter or adapters you are replacing, make a note of the IP
addresses and subnet mask settings.
Later in this procedure you must assign these same settings to ports on the
replacement adapter.
3. Close the K2 System Configuration application.
4. Take the clients of the K2 SAN offline and take all K2 Media Servers out of
service.
5. If you are replacing two single-port adapters with a dual-port adapter, uninstall K2
system software from the K2 Media Server.
6. Power down the K2 Media Server and replace the iSCSI interface adapter or
adapters. Refer to the service documentation on the Dell Documentation CD for
procedures. If you are replacing two single-port adapters with a dual-port adapter,
install the dual-port adapter in slot 2. Leave slot 3 empty.
7. Power up the K2 Media Server.
8. If you are replacing two single-port adapters with a dual-port adapter, install the
current versions of K2 system software (version 3.2.7 or higher is required) on the
K2 Media Server and then restart the K2 Media Server.
9. In the K2 System Configuration application, open the iSCSI bridge page for that
K2 Media Server. It displays iSCSI interface adapters on the K2 Media Server,
identified by MAC address. Notice that on replacement adapter ports the MAC
address is different than it was on the former adapter, the IP addresses is set to
0.0.0.0, and bandwidth subscription set to 0.
10. Do the following for the replacement iSCSI interface adapter or adapters on the K2
Media Server:
a. Select each port and set it to the same IP addresses\subnet mask as formerly
assigned.
b. Apply the settings.
When the IP address is set successfully, the K2 System Configuration application
automatically applies the same bandwidth subscription that was previously
assigned to that IP address. The iSCSI bridge page updates and displays the
bandwidth subscription.
11. After making settings on the iSCSI interface adapter or adapters, on the iSCSI
bridge page, click Check .
A “…Replaced iSCSI port…” message and a “…Added iSCSI port…” message
appears for each port on the adapter or adapters that you replaced.
12. If you are replacing iSCSI interface adapters on multiple K2 Media Servers, repeat
this procedure on the remaining K2 Media Servers.
13. Place the devices of the K2 SAN back online. Refer to procedures earlier in this
chapter as appropriate for your K2 SAN level and/or redundant server
configuration.
