Removing a K2 client
5. Click OK . The new client device appears in the tree view.
6. Configure the K2 client as appropriate.
7. If a K2 Summit Client, enable the write filter. In SiteConfig, you can do this using
the Lock feature.
Removing a K2 client
The requirements for removing a K2 client from an existing K2 SAN are as follows:
• You must be logged in to the K2 System Configuration application with
permissions equivalent to K2 administrator or higher.
• Media access must be stopped on the K2 client you are removing.
• You can remove a K2 client without disrupting the operation of the rest of the SAN.
To remove a K2 client, do the following:
1. Stop media access on the K2 client.
2. In SiteConfig, remove the K2 client.
3. In the K2 System Configuration application tree view, select K2 client.
4. Click Remove and Yes to confirm. The K2 client is removed from the tree view.
5. You must restart the K2 client before re-adding it to a K2 SAN or in any other way
reconfiguring it for use. If a K2 Summit Client, the write filter must be disabled
before the restart.
Identifying K2 client software versions
Your options for identifying K2 client software version are as follows:
• In NetCentral, select the Facility button, then in the tree view open the node for the
K2 client. This exposes the subsystems. You can find software version information
on property pages for the
Software subsystem.
• In the K2 System Configuration application tree view, open the node for the K2
client. This exposes the nodes for individual configuration pages. Select the
Software configuration page to view software version information. To check for
recent changes in software, click the Check button.
• Use SiteConfig software deployment features.
Modifying K2 client control network settings
To modify the hostname or IP address of a K2 client, use the following procedure.
Refer to procedures elsewhere in this chapter for the details of individual steps.
Whenever you modify control network settings or FTP/streaming network settings on
any device, you must then redeploy the hosts file if that is your name resolution
mechanism.
1. Make sure you know the load balancing (bandwidth) parameters currently set for
the K2 client in the K2 System Configuration application. You must reconfigure
these parameters later in this procedure.
