Using Storage Utility
When doing configuration or service work on the media file system, the media
database, or the RAID storage devices of an existing K2 SAN, the primary tool is the
Storage Utility. Refer to
“Storage Utility” on page 388 for a general description.
CAUTION: Use the Storage Utility only as directed by a documented
procedure or by Grass Valley Support. If used improperly, the Storage
Utility can render your K2 SAN inoperable or result in the loss of all
your media.
The installation chapters earlier in this document provide instructions for using
Storage Utility as you initially set up and configure a K2 SAN. You should refer to
those instructions for information that is specific to the level of your K2 SAN.
Procedures in this section are as follows:
• “Accessing Storage Utility” on page 437
• “Overview of Storage Utility” on page 438
Accessing Storage Utility
To access the Storage Utility, you must open it from within the K2 System
Configuration application. Access permissions are passed from the K2 System
Configuration application to the Storage Utility as it opens, so make sure that you are
logged in with sufficient permissions.
You open the Storage Utility from within the K2 System Configuration application in
the following ways:
• 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. Then click the Storage Utility
button. Storage Utility opens. In this case the connection to the RAID storage
devices is via the K2 Media Server first configured, which is designated as server
1, server A, or server 1A, depending on the level of the SAN.
• In the K2 System Configuration application tree view, open the node for a K2
Media Server and select the File System Server node to open its property page. On
the property page click Launch Storage Utility . Storage Utility opens. In this case
