Cleaning unreferenced files and movies
Cleaning unreferenced files and movies
These procedures allow you to keep the media database and the media files in sync.
You can check the movies (clips) in the media database for the references to media
files that should be currently stored on the media disks. Likewise, you can check for
media files that are not referenced by a movie in the media database. If you find any
unreferenced files or movies, you can delete them. The requirements for these
procedures are as follows:
• You must access Storage Utility (via the K2 System Configuration application
login) with permissions equivalent to K2 administrator or higher.
• When you access Storage Utility, the K2 SAN must be offline.
• All iSCSI clients and K2 clients in the K2 SAN must be offline.
• K2 Media Servers with role of file system/metadata server, both primary and
redundant, must be powered up but offline.
To clean unreferenced files, do the following:
1. In Storage Utility, click Tools | Clean Unreferenced Files .
2. A message box appears “…searching…Please wait”. Observe progress.
3. A message box reports results. Respond as follows:

to delete the files or No to leave the files intact.
