Configure Mac Client on K2 SAN
13.Enter the media network IP address and subnet mask and then click OK.
14.Click Check.
The iSCSI Initiator Configuration page opens.
This page load balances the client device’s iSCSI connection to the K2 SAN. The
iSCSI adapters on your K2 Media Server or servers are listed here as iSCSI targets.
On redundant systems, if you have multiple client devices, they should be balanced
between A and B.
For pre-defined K2 SAN levels, K2Config determines the iSCSI target to which
each client device subscribes, based on the bandwidth values that you enter. This
enforces policies by which each client device has sufficient bandwidth for its
intended use and no individual iSCSI target is oversubscribed.
For custom K2 SANs (Level 4 or 40), qualified system designers can view subnets
to help assign iSCSI targets.
15.Click Modify.
The Bandwidth Input dialog box opens.
16.Enter the bandwidth of the Mac Client. This is calculated according to your system
design, and provided to you by your Grass Valley representative.
17.Click Assign TOE.
K2Config automatically chooses an iSCSI target to assign to the client device. A
message appears that specifies the chosen iSCSI target, but allows you to choose a
different iSCSI target.
18.Respond to the message as follows:
• In most cases you should accept the iSCSI target chosen by K2Config. Click
Yes
, then
OK to continue.
• If your system design specifies a different iSCSI target, click No, then select the
iSCSI target on the iSCSI Initiator Configuration page.
19.When the wizard reports that the configuration check is successful, click Next.
The File System Client Configuration page opens.
This page connects the client device as a media file system client to the K2 Media
Server taking the role of media file system server. If there are redundant K2 Media
Servers, both are listed on this page as file system servers.
20.Verify that the client device is connecting to the correct K2 Media Server or
Servers, as follows:
• For non-redundant K2 Storage Systems, the client connects to the only server.
• For iSCSI redundant K2 Storage Systems, the client connects to server A as file
system server 1 and server B as file system server 2, so that if there is a problem
with one server, the other server is available.
21.Click Next.
The Completing the Configuration Wizard page opens.
22.Click Finish.
