stand-alone K2 systems.
• For a system with existing devices running earlier software, you must first migrate
the system to become a SiteConfig managed system. Refer to SiteConfig Migration
Instructions for instructions on migrating your devices to be SiteConfig managed
devices.
If you are using a different taskflow, use the topics in this manual as appropriate and
refer to the SiteConfig User Manual or SiteConfig Help Topics for additional
information.
Your devices must be in a SiteConfig system description in order to be managed by
SiteConfig. When you already have a system description in place, you should use
SiteConfig to modify this system description and add your devices. You can do this
in your planning phase, even before you have devices installed or cabled. Your goal
is to have the SiteConfig system description accurately represent all aspects of your
devices and networks before you begin actually implementing any networking or
other configuration tasks for those devices.
Be aware of the following when setting up for integration with an archive system:
• Devices support a limited number of concurrent transfers, as follows:
• A single Profile XP provides a maximum of four streams for concurrent
transfers (via Fibre Channel).
• An internal storage (stand-alone) K2 client provides a maximum of four streams
for concurrent transfers.
• A K2 Media Server provides a maximum of eight streams for concurrent
transfers.
Keep this limit in mind when configuring the archive device for concurrent
transfers. If the archive is configured such that it can request more than the number
of supported streams simultaneously from any single system, the additional
transfers will error out.
