Opening Storage Utility through AppCenter
Unless prevented by a system problem, you should always open Storage Utility through AppCenter.
When you do this your AppCenter login permissions are passed to Storage Utility, so you do not
have to log in to Storage Utility separately.
If you are running AppCenter on the local K2 system, as Storage Utility opens it connects to the
storage system of that local K2 system. If you are running AppCenter on a control point PC, as
Storage Utility opens it connects to the storage system of the K2 system that hosts the channel
currently selected in AppCenter.
1. Open AppCenter, either on the local K2 system or on the control point PC and log in.
Make sure you log in to AppCenter with appropriate privileges, as this log in is passed to Storage
Utility. Administrator-level permission is necessary for most Storage Utility operations. If you
log in with user-level permissions, the Storage Utility menu item is disabled.
2. If you are running AppCenter from a control point PC and you have channels from multiple K2
systems in your channel suite, select a channel from the stand-alone K2 system whose storage
you intend to configure with Storage Utility. This is important as Storage Utility automatically
connects to the K2 system that hosts the currently selected channel.
NOTE: Make sure you are connecting to a stand-alone K2 system. You should never connect
Storage Utility directly to a K2 client that uses shared (SAN) storage.
3. From the AppCenter System menu, select Storage Utility .
Storage Utility opens.
4. If you are connecting from a control point PC, you should verify that you are connected to the
correct K2 system. To verify this, use the Identify feature to flash the disks on the K2 system.
