K2 Storage System Instruction Manual

Chapter 11 Administering and maintaining the K2 Storage System

other iSCSI clients that use the faulty server as their iSCSI target, as determined in
step 1 earlier in this procedure.

6. Stop all media access and power down all K2 Media Clients and other iSCSI

clients.

7. If the faulty server is a media file system/database server, take the K2 Media Server

out of service, as explained

“Taking a K2 Media Server out of service” on

page 334

. If it is a redundant server, it must be the backup before you take it out of

service.

8. In the K2 System Configuration application, remove the faulty K2 Media Server as

follows:

a. In the tree view, select the K2 Media Server

b. Click

Remove

and

Yes

to confirm. The K2 Media Server is removed from the

tree view.

9. Physically remove the faulty K2 Media Server and put the replacement server in its

place. Reconnect all cables to the replacement server as they were to the faulty
server.

NOTE: If the replacement server was previously configured on a K2 Storage
System, you must restart it before adding it to a K2 Storage System or in any other
way reconfiguring it for use.

10. Configure the network settings and hostname on the replacement server to be the

same as they were on the faulty server. You need do this only for the control
network, as other settings are configured using the K2 System Configuration
application later in this procedure.

11. Copy the host table onto the replacement server.

12. In the K2 System Configuration application, add and configure the replacement

server. Refer to the installation chapter for the level of your system earlier in this
manual for specific procedures, with the following special instructions:

a. Add the server to the K2 Storage System, using the

Add Device

button.

b. Configure the replacement server so that its settings are all the same as they were

on the faulty server.

- On the Define Server Roles page, assign the same roles.

- On the Network Configuration page, enter the same network settings for the

FTP network. (You already configured the control network in step 10 earlier
in this procedure.)

- On the iSCSI Bridge Server Configuration page, enter the same settings.

c. After completing the configuration, restart the machine to put changes into

effect.

13. In the K2 System Configuration application, add the clients that you removed in

step 5 earlier in this procedure. Refer to the K2 Media Client System Guide for
specific procedures, with the following special instructions:

a. Add the client with the highest iSCSI bandwidth first.
