Chapter 11 Administering and maintaining the K2 Storage System
• In the K2 System Configuration application tree view, open the node for the K2
Media Client. This exposes the nodes for individual configuration pages. Select the
Software configuration page to view software version information. To check for
recent changes in software, click the Check button.
Modifying K2 Media Client control network settings
To modify the hostname or IP address of a K2 Media Client, use the following
procedure. Refer to procedures elsewhere in this chapter for the details of individual
steps.
1. Make sure you know the load balancing (bandwidth) parameters currently set for
the K2 Media Client in the K2 System Configuration application. You must
reconfigure these parameters later in this procedure.
2. Remove the K2 Media Client from the K2 Storage System.
3. Modify the hostname or IP address.
4. Edit hosts files or other name resolution mechanisms for all the devices of the K2
Storage System.
5. Add the K2 Media Client as a new device to the K2 Storage System, load balancing
the K2 Media Client just as it was previously. This is important, as you want the
K2 System Configuration application to assign it to the same available bandwidth
on the same iSCSI target as previously.
Modifying K2 Media Client media (iSCSI) network settings
To modify a media network IP address for a K2 Media Client, use the following
procedure. Refer to procedures elsewhere in this document for the details of
individual steps.
1. Stop media access on the K2 Media Client.
2. In the K2 System Configuration application, open the Network configuration page
for the K2 Media Client.
3. Modify the IP address.
4. Restart the K2 Media Client.
Modifying load balancing
Modifying the iSCSI load balancing on an existing K2 Storage System is not
supported as a customer procedure. This is because the load balancing is a
fundamental baseline for the design of the system. To change the load balancing
specifications requires custom design and implementation services that should only
be attempted by qualified Grass Valley personnel.
Refer to the K2 Media Client System Guide for a general discussion of load balancing.
