Chapter 11 Administering and maintaining the K2 Storage System
• When you access Storage Utility, the K2 Storage System must be offline.
• All iSCSI clients and K2 Media Clients in the K2 Storage System must be shut
down.
To bind a LUN, do the following:
1. In the tree view, right-click the Unbound node and select Bind LUN . (Peer
controllers that share the same set of disks are automatically selected as a pair.)
The Bind LUN dialog box opens showing all unbound disks for the controller listed
in the Available Disk list.
2. Configure the Full Bind checkbox as follows:
• If you are binding all the LUNs for a new or a reconfigured storage system, leave
Full Bind selected. To do a Full Bind, the K2 Storage System must be in the
offline mode.
• If you are adding LUNs to an existing storage system you can uncheck Full
Bind. This allows a background bind process. With a background bind the
binding process runs on the new LUNs while media access continues on the
existing LUNs of the storage system. You can do a background bind while the
K2 Storage System is in the online mode.
3. In the LUN TYPE drop down box, select the RAID type. Refer to the installation
chapter earlier in this document for your level of storage system for specific
instructions regarding RAID 1, 3, 5, and 6.
4. In the Available Disks box, select contiguous disks at the top of the list as
appropriate for the RAID type. (TIP: Use ‘shift-click’ or ‘control-click’ to select
disks.)
5. Click the add (arrow) button to add disks to the Selected Disks list.
