Next

.

The iSCSI Initiator Configuration page opens.

This page load balances the K2 appliance’s iSCSI connection to the K2 Storage
System. The iSCSI adapters on your K2 Media Server or servers are listed here as
iSCSI targets.

On redundant systems, if you have multiple K2 appliances, they should be
balanced between A and B.

For pre-defined K2 Storage System levels, the K2 System Configuration
application determines the iSCSI target to which each K2 appliance subscribes,
based on the bandwidth values that you enter. This enforces policies by which each
K2 appliance has sufficient bandwidth for its intended use and no individual iSCSI
target is oversubscribed.

For custom K2 Storage Systems (Level 4 or 40), qualified system designers can
view subnets to help assign iSCSI targets.

23. Click

Modify

.

The Bandwidth Input dialog box opens.

24. Enter the bandwidth of the K2 appliance.

Refer to the documentation for the specific type of K2 appliance to determine the
bandwidth.

25. Click

.

The K2 System Configuration application automatically chooses an iSCSI target to
assign to the K2 appliance. A message appears that specifies the chosen iSCSI
target, but allows you to choose a different iSCSI target.

26. Respond to the message as follows:

• In most cases you should accept the iSCSI target chosen by the K2 System

Configuration application. Click

Yes

, then

OK

to continue.

• If your system design specifies a different iSCSI target, click

No

, then select the

iSCSI target on the iSCSI Initiator Configuration page.
