K2 configuration and NetCentral
NetCentral server PC. This can be the K2 configuration Control Point PC or
another PC that has network communication with the K2 Storage System control
network.
• Device providers installed — A device provider must be installed on the NetCentral
server PC for each type of device in the K2 Storage System. For a Level 10R
storage system, the following device providers must be installed:
• Control point PC device provider — This is the Windows monitoring device
provider.
• K2 Media Server device provider
• HP Gigabit Switch device provider or Cisco Gigabit Switch device provider
• K2 Media Client device provider, if any K2 Media Clients are accessing the
Level 10R storage system.
• Device provider for iSCSI clients, if any iSCSI clients such as Aurora Edits are
accessing the Level 10R storage system.
• K2 L10R RAID storage device provider. This device provider supports RAID
devices for Levels 10, 20, and 30.
• Grass Valley PC Monitoring software installed — This software must be installed on
the K2 configuration Control Point PC. It includes Grass Valley SNMP agents and
other WMI based components to perform process monitoring. This provides the
information for some of the SNMP trap messages that must be sent to NetCentral.
• Control Point PC monitored by NetCentral — The K2 configuration Control Point
PC should be added to the NetCentral system and fully monitored by NetCentral.
This means that its SNMP trap destination is set to send SNMP traps to the
NetCentral server PC. Whether the Control Point PC and the NetCentral server PC
are the same PC or are different PCs, you should still add the Control Point PC to
NetCentral.
Refer to the NetCentral User Guide to set up the NetCentral system. After installing
a device provider, you can find additional documentation about monitoring that type
of device on the NetCentral Help menu.
