K2 Media Servers with role of file system/metadata server, both primary and redundant, must
be powered up but online.

These procedures allow you to keep the media database and the media files in sync. You can check
the movies (clips) in the media database for the references to media files that should be currently
stored on the media disks. Likewise, you can check for media files that are not referenced by a movie
in the media database. If you find any unreferenced files or movies, you can delete them.

Making a new media file system

The requirements for this procedure are as follows:

You must access Storage Utility (via the K2Config application login) with permissions equivalent
to K2 administrator or higher.

When you access Storage Utility, the K2 SAN must be offline.

All iSCSI clients and K2 clients in the K2 SAN must be shut down.

If your SNFS file system name is currently “default”, when you make a new file system the name
changes to “gvfs_hostname”, where hostname is the name of the primary FSM.
