The left side of the screen shows the tree view of the currently loaded system description. The
Network Configuration and Software Deployment buttons at the bottom of the tree view activate
either the network configuration workspace or the software deployment workspace.

The network configuration workspace on the left has two tabs: a Devices tab to display the tree of
devices in the system and a Networks tab to show the hierarchy of networks defined in the system.

The software deployment workspace also has two tabs: a Devices tab that displays the same tree
view of devices but provides information about the software roles assigned to the devices and the
software currently installed on devices. The Deployment Groups tab provides the interface to manage
software deployment tasks.

Select an item in the tree and the view on the right side of the screen shows details about the item
selected. Select a site or group to show information about all the items that fall under the selected
item.

Right-click an item to access a context menu of operations.

Icon overlays on items and tooltips provide status and warning feedback.

K2Config

The K2 System Configuration application (K2Config) is the primary tool for configuring the K2
SAN software. Once the devices of the storage system are cabled and are communicating on the
control network, you can do all the configuration required to create a working K2 SAN using the
K2Config application. When you use SiteConfig for network configuration, you can import the
SiteConfig system description file into the K2Config application to get you started with your SAN
configuration.
