Grass Valley K2 Summit Storage Area Network Installation - Manual (Page 46)

• Use the following tip with care. While it can solve a problem, it also introduces a name resolution
"anomaly" that might be confusing if not considered in future troubleshooting activities.
For each SAN (shared storage) K2 client, add the "_he0" suffix to the hostname but then associate
that hostname with the K2 Media Server's FTP/streaming network IP address, not the K2 client's
IP address. Aliasing K2 client hostnames in this way would not be required if the transfer
source/destination was always correctly specified as the K2 Media Server. However, a common
mistake is to attempt a transfer in which the source/destination is incorrectly specified as the K2
client. The host file aliasing corrects this mistake and redirects to the K2 Media Server, which
is the correct transfer source/destination.
An example of a hosts file entry with this type of aliasing is as follows:
192.168.101.11 server_1_he0 client_1_he0 client_2_he0
