K2Config Proxy server set up
Only systems with proxy on the K2 SAN (A1) require this process.
If you received your system pre-configured from Grass Valley, your Proxy server is already set up
on your K2 SAN, so you can skip these tasks. Otherwise, work through the tasks in this section
sequentially to add a GV STRATUS server as a Proxy server to your online or production K2 SAN.

K2 SAN prerequisites for adding devices
The following K2 SAN preparations are required to support adding a device to the SAN:
• All K2 Media Servers and/or K2 RAID storage devices must be installed and cabled.
• The control network must be operational with K2 devices communicating. At the command
prompt, use the ping command to verify.
• The media network (non-redundant) or networks (redundant) must be operational. You can check
this with the K2Config application.
• K2 RAID devices must have disks bound and be configured as required for operation on the K2
SAN.
• K2 Media Servers must be configured such that an operational media file system is present.
• K2 Ethernet switches must be configured and have V-LANs set up.
• The K2 Media Server with role of file system server must be licensed as appropriate for the
design of your K2 SAN.
Verify license on K2 Media Server
The K2 SAN license is installed on K2 Media Servers with role of iSCSI bridge. If a redundant
system and/or a large system with multiple servers, the license must be installed on each K2 Media
Server with role of iSCSI bridge. Use the following steps to verify the license on each K2 Media
Server with role of iSCSI bridge.
1. On the K2 Media Server, open SabreTooth License Manager.
2. Verify that a license identified as K2-ISCSI-SVR is installed.
If the license for your K2 SAN license is not installed, you must install it before proceeding.
Adding a GV STRATUS server to a SAN
You can add a GV STRATUS server to a SAN as follows:
1. If you have not already done so, in SiteConfig, add the server to the appropriate group and verify
that it is communicating correctly on networks.
2. In the K2Config application tree view, select the name of the K2 SAN, which is the top node of
the storage system tree.
