Configuring GV STRATUS Control Panel: Required settings
All systems, all workflows, require this process. Configure GV STRATUS Database, proxy, Summit,
proxy encoder, and other settings that the GV STRATUS system requires regardless of the site's
unique workflow or system design.
If you received your system pre-configured from Grass Valley, your required settings are already
configured, so you can skip these tasks. Otherwise, work through the topics in this section.
This section provides the configuration steps that are required for all systems.

Prepare for configuration
Do the following to verify systems and tools are ready for configuration:
•
In the GV STRATUS Control Panel, do one or both of the following:
•
If your system has a K2 SAN, click
Core | K2 Storage | K2 SAN Storage
and verify that the
information for the K2 SAN is the same information that is in K2Config. If the information
is the same, it means that the Control Panel application is correctly reading the information
from the K2Config application.
•
If your system has a standalone K2 Summit system, click
Core | K2 Storage | K2 Standalone
Storage
and verify that the information for the K2 Summit system is the same information
that is in SiteConfig. If the information is the same, it means that the Control Panel application
is correctly reading the information from the SiteConfig application.
•
From each machine in the GV STRATUS system, verify that you can ping all the devices that
the GV STRATUS server needs to communicate with over the control network.
•
For the machines that need to communicate with a Proxy server, verify you can log in to that
Proxy server using the credentials that the system will be using.
Begin by configuring STRATUS Core Services settings.
