Grass Valley GV STRATUS Installation v.3.1 - Manual (Page 396)

The Proxy Encoder license is installed on the GV STRATUS server that does the proxy encoding.
One STRATUS-PROXYENCODER license is required for each encoder stream.
If you received your system pre-configured from Grass Valley, licenses are already installed, so
you can skip these tasks. Otherwise, do the following:
1. Refer to the license sheet that you received with your GV STRATUS license. The license sheet
has the Sales Order number that you need.
2. On each GV STRATUS server that does proxy encoding, run the SabreTooth License Manager,
generate a unique ID, and send the email to Grass Valley requesting your license or licenses.
Refer to "GV STRATUS Release Notes" for detailed licensing procedures.
3. When you receive your license file, use SabreTooth License Manager and install it on the server.
K2Config Proxy Encoder setup
Only systems with a Proxy Encoder attached to an online or production K2 SAN require this process.
If you received your system pre-configured from Grass Valley, your Proxy Encoder is already set
up on the K2 SAN, so you can skip these tasks. Otherwise, work through the topics in this section
sequentially to add a GV STRATUS Proxy Encoder 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.
