The K2 system appears in the Navigator pane. While Dyno PA is in the process
of establishing a connection with the system, the icon next to the K2 system
turns yellow.
NOTE: In the SAN system, the V:\ drive is displayed in the Navigator pane
under the SAN while the individual Dyno sessions are displayed under each
K2 Summit Production Client that uses the SAN for storage. In the standalone
server, the V:\ drive and Dyno sessions are all listed under the standalone
server.

About repositories
A repository is a shortcut to a location that acts as a gateway for getting media in or
out of a K2 system. Before you can set up a rule or schedule a transfer, you need to
add a repository to the K2 Dyno PA system.
In Dyno PA there are two types of repositories:
• K2 system repository
K2 system repositories simply represent a bin on a K2 system in Dyno PA. Creating
a K2 system repository allows you quick access to that bin.
For example, if a bin is nested under several parent folders on a K2 system, creating
a K2 system-based repository for this bin displays it under the top-level repository
section in the Navigator pane, which makes it easy to locate. As a repository, you
can also give the bin a name more applicable to your particular workflow.
• File System repository
File system repositories import and export assets to and from K2 systems.
Examples of file-system based repositories include: a USB drive mounted on a
connected PC, a Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive, or an Apple
Macintosh-shared drive.
NOTE: A shared network resource requires that everyone in the workgroup has
full control permissions.
Tip: If your workflow includes repositories with multiple sub-folders directly
under a top-level repository, adding the sub-folder as a session favorite makes
it easier for you to access the sub-folders without creating a separate repository
