Upgrade RAID Controller microcode on stand-alone K2 system
Do not do this task if one of the following is true:
• A K2 Solo Media Server
• A K2 Summit Production Client installed new with K2 software version 7.1.x or
higher, in which case a compatible version of RAID controller microcode is
pre-installed.
• A K2 Summit Production Client with internal storage and with RAID controller
microcode already upgraded to a compatible version, as listed in compatibility
specifications.
• A K2 Summit Production Client with direct-connect storage and with RAID
controller and/or expansion chassis microcode already at compatible versions, as
listed in compatibility specifications.
Do this task if:
• A K2 Summit Production Client with internal storage and with RAID controller
microcode that you need to upgrade, as listed in compatibility specifications.
• A K2 Summit Production Client with direct-connect storage and with RAID
controller and/or expansion chassis microcode that you need to upgrade, as listed
in compatibility specifications.
For internal storage K2 Summit/Solo systems, find compatibility specifications at
Compatible K2 Summit Production Client and K2 Solo Media Server components on
page 11. For a K2 Summit Production Client with direct-connect storage, find
compatibility specifications at Compatible K2 Lx0 RAID components on page 15.
1. Open AppCenter Workstation, either on the local K2 system or on the control point
PC and logon.
Make sure you logon to AppCenter with appropriate privileges, as this logon is
passed to Storage Utility. Administrator-level permission is necessary for most
Storage Utility operations. If you log in with user-level permissions, the Storage
Utility menu item is disabled.
2. If you are running AppCenter from a control point PC and you have channels from
multiple K2 systems in your channel suite, select a channel from the stand-alone
K2 system whose storage you intend to configure with Storage Utility. This is
important as Storage Utility automatically connects to the K2 system that hosts the
currently selected channel.
NOTE: Make sure you are connecting to a stand-alone K2 system. You should
never connect Storage Utility directly to a K2 system that uses shared (SAN)
storage.
3. From the AppCenter System menu, select Storage Utility.
Storage Utility opens.
