About ChannelFlex Suite on existing K2 systems
When you use ChannelFlex Suite features you increase the number of inputs and
outputs on the K2 system. To support this increased load on system resources, you
must adjust your system, as follows:
• Stand-alone K2 systems – This includes internal storage K2 Summit Production
Clients, direct-connect storage K2 Summit Production Clients, and K2 Solo Media
Servers. These system require an updated RTIO setting. You update this setting as
a required step in the upgrade to 7.2. Refer to upgrade procedures earlier in these
release notes.
• K2 SANs – These system might require additional disks for bandwidth and
additional K2 Media Servers to act as iSCSI bridges (TOEs), depending on the
number and type of inputs and outputs you are adding by your use of ChannelFlex
Suite features. Contact your Grass Valley representative to evaluate your system
and its suitability for supporting your use of ChannelFlex Suite.
