can import the SiteConﬁg system description ﬁle into the K2Conﬁg application to get you started

with your SAN conﬁguration.

After your K2 SAN is initially installed and conﬁgured, if you need to reconﬁgure the system you

should do so using SiteConﬁg and the K2Conﬁg application. This enforces consistent policy and

sequencing for conﬁguration tasks, which makes the system easier to maintain and aids in

troubleshooting should a problem arise.

The K2Conﬁg application runs on a control point PC and accesses the devices of the K2 SAN via

the control network. You can conﬁgure the devices of the K2 SAN as follows:

• SAN-attached K2/Summit systems and K2 Media Server — These devices are conﬁgured directly

by the K2Conﬁg application.

• K2 RAID storage devices — The K2Conﬁg application launches a remote instance of Storage

Utility, which conﬁgures RAID storage devices. Storage Utility components run on the K2 Media

Server and the conﬁguration actually takes place via the Fibre Channel connection between the

K2 Media Server and the RAID storage device.

• Ethernet switches — The K2Conﬁg application can launch a switch’s web-based conﬁguration

application.

You can expand and select nodes in the tree view to view K2 SANs, individual devices, and

conﬁguration settings. The conﬁguration ﬁle is saved on the V: drive, along with the media ﬁles in

the shared storage system. The conﬁguration ﬁle is updated and saved whenever you change a

conﬁguration using the K2Conﬁg application. That is why you must always use the K2Conﬁg

application to change settings on the storage system, so the most recently changed conﬁgurations

will always be stored in the conﬁguration ﬁle and displayed.
