2. On the File System Server Configuration page select one of the following:
• No reference file — K2 software does not create reference files.
• QuickTime reference file — K2 software creates QuickTime reference files.
• MXF reference file — K2 software creates MXF reference files.
3. Click Check to apply the setting.
4. Manage the required K2 Media Server restart as follows:
• On a SAN that is already configured, you must restart the K2 Media Server to put the change
into effect. Follow the restart procedure appropriate for the basic or redundant K2 SAN.
• On a SAN that is not yet fully configured, continue to work through the Configure K2 Server
wizard. The restart at the end of the configuration process is sufficient.
If a redundant K2 SAN, you must configure similarly and restart both K2 Media Servers with role
of file system server.
Managing redundancy on a K2 SAN
If you have a redundant K2 SAN, use the procedures in this section to control the primary/redundant
roles of the K2 Media Servers.
Identifying current primary/backup K2 Media Servers
Before attempting any configuration or service work on a redundant K2 Media Server, you must
know if the server is the current primary server or the current backup server for the media file system
and the metadata service. While most configuration and service work can be accomplished on a
backup server without affecting the operation of the SAN, if you attempt configuration or service
work on the operating primary server, it will likely result in record/play failures and/or a loss of
media.
To identify the current primary/backup K2 Media Server, use one or more of the methods
described in the following procedures.
Identifying primary/backup from NetCentral
While monitoring the K2 Media Server in NetCentral, do the following:
1. In the NetCentral tree view, select the K2 Media Server.
2. Click the Facility view control button
3. Open the Roles subsystem
4. Click the Media Database Server or Metadata Server link.
The Media Database Server dialog box opens and reports the Failover Mode as either Primary
or Backup.
Identifying primary/backup from the K2Config application
1. In the tree view, select the name of the K2 SAN, which is the top node of the storage system
tree.
