Replacing an iSCSI interface adapter (TOE card)
Prerequisites are as follows:
• The K2 SAN must be at K2 system software version 3.2.7 or higher before you begin this
procedure.
• K2 system software version must be the same on all K2 Media Servers, before and after you
replace the iSCSI interface adapter or adapters.
• If the K2 Media Server has two single-port adapters and the replacement adapter is a dual port
adapter, you must remove both single-port adapters, even though only one adapter is faulty, and
replace them with the dual-port adapter.
1. In the K2Config application, for the K2 Media Server with the adapter or adapters you are
replacing, open the iSCSI bridge page and identify the ports on the adapter or adapters.
2. For the ports on the adapter or adapters you are replacing, make a note of the IP addresses and
subnet mask settings.
Later in this procedure you must assign these same settings to ports on the replacement adapter.
3. Close the K2Config application.
4. Take the clients of the K2 SAN offline and take all K2 Media Servers out of service.
5. If you are replacing two single-port adapters with a dual-port adapter, uninstall K2 system
software from the K2 Media Server.
6. Power down the K2 Media Server and replace the iSCSI interface adapter or adapters. Refer to
the service documentation on the Dell Documentation CD for procedures. If you are replacing
two single-port adapters with a dual-port adapter, install the dual-port adapter in slot 2. Leave
slot 3 empty.
7. Power up the K2 Media Server.
8. If you are replacing two single-port adapters with a dual-port adapter, install the current versions
of K2 system software (version 3.2.7 or higher is required) on the K2 Media Server and then
restart the K2 Media Server.
9. In the K2Config application, open the iSCSI bridge page for that K2 Media Server. It displays
iSCSI interface adapters on the K2 Media Server, identified by MAC address. Notice that on
replacement adapter ports the MAC address is different than it was on the former adapter, the
IP addresses is set to 0.0.0.0, and bandwidth subscription set to 0.
10. Do the following for the replacement iSCSI interface adapter or adapters on the K2 Media Server:
a) Select each port and set it to the same IP addresses\subnet mask as formerly assigned.
b) Apply the settings.
When the IP address is set successfully, the K2Config application automatically applies the
same bandwidth subscription that was previously assigned to that IP address. The iSCSI
bridge page updates and displays the bandwidth subscription.
