• In the K2Config application tree view, open the node for the K2 client. This exposes the nodes
for individual configuration pages. Select the Software configuration page to view software
version information. To check for recent changes in software, click the Check button.
• Use SiteConfig software deployment features.
Modifying K2 client control network settings
To modify the hostname or IP address of a K2 client, use the following procedure. Refer to other
procedures for the details of individual steps.
Whenever you modify control network settings or FTP/streaming network settings on any device,
you must then redeploy the hosts file if that is your name resolution mechanism.
1. Make sure you know the load balancing (bandwidth) parameters currently set for the K2 client
in the K2Config application. You must reconfigure these parameters later in this procedure.
2. If a K2 Summit system, disable the write filter. You can do this in K2Config or in K2Config.
3. In SiteConfig, remove the K2 client.
4. In the K2Config application, remove the K2 client from the K2 SAN.
5. In SiteConfig, add the K2 client to a K2 SAN as follows:
a) In the Network Configuration tree view, add the client as a placeholder device next to existing
clients.
b) Discover devices.
c) Identify the K2 client you are adding.
d) Assign the discovered K2 client to placeholder K2 client.
e) Verify that networks are assigned and planned network interface settings applied.
6. Edit hosts files or other name resolution mechanisms for all the devices of the K2 SAN. You
can use SiteConfig for this task.
7. In the K2Config application, add the K2 client as a new device to the K2 SAN, load balancing
the K2 client just as it was previously. This is important, as you want the K2Config application
to assign it to the same available bandwidth on the same iSCSI target as previously.
8. If a K2 Summit system, enable the write filter. You can do this in K2Config or in K2Config.

Modifying K2 client media (iSCSI) network settings
If IP address to which you are changing is in a different subnet, do not use this procedure. Instead,
remove, then add the K2 client.
If the iSCSI network address to which you are changing is within the same subnet and range as the
current iSCSI network, use the following procedure.
1. Stop media access on the K2 client.
2. If a K2 Summit system, disable the write filter. You can do this in K2Config or in K2Config.
3. Use SiteConfig to change the IP address. Make sure that the IP address is within the subnet and
range designated for the network.
