NOTE: You lose all media with this procedure.
1. In Storage Utility, click Tools | Make New File System.
The Settings dialog box opens.
2. For Real Time Input Output (RTIOs), enter the number specified for the design of your K2 SAN.
Contact your Grass Valley representative if you do not know this number.
3. For Windows Security, configure as follows:
• If a K2 SAN with only K2 clients, leave this setting unchecked.
• If a K2 SAN with Aurora Edits, refer to the Aurora Edit Installation and Configuration Guide.
4. Click OK.
The Configuration File dialog box opens.
5. On the Configuration File dialog box, you can view media file system settings, but do not attempt
to change them. Click Accept.
A “Making new file system. Please wait” message box displays progress.
6. When a message “Succeeded to make the new file system…” appears, click OK.
7. Restart the K2 Media Server.
8. You now have a blank (empty) file system. Proceed as follows:
• On a 7.x SAN, you also have a blank database. Do not perform additional operations on the
database. Skip to the next step in this procedure.
• On a 3.x SAN, the media database still contains references to media files which are no longer
present in the file system. To clear the media database do the following:
a) In the K2Config application tree view, open the node for the K2 Media Server and select the
Database Server node to open its property page.
b) On the Database Server property page click Erase media database.
A message box displays progress.
c) Wait until a message confirms that the process is complete. This can take several minutes.
d) If you have redundant K2 Media Servers, repeat these steps to clear the media database on
the other (redundant) server.
9. Close Storage Utility.
