Create the Control Team
Create the Control Team
Only shared storage K2 Media Clients are required to have a control team, as
instructed in the following procedure. Refer to the K2 Media Client System Guide if
you want to optionally team an internal storage K2 Media Client.
Teams are not supported on external storage stand-alone K2 Media Clients with
direct-connect RAID storage.
On shared storage K2 Media Clients, the goal of teaming is to create a team for the
control network. There is no team for the media (iSCSI) network. The teaming should
be set up such that the first physical port on the motherboard and the first physical port
on the dual Ethernet adapter are teamed for control.
Prior to K2 system software release 3.2.5x in the Fall of 2007, there was a bug in the
teaming software for which the work around required creating a team named “DO
NOT USE”. With release 3.2.5x., drivers were updated and the bug was fixed. The fix
is available on K2 Media Clients shipping after the release of 3.2.5x. Earlier K2
Media Clients retain the same drivers, even if the system software is updated, and so
must use continue to use the “DO NOT USE” work around if teaming must be
reconfigured. Use the procedure appropriate for your K2 Media Client.
Create the Control Team on systems shipping before 3.2.5x
Use this procedure if the K2 Media Client shipped from Grass Valley prior to release
3.2.5x in the Fall of 2007.
