About custom K2 Storage Systems
About custom K2 Storage Systems
Custom systems are those that do not fit one of the pre-defined Level 2, 3, 10, 20, or
30 configurations. For example, a K2 Storage System with Fibre Channel attached K2
Media Clients is considered a custom system. Custom systems that are an extension
of Level 2 or 3 are considered to be Level 4 systems. Custom systems that are an
extension of Level 10, 20, or 30 are considered to be Level 40 systems. Only qualified
Grass Valley personnel should attempt to design, install, and configure custom
systems.
The K2 documentation set is intended for customers with pre-defined Level 2, 3, 10,
20, or 30 systems. While much of the information also applies to custom systems,
consult your Grass Valley representative before using Level 2, 3, 10, 20, or 30
procedures on a custom system.
About K2 system software licensing
K2 system software version 3.2.74 must be licensed. Licensing is enforced at the K2
Media Client, so every K2 Media Client running version 3.2.74 must have a valid
license in place. Also, you must upgrade a control point PC to version 3.2.74 in order
to access a version 3.2.74 K2 Media Client. No license is required on the K2 Media
Server.
K2 Media Clients shipping new from the factory have version 3.2.74 pre-installed
with a permanent license in place, so no licensing steps are required. However, if you
upgrade an existing K2 Media Client from a version lower than 3.2 to version 3.2.74,
the software installs with a trial license in place. You must procure a permanent
license from Grass Valley and install it on the K2 Media Client before the trial period
expires. For licensing procedures, refer to the K2 Media Client Release Notes.
Upgrading software on the K2 Storage System
NOTE: These upgrade instructions assume that current K2 software is at version
3.0.1.4 or higher. If you have a lower version of software, contact Grass Valley
Support before upgrading.
