8 K2 Storage System Version 3.2.74 Release Notes October 19, 2008
Changes in previous releases
Do not use documents from the July 2007 K2 Documentation CD. The July 2007
CD is also labeled “Software version 3.2”.
Version 3.2.21
• Licensing for K2 system software — There are licensing requirements for version
3.2.74 system software. Refer to “About K2 system software licensing” later in
these release notes.
•
Expansion by bandwidth — You can add disks to increase bandwidth and expand
the media file system. You can do this while retaining existing media. If you have
media from Aurora products in your K2 Storage System, refer to the section about
bandwidth expansion for Aurora products in the K2 Storage System Instruction
Manual.
•
EULA at first startup — When you receive a K2 Media Server new from Grass
Valley, at first startup an End User License Agreement (EULA) dialog box opens
automatically on the screen. This is normal behavior and occurs only at the first
startup.
Version 3.1.14
• SQL 2005 — This release of K2 system software is qualified to work with Microsoft
SQL Server 2005, which is on new K2 Media Servers shipping from Grass Valley.
To retain compatibility, this release is also qualified to work with SQL 2000, which
is on previously shipped K2 Media Servers. Therefore, upgrading to K2 System
Software version 3.1.14 on existing systems does not require an upgrade to SQL
Server 2005.
•
RSTP GigE switch configuration — Recent testing has revealed that the HP
ProCurve Ethernet switches must have their Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
configured to RSTP, rather than STP. Some switch configuration procedures do
not have this specified. You should check this setting on your switch or switches
as soon as possible, as instructed in the K2 Storage System Instruction Manual.
Version 3.1.13
• Factory installation — This release provides updated software for pre-installation
