About K2 Summit standalone system and K2 Dyno PA DLC configuration
The following diagram shows the two paths you can follow when installing and configuring a K2
Summit standalone system with K2 Dyno PA. If you are using Dyno PA with a Pro or Elite license,
you can follow the right-hand path. If you are using Dyno PA with an Express license, follow the
left-hand path.
Each step in the installation and configuration paths is explained in detail in the following topics.

About using Browse with a K2 Summit standalone
T o use the Browse feature in a system with a standalone K2 Summit Production Client, the Quantum
StorNext Distributed LAN Client (DLC) on the K2 Summit (the DLC server) and K2 Dyno PA (the
DLC client) systems must be configured. This requires modifying the FsNameServers file on each
machine.
To set up DLC on the K2 Summit and Dyno PA systems, you need:
On the standalone K2 Summit system:
• The requirements described in K2 Dyno PA Prerequisites in the K2 Dyno PA Release Notes. For
information on configuring the K2 Summit software, consult the K2 Summit Production Client
documentation.
• If upgrading from a version earlier than K2 7.2x software, the K2 Summit system needs a unique
file system name and storage disk labels, as described in About unique file systems and K2 Dyno
PA. File system names are case sensitive.
• The FsNameServers file on all the standalone K2 Summit Production Clients must contains the
IP address of the Control ports of the name servers. There can be a maximum of three name
servers. For more information, see About the FsNameServers file in a K2 Summit standalone.
• Network adapters configured for the Dyno P A Bro wse feature. For more information, see Or dering
the Network Adapters for K2 Dyno PA.
On the K2 Dyno PA machine:
• The requirements described in K2 Dyno PA Prerequisites in the K2 Dyno PA Release Notes.
• The identical FsNameServers file that was required for the K2 Summit system must also be
located in the C:\SNFS\Config folder of every Dyno PA machine that is sharing the platform
service.
• In the Dyno PA application, the administrator must use the SNFS configuration button to add
the SNFS-configured K2 Summit Production Client that will be used with that Dyno PA.

About the FsNameServers file in a K2 Summit standalone system
To use the Browse feature of K2 Dyno PA, the FsNameServers file needs to be configured on each
K2 Summit standalone and Dyno PA machine in the system. The FsNameServers file contains the
Control network port IP addresses for each host name server in the system (up to a total of three
host name servers).
For example, if you have the following:

In this example, the FsNameServers file on all three machines would look like this:
IP address for the Control network port on
the machine

10.0.0.102K2 Dyno PA #2

About K2 Summit standalone system and K2 Dyno PA DLC configuration on page 10
About unique file systems and K2 Dyno PA
Read this section if you are upgrading from a K2 Summit system from a software version prior to
7.2. If your Summit system uses a later software version, proceed to “Ordering the network adapters
for K2 Dyno PA”.
K2 Dyno P A requires that the K2 Summit Production Client or K2 Solo Media Server ha ve a unique
file system name and unique storage disk labels. When you make a ne w file system the name changes
to “gvfs_hostname”, where hostname is the name of the stand-alone K2 system. (This is the computer
name as set in Properties under My Computer, not the name defined in the hosts table.) The file
system name is case sensitive.
As of Summit software version 7.2, new systems ship with unique file system names and disk labels.
If upgrading a system from an earlier version, the file system needs to be re-created using the Storage
Utility tool. This automatically creates unique names for the file system and the disk storage labels.
For more information on using Storage Utility, see the K2 System Guide. Once the K2 system has
a file system name and disk labels that are unique, proceed to “Ordering the network adapters for
K2 Dyno PA”.
