K2 SAS STORAGE

The K2 Level 10 (L10) storage system was initially released with K2 system software version 3.2 in September 2007.

The Level 10 storage system has one Gigabit Ethernet switch, one GS K2 Media Server, and one L10 RAID chassis. Up to four RAID Expansion chassis a re opt i onal for increased storage capacity.

K2 Media Clients and other iSCSI clients, such as Aurora Edits, are connected to the GigE switch. Each K2 Medi a Client has one GigE connection for media ( iSCSI ) an d one GigE connection fo r control. The GigE switch i s configured with V-LANs to keep the control/FTP traffic and the media (iSCSI) traffic separate.

The GS K2 Media Server has one GigE connection for media (iSCSI), one GigE connection for control, one GigE connection for FTP, and one Fibre Channel connection to the RAID st orage. The server host s an iSCSI interface card for the GigE media connection and a Fibre Channel card for the RAID storage connection. The iSCSI interface card pr ovides a bridge bet ween GigE iSCSI and Fibre Channel SCSI. The server also hosts software components that allow it to fun ction in various roles, including media file syst em manager, media data base server, and FTP s erver. The GS K2 Media Server has redundant power supplies.

The L10 RAID chassis is connected via a s in gle Fibre Channel conn ect ion to the K2 Media Server. It is al so conn ected t o th e GigE c ontro l networ k, wh ich is requi red fo r SNMP (NetCen tral) monitoring.

Preparing K2 Storage System clients

Any devices that function as iS CSI clients to the K2 Storage Syst em must be prepared with the following requirements:

• One or more connections to the control network.

• A static IP address for t he control network.

• For a non-redundant K2 Storage System, one connection to the media (iSCSI) network.

Additional steps that are required for Aurora Edits include the following:

• Implement Aurora Edit security features.

• Install SNFS softwar e and K2 software.

For more informati on, refer to the Aurora Edit Ins tallation and Confi guration Guide. For more information refer to the K2 Media Client System Guide.

K2 configuration and NetCentral

Before you begin using the K2 System Configuration application to configure the storage system, you should set up the NetCentral system according to the following requirements:

•

NetCentral installed — NetCentral server software must be installed on a

NetCentral server PC. This can be the K2 configuration Control Point PC or another PC that has network communication with the K2 Storage System control network.

Device providers instal led — A device pr ovider must be ins talled on the NetCentral

• server PC for each t ype of devic e in the K2 S torage System. For a Level 10 storage system, the following device providers must be installed:

• Control point PC device provider — This is the Windows monitoring device

provider.

• K2 Media Server device provider

• HP Gigabit Switch device provider or Cisco Gigabit Switch device provider

• K2 Media Client device provider, if any K2 Media Clients are accessing the

Level 10 storage system.

• Device provider for iSCSI clients, if any iSCSI clients such as Aurora Edits are

accessing the Level 10 storage system.

• K2 L10 RAID storage device provider. This device provider supports RAID devices for Levels 10, 20, and 30.

•

Grass Valley PC Monitor ing software in stalled — This soft ware must be instal led on

the K2 configuration Co ntrol Point PC. It includes Grass Valley SNMP agents and other WMI based components to perform process monitoring. This provides the informati on for some of the SNMP trap messages that must be sent to NetCentral.

Control Point PC monitored by NetCentral — The K2 configuration Control Point

• PC should be added to the NetCentral system and fully monitored by NetCentral. This means t hat its SNMP trap destinati on is set to send SNMP traps to the NetCentral server PC. Whether the Control Point PC and the NetCentral server PC are the same PC or are different PCs, you should still add the Control Point PC to NetCentral.

Refer to the NetCentral User Guide to set up the NetCentral system. After installing a device provider, you can find addition al doc ument at ion about monitoring that t ype of device on the NetCentral Help menu.

June 25, 2009 K2 Storage System Instruction Manual 57

Chapter 2 Installing the Level 10 Storage System

Networking for Level 10

Use the topics in this section to configure the Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) network for the Level 10 storage system.

• “Networking requirements” on page 58

• “Networking tips” on page 59

• “Setting up host tables” on page 60

• “Testing the control network” on page 61

Network ing requirements

Required networking strategies for a Level 10 K2 Storage System (a non-redundant K2 Storage System) are as follows:

• Three networks:

• Media network — Exclusively for iSCSI traffic.

• Streaming/FTP network — For media transfers and FTP traffic.

• Control network — For all other non-streaming, non-iSCSI traffic.

• Networks must be on separate subnets.

• The Media (iSCSI) network traffic is kept separate from any other traffic. This separation is provided by dedicated Gigabit ports, cables, and by a dedicated VLAN on the HP GigE switch or by separate switches.

• K2 Media Servers have a dedica ted FTP port. Make a dedic ated FTP connection to the FTP port.

• While control a nd FTP tr affic i s each on i ts own subne t, it is not requi red that each type of traffic has its own VLAN on GigE switches. For example, you make both FTP and control connections to the “control” ports ( DEFAULT_VLAN) on the HP GigE switch.

• While the Level 10 K2 Media Server (both redun dant and non-r edundant) has two media (iSCSI) ports, only one is used.

• Static IP addresses are required for the media network on K2 Storage System iSCSI devices. This includes K2 Media Servers, generic iSCSI clients (such as Aurora Edits), and K2 Media Clients.

• Machine names (host names) assigned to each K2 device.

• Host tables (host s fi le s) pr ovi de name reso lut i on on each K2 Media Client, iSCSI client, and K2 Media Server.

• IP addresses for FTP/streaming ports must have name resolution such that hostnames are appended with the “_he0” suffix. You can use host tables (as in

“Setting up host tables” on page 60) or another mechanism to provide the name

resolution. This directs the streaming traffic to the correct port. Refer to the K2 Media Client System Guide for a complete explanation.

• K2 Media Servers (including optional NH servers) must be on the streaming network, as they provide the FTP interface for shared storage streaming traffic.

58 K2 Storage System Instruction Manual June 25, 2009

Shared storage K2 Media Clients do not need to be on the streaming network because they do not send or receive streaming traffic.

• On the shared storage K2 Media Client, the two con trol GigE port s are configured

as a team. The control team shares a single IP addr ess. Do not attempt to un-team the control ports. On the Level 10 K2 Storage System, only one control port is connected, as control team redundancy is not supported.

• On the shared storage K2 Media Client, the two media (i SCSI) GigE ports ar e not

teamed. On the Level 10 K2 Stor age Sys tem, on ly one media port is conne cted, as iSCSI redundancy is not supported.

Use the following procedures as necessary to implement your networking strategies.

NOTE: It is recommended that you c onfigure Med ia network (iSCSI) I P addresses and Streaming network IP addresses using the K2 System Configuration application, rather than doing so on the local machine using standard Windows procedures.

Networking tips

• Before beginning network configuration, determine the IP addresses and names

needed for the machines in your K2 system. Work wi th the ne twork adminis trat or at your facility to have those IP addresses and names available for your use.

• Establish a consistent convention for machine names and IP addresses. It is

recommended that you embed a root name or other unique identifier for this particular K2 Storage System in the computer name. Also, a common convention for IP addresses is to use a numerical pattern or sequence in the IP addresses to indicate device-types and/or ports, as in the following example:

NOTE: This example assumes a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

Chapter 2 Installing the Level 10 Storage System

This IP address must resolve to hostname root-server-1_he0

Setting up host tables

The hosts file is used by the control network and the streaming/FTP network to determine the IP address of devices on the network when only a the device name (hostname) is given. The steps that fol l o w descr ib e how to edit th e hosts file located at C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server operating s ystem comp uters. If you includ e the na mes and addre sses of al l the devices on the netw ork, then you can cop y the same file ont o all th e other K2 devices instead of editing the hosts file on each K2 device.

For FTP transfers on a K2 Storage System, transfers go to/from K2 Media Server s that have the role of FTP server. No transfers go directly to/from the shared storage K2 Media Clients that are on the K2 Storage System. So in the hosts file, you must add the “he_0” extension to a K2 Media Server hostname and associate that hostname with the K2 Media Server’s FTP/streaming network IP address.

Refer to the K2 Media Client System Guide for more information. To edit the hosts file manually:

1. Open the following file using Notepad or some other text editing application:

C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

2. Enter all IP addresses with machine names. The text format is simple. First type the Ethernet IP address, t hen use the TAB key or Space ba r to insert a few spaces. T hen type the machine name.

Here is an example:

192.168.100.11 root-server-1

192.168.101.11 root-server-1_he0

192.168.100.51 root-raid-1

192.168.100.61 root-gige-1

3. Save the file and exit the text editor.

4. Copy the new hosts fi le onto al l the oth er mac hin es. This is easier than edit ing the file on each machine.

Host table tips

• If transferring to or from a Profile XP or Open SAN system via UIM, the hosts file must also follow UIM naming conventions for those systems. Refer to the UIM Instruction Manual.

• Do not enter media (iSCSI) network IP addresses in the host table, as hostname resolution is not required for the media network.

• Use the following tip with care. While it can solve a problem, it also introduces a name resolution “anomaly” that might be confusing if not considered in future troubleshooting act iv ities.

For each SAN (shared storage) K2 Media Client, add the “_he0” suffix to the hostname but then associate that hostname with the K2 Media Server’s FTP/

60 K2 Storage System Instruction Manual June 25, 2009

streaming network IP ad dre ss , not th e K2 M edi a Client’s IP address. Aliasing K2 Media Client hostnames in this way would not be required if the transfer source/ destination was always correctl y specified as the K2 Media Server. H owever, a common mistake is to a ttempt a transfer in whic h the source/destinati on is incorrectly specified as the K2 Media Client. The host file aliasing corrects this mistake and redirects to the K2 Media Server, which is the correct transfer source/ destination.

An example of a hosts file entry with this type of aliasing is as follows:

192.168.101.11 server-1_he0 client-1_he0 client-2_he0

Testing the control network

To test the control network use the ping command as follows:

Testing the control network

1. On the control point PC, click

2. Type cmd and click

OK. The command prompt window opens.

Start | Run. The Run dialog box opens.

3. Type ping, then a spa ce, then the name of one of your K2 Sto rage System devices,

such as the Gigabit Ethernet switch, as in the following example:

ping root-gige-1

4. Press

Enter.

The ping command should return the IP address of the device, as in the following example:

Pinging root-gige-1.mycorp.com [192.168.100.61] with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 192.168.100.61: bytes=32 time=10ms TTL=127 Reply from 192.168.100.61: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=127 Reply from 192.168.100.61: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=127 Reply from 192.168.100.61: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=127

This verifies that the name of the device is being correctly resolved to the IP address, which indicat es that on the Control Poin t PC the host table entry is correct.

5. Ping the other K2 Storage System devices to which you have assigned control

network IP addresses.

6. Go to each Windows device in the K2 Storage System and repeat this procedure.

This verifies that network communication is correct to and from all devices.

The K2 Level 10 Redundant (L10R) storage system was initially released with K2 system software version 3.2 in September 2007.

82 K2 Storage System Instruction Manual June 25, 2009

The Level 10R storage system has two Gigabit Ethernet switches connected by Inter-Switch Link s (ISLs) to su pport a redundant Ethernet fabric. Th e storage system also has redundant GS K2 Media Servers. The servers are conf igured to have id entical roles. This provides redundancy for database, file system, iSCSI bridge, and FTP roles. One L10 RAID supports redundant Fibre Channel connections. Up to four Expansion chassis are optional for increased storage capacity.

K2 Media Clients have a pai r of redundant (te amed) Gigabit Ethernet p orts for control and two Gigabit Ether net po rts ( A and B) for me dia ( iSCSI). Each por t of the c ontrol team is connected to a di ff ere nt switch. The A media port goe s t o t he A Gi gE switch and the B media port goes to the B GigE switch. The GigE switches are configured with V-LANs to keep the control/FTP and media (iSCSI) traffic separate.

Each GS K2 Media Server has one GigE connection for media (iSCSI), one GigE connection for control, one GigE connection for FTP, and one Fibre Channel connection to the RAID storage. All GigE connections on a server go to the same GigE switch. The server hosts an iSCSI interface ca rd for the GigE media connection and a Fibre Channel card for the RAI D storage connection . The iSCSI interface c ar d provides a bridge between GigE iSCSI and Fib re Channel SCSI. The server also hosts software components that allow it to function in its roles, including media file system manager, media database server, and FTP server. Redundant K2 Media Servers are

connected by a seri al cable which s upports the hear tbeat signal required for automatic system recovery (fail ove r) fea tu res . Each GS K2 Media Server has redundan t powe r supplies.

The L10 RAID chassis has redu ndan t RAID c ontrol lers t o suppo rt t he Fib re Channel connections from the K2 Me dia Ser ve rs. The L10 RAID chassis is a ls o co nnected to the GigE control network, which is required for SNMP (NetCentral) monitoring.

On the L10 RAID chassis there are two RAID 1 RANKs (also know as LUNs) for media file syste m metadata fil es and journal f iles. The rema inder of the RAID s torage is RAID 5 or RAID 6 for media.

The K2 configuration control po int PC is co nnected to the GigE cont rol network. The K2 System Configuration application runs on this PC for configuring the storage system.

FTP/streaming traffic accesses the K2 Storage System via the FTP GigE port on K2 Media Servers. FTP/streaming traffic does not go to K2 Media Clients.

Refer to Chapter 9, Description of K2 Storage Devices for more information. Also refer to “Design considerations for Ethernet switches” on page 559.

Cabling the switch

• Install the switches in their permanent location.

• Provide power to the switches.

• Use CAT5e or CAT6 cables. The maximum cable length is 50 meters for CAT5e and 100 meters for CAT6.

• Connect cables as follows:

2900 series switch

To the media ports on switch A, make t he “A” media (iSCSI) network c onnecti on from each K2 Media Client. Also make the media (iSCSI) connection from K2 Media Server A.

To the media ports on swit ch B, make the “B” media (i SCSI) net wor k co nnection from each K2 Media Client. Also make the media (iSCSI) connection from K2 Media Server B.

To the control ports o n switch A, make one connect ion from each K2 Media Cli ent, from RAID controller 0, and from the control point PC. Also make the control network connection and the FTP network connection from K2 Media Server A.

To the control ports on switch B, make the second control connection from each K2 Media Client, and from RAID controller 1. Also make the control network connection and the FTP network connection from K2 Media Server B.

If you have other iSCSI clients, such as Aurora Edits, that have just one iSCSI connection and one contr ol connection, appro ximately half of the cli ents should be connected to switc h A and half of the cl ients sh ould be con nected to switch B. In a failover event, only the clients connected to one of the switches will remain operational, so make connections accordingly. Connect the client’s iSCSI connection to one of the media ports on a swit ch and the client’ s control connection to one of the control ports on the same switch.

Interconnect switch A and switch B with three 1 Gig ISLs.

Refer to cabling procedures later in this chapter fo r the GigE connections at each of the devices of the K2 Storage System.

Preparing K2 Storage System clients

Any devices that function as iS CSI clients to the K2 Storage Syst em must be prepared with the following requirements:

• One or more connections to the control network.

• A static IP address for t he control network.

• For a redundant K2 Storage Syst em, K2 Media Clients have one conn ection to the A media (iSCSI) network and one connection to the B media (iSCSI) network. Other iSCSI clients with just one media port connect to either the A or the B network.

Additional steps that are required for Aurora Edits include the following:

• Implement Aurora Edit security features.

• Install SNFS softwar e and K2 software.

For more informati on, refer to the Aurora Edit Ins tallation and Confi guration Guide. Additional steps that are required for K2 Media Clients include the following:

• You must install Multi-path I/O software if the K2 Media Client connects to the K2 Storage System with a redundant Ethernet (iSCSI) fabric. For example, the following K2 Storage Systems have a redundant Ethernet fabric:

•Level 2R

•Level 3R

• Level 10R

• Level 20R

• Level 30R

For more information refer to the K2 Media Client System Guide.
