1. Open AppCenter Workstation, either on the local K2 system or on the control point PC and
logon.
Make sure you logon to AppCenter with appropriate privileges, as this logon is passed to Storage
Utility. Administrator-level permission is necessary for most Storage Utility operations. If you
log in with user-level permissions, the Storage Utility menu item is disabled.
2. If you are running AppCenter from a control point PC and you have channels from multiple K2
systems in your channel suite, select a channel from the stand-alone K2 system whose storage
you intend to con gure with Storage Utility. This is important as Storage Utility automatically
connects to the K2 system that hosts the currently selected channel.
NOTE: Make sure you are connecting to a stand-alone K2 system. You should never connect
Storage Utility directly to a K2 system that uses shared (SAN) storage.
3. From the AppCenter
Storage Utility opens.
4. If you are connecting from a control point PC, you should verify that you are connected to the
correct K2 system. To verify this, use the Identify feature to ash the disks on the K2 system.
5. Select the controller in the Storage Utility tree view, then in the properties reported in the
right-hand pane, note the controller microcode version. Proceed if you need to upgrade the
controller microcode.
