4. Identify the K2 Media Server you intend to take out of service. If there are redundant K2 Media
Servers, consider that you might trigger a failover event.
Use the Stop button in Server Control Panel as appropriate for the action that you want to take.
5. When you are sure that you understand the implications of taking the K2 Media Server out of
service, click the Stop button for that server.
6. Proceed as follows:
• If the server shuts down automatically, allow the shutdown processes to complete. Then start
the server. When a redundant server restarts, it comes up in an out of service state.
• If the server continues to run, it is in an out of service state.
