SCSI device is read only. It indicates the hardware in use and where it is located in the
network.
Select the values that you prefer for the Vault from the following:
Field Meaning
Virtual memory used for
each data stream cache
This setting defines how much virtual memory is set aside
for incoming and outgoing data during file storage and
retrieval. A larger cache may improve performance but will
do so at the expense of using more virtual memory. The
total amount of space used equals the number of data
streams multiplied by the selected cache size. So, if you
select 10 data streams and 10 MB of cache, the Vault will
set aside 100 MB of total virtual memory for caching data.
A selection of 10 MB is usually sufficient.
Location where
temporary files can be
stored This setting enables you to define where the working
cache will be located. The default location is '<install-dir>/
WorkingCache'.
When Buffalo Surveillance Server is processing files, it
sometimes creates temporary files. These enable Buffalo
Surveillance Server to work more quickly and efficiently
and are especially important when you are clipping video
files. Temporary files are kept in the "working cache."
The changes you make here will override the values
you entered when you first added the Vault using
the
Add or Remove Vault Wizard .
Amount of disk space
that can be used This setting defines how much working cache space
Buffalo Surveillance Server will be permitted to use for
temporary files.
The working cache should be large enough to hold
multiple large video files. The default size is 100 GB.
Click [ OK ] to save the new settings.
Database
Use the Database tab to change when the selected Vault is optimized, set the maximum
number of files that can be open at a single time, and set the amount of virtual memory the
selected Vault uses.
