Storage Mounts Node fields
Name
Description
Default
Status
Indicates current RM connectivity status to the storage mount. One of two
will be displayed here:
— RM has good connectivity with the storage mount
— storage mount is in the RM’s database, but there is no current
connectivity.
Red checkmark
— RM has connectivity to the device, but the device is
disabled or otherwise degraded.
Blue dots
Name
Specifies the name the RM will use when referencing the storage server.
When setting this parameter, use a unique name.
Empty
Mount Type
Specifies the type of storage server used. Choices are:
NFS
— Network File System (common client/server file storage system)
NFS4
— Network File System (common client/server file storage system)
GPFS
— no longer supported.
Webdav-Light
— HTTP-based.With this setting, Recorders write output
to the storage node using HTTP, and JITP nodes will read segment files
using HTTP. This eliminates the need to configure and use NFS.
Empty
URL
For NFS access only.
Specifies the hostname or IP address and mount
point path of the storage server where content will be stored. Proper
format should be as follows:
Two methods of configuration are available for NFS:
Direct NFS access: In this case, the JITP server accesses the content
directly via mount. Proper format should be as follows:
[ip addr or hostname]
:/
[root directory]
/
[sub-directory]
/
[directory ..n]
nfs://myhost.domain.com:/ndvr/nfs-1/content
HTTP NFS or Webdav-Light access: In this case, the JITP uses HTTP to
access the content. Proper format should be as follows:
http://
[ip addr or hostname]
/
[directory]
/
http://10.32.128.200/ndvr/content
Note: for GPFS, this field is autopopulated with the mount path once a
GPFS node is added.
