5.1.2 Notes on Formatting the Video Hard Disks
This section provides some information that you should observe if
you want to format the video storage of the Pronto2K/ProntoHD.
The Pronto2K/ProntoHD uses several video hard disks configured to
a stripe set as the location where to store the video data. If you want
to format the video hard disks, please observe the following:
! If appropriate, log on to the video system with administrative
rights.
! Select the appropriate tool to format hard disks, for example, a
standard file manager.
!
Before initiating a format, configure the formatting process to the
following:
– Activate the ’Quick Format’ option to speed up the formatting
process.
– Select the file format ’NTFS’ to format the stripe set.
– Specify 64 KB as the allocation unit size.
– Assign as the volume label the name
Clipster-Storage-
XXXX
(with
XXXX
standing for the capacity of the Pronto2K/
ProntoHD storage in gigabyte) to the stripe set.
When the formatting process is finished, you can select the stripe set
as a normal disk drive in a standard file manager and use it for your
video data again.
In general, a configuration and formatting of hard disks is part
of how the operating system manages hard disks. The follow-
ing provides some hints only. Further details and descriptions
can be found in the documentation of the operating system or
the respective tool.
A formatting of the video hard disks will erase all existing
data on the disks.
Some DVS maintenance tools depend on a correct
drive letter (
V:\
) and name for the Pronto2K/ProntoHD
stripe set.
Do not activate the ’Enable Compression’ check box.
For performance reasons it is strongly recommended to dis-
able the ’Indexing Service’ of the video disk drive (the format-
ted stripe set) via its properties in a file manager.
