4.3.4. Storage Devices
This page presents information about hard drives, RAIDs, or SANs connected to
your recorder. You can visualize the amount of free and used space, the serial
number of disk drives, and RAID Configuration and settings. The "Refresh"
button is used to refresh the information provided on the page. After the page
loads, you will see at the top of the page a Hard Drive Icon representing your
RAID or SAN along with a description of what type of storage device your
recorder has installed (Hardware RAID, Software RAID, or SAN). To the right of
the icon will be a status indicator if the drive is degraded or rebuilding. The red
text DEGRADED is displayed if the RAID is currently running in a degraded
state. If the RAID is rebuilding, the yellow text 'REBUILDING' will be displayed
as well as the current percentage of the rebuild that is complete. When a RAID
is degraded, there is no data redundancy so it is important to replace the failed
drive as soon as possible. Also displayed is an indicator of how full the storage
device is. On a heavily loaded system or a system that has been running for
some time, it is normal for a storage device to appear as full or almost full at all
times. This is because the recorder is usually configured to remove older,
unprotected media records as new media records begin.
