When the creating is completed, the following window is displayed:
Figure 6-44 Volume
Repeat the above steps to create a new volume when you installed another disk.
The storage page displays the volume information including physical position, total capacity,
used and free space, and associated commands such as Format and Delete. Since each
volume contains only 1 hard drive, detailed information about the hard drive is also displayed
on this page.
You can format an existing storage volume in situations such as when you need to re-deploy
the system elsewhere.
Disk Information
Model family: The brand name of the HDD manufacturer.
Device model: The disk model name.
Serial number: Serial number assigned to the disk drive.
Firmware version: The version of firmware running on this disk drive.
Last check: The bad block check or S.M.A.R.T. test previously executed on this drive.
Settings
57
Status: S.M.A.R.T. status polled from the disk drive. This is not the results from a manually-
executed S.M.A.R.T. test.
Attribute name: The various attributes can vary from different HDD manufacturers. Value:
Value for the currently selected attribute.
Worst: Worst value acquired for that attribute.
Threshold: A predefined threshold or triggering value. The threshold below which the
normalized value will be considered exceeding specifications.
Raw value: The detected parameters for that attribute.
Status: The judgement made to deem the current reading as OK or failed.
Verify
Click Verify on Figure 6-42 to check the disk status. Three types of check disk actions can be
initiated through this button.
Bad block: Performs read/write test to drive sectors to locate bad blocks. This action may take
several hours to complete.
Fast S.M.A.R.T.: Tests the electronic and mechanical performance and disk read performance,
including those on disk buffer, read head, seek time, and integrity of drive sectors. The short
test is performed on a small section of disk platters, and takes about 2 minutes to complete.
S.M.A.R.T.: The long test is more thoroughly and is performed to all drive sectors. The actual
completion time depends on drive sizes and the attributes put to test.
The Check disk functions mentioned above, when performed during active I/Os, can consume
system resources and cause dropped frames with the recording tasks.
Note
Disk verify function requires a volume to be temporarily
disabled; namely, the video recording will be stopped before disk
verify can be performed.
