3xLOGIC VIGIL Server - Manual (Page 141)

20.1 Drive Management Tab
In the Drive Management tab, three types of media drives can be set up: Video Storage Drives, Alternate Video Storage Drives and
Audio Storage Drives. VIGIL Server must be shut down to make changes on this Tab.
Video Storage Drives – Video Storage
Drives are the main drives where video
footage is stored. If all of the Video Stor-
age Drives are offline, the Alternate
Video Storage Drives will be used until
the Video Storage Drives return online.
Alternate Video Storage Drives – Alter-
nate Video Storage Drives are emer-
gency backup drives that are used only
if all of the Video Storage Drives are off-
line. If an Alternate Video Drive is being
used, the VIGIL Server will beep and a
warning message will be displayed.
When the Video Storage Drives return
online, a warning message will dis-
appear, the audio alarm will stop beep-
ing, and the VIGIL Server will switch
back to recording to the main Video Stor-
age Drives.
Audio Storage Drives – Audio Storage
Drives are the drives where audio data is
stored.
