7-7 Storage Disk Maintenance

When purchasing a new disk set, ensure that the drives in the new set are identical (brand, size, and type).

To change the disk set:

 1. Power down the Networked VGA Grid.

 2. Open the front panel of the system (the panel key may be required).

 3. Remove the old drives, starting with the second drive from the left, moving to the right.

Do no remove the left-most drive. This is the system drive and is not swappable.

 4. Seat the replacement drive set into the drive bays.

 5. Power on the system

 6. Follow the steps below to rebuild the storage disks.

See

Read data from removed storage disks

for information on reading data from the removed drives.

Rebuilding the storage disk set is a destructive process that erases everything from the disks.

Proceed with caution.

To rebuild the storage disks (erasing all data):

 1. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See

Connect to the Admin

Interface

.

 2. Login as admin.

 3. Select the Disk Check link in the Configuration menu; the disk maintenance page opens.

 4. Scroll to the bottom of the page to the Internal Storage section:

 a. If no RAID drives are detected, you do not have a storage RAID, but you can rebuild the current

drive, deleting all saved recordings.

 b. If two or more drives are detected, you are prompted to select a type of RAID array.
