Adding Virtual Disk to exacqVision Virtual Appliance.
To dynamically add a virtual disk to the EVA, complete the following steps:
1. Right-click the EVA and click Add. Choose Hard Disk and then click Next.
2. On the Select a Disk screen, click Next to create a new virtual disk.
3. On the Create a Disk screen, specify the new disk size (up to 2TB). Exacq recommends provisioning the drive as Thick
Provision Eager Zeroed.
NOTE: Depending on the size of the new disk, this process could require an extended period of time and might
negatively affect the performance of a host. Thin provisioning is not an ideal choice, as the drive will quickly become
full of recorded data, and performance might lag as the thin-provisioned drive expands. You can choose to keep the
new drive with the virtual machine, or you cay choose any available datastore presented to the host. Note that video
traffic creates a significant load on disk writes, so you will need to monitor your data store to ensure acceptable
performance.
