One-touch RAID Configuration
Purpose:
For the DS-9500NI-RT series NVR, the disk array must be configured if you want to save recoring and log files
locally. Through one-touch configuration, you can quickly create the disk array. By default, the array type to be
created is RAID 5.
Before you start:
Install the iVMS-4200 client software, the disk array can only be configured through the client. As the default
array type is RAID 5, at least 3 HDDs must be installed in you device.
Steps:
1. Enter the HDD Management interface.
Device Management> Remote Config> Storage > Array
You can see information of physical disks.
2. Click One-touch Config to enter the One-touch Array Configuration interface.
3. Edit the array name in the Array text filed and click Apply button to start configuring array.
If you install 4 HDDs or above for one-touch configuration, a hot spare disk will be set by default. It is
recommended to set hot spare disk for automatically rebuilding the array when the array is abnormal.
There will be note if the operation is completed.
4. You can click Array tab to view the information of the successfully created array.
By default, one-key configuration creates an array and a virtual disk.
5. Click Virtual Disk tab to view the automatically created virtual disk.
