Check internal storage space
You can check how much internal storage space is available on Pearl-2 using Using the Admin panel and from
the touch screen.Pearl-2 has a 512 GB SSD.
It’s good practice to monitor how much free space is available. If the amount of available storage is low, you
can always remove some of the recorded files, see Manage recorded files and FTP and automatic file transfers.
Disk space can also be checked using Epiphan Live, see Configure Dashboard panels.
To check internal storage space:
1. Login to the Admin panel as admin or operator, see Connect to the Admin panel.
2. View the Internal Storage section at the bottom of the menu panel. The bar will be mostly green if
there is lots of space left, or mostly red if storage space is nearly full.
Schedule disk check
A disk maintenance schedule is used to check the system storage drives for errors. Two values are supplied,
one to specify the number of system restarts that should occur before disk check, and the second to specify
the number of months before performing a disk check. The disk check happens based on whichever event
occurs first.
