o the available disk space goes below 225 MB plus 30 MB per camera (example: with ten
cameras, the server would be running out of disk space if the remaining available disk
space went below 525 MB (225 MB plus 30 MB for each of the ten cameras))
The difference ensures that very large disks are not necessarily considered to be running out
of disk space just because they have less than 15% disk space left.
2. If moving archives is not possible, your system attempts to delete the oldest archives. This
happens if:
o there is less than 10% disk space left, and the available disk space goes below 30 GB plus
1.5 GB per camera
- or -
o the available disk space goes below 150 MB plus 20 MB per camera (example: with ten
cameras, the server would be running out of disk space if the remaining available disk
space went below 350 MB (150 MB plus 20 MB for each of the ten cameras))
The difference ensures that very large disks not necessarily are considered to be running out
of disk space just because they have less than 10% disk space left.
IMPORTANT: You lose data from the archives you delete.
3. Ultimately, if there are no archives to delete, your system attempts to resize camera databases
by deleting their oldest recordings. This happens if:
o there is less than 5% disk space left, and the available disk space goes below 20 GB plus
1 GB per camera
- or -
o the available disk space goes below 75 MB plus 10 MB per camera (example: with ten
cameras, the server would be running out of disk space if the remaining available disk
space went below 175 MB (75 MB plus 10 MB for each of the ten cameras))
The difference ensures that very large disks will not necessarily be considered to be running
out of disk space just because they have less than 5% disk space left.
IMPORTANT: You lose the data deleted as part of the database resizing process.
When the recording server is restarted upon such database resizing, the original database
sizes will be used. You should therefore make sure the drive size problem is solved, or adjust
camera database sizes to reflect the altered drive size.
4. First, your system attempts to delete archives. This happens if:
o there is less than 15% disk space left, and the available disk space goes below 40 GB plus
2 GB per camera
- or -
o the available disk space goes below 150 MB plus 20 MB per camera
The difference ensures that very large disks will not necessarily be considered to be running
out of disk space just because they have less than 10% disk space left.
IMPORTANT: You will lose data from the archives being deleted.
