Storage disk maintenance
Your Standalone VGA Grid is equipped with one or more hard drives for storage of recordings. Occasionally,
maintenance is required for these disks. This section describes procedures for the following topics:
l Check disk storage space
l Schedule disk check
l Perform disk check
l Rebuild or replace storage disks
l Verify RAID storage
l Read data from removed storage disks
Check disk storage space
Standalone VGA Grid has a finite amount of storage . By default, the standalone and networked version have
3 TB of storage. This storage space holds a lot of recordings, but it can get full. It’s a good idea to monitor your
current disk usage.
If available storage is low, consider removing some unneeded recordings or setting up an automatic file
transfer with deletion after transfer. See Recorded files and File and recording transfer.
Disk space can also be checked via the Epiphan Live control interface. See Configuring
Dashboard panels for visual confidence monitoring for more information.
To check disk storage space:
1. Login to the Admin panel as admin or operator. See Connect to the Admin panel.
2. Check the Internal Storage section at the bottom of the menu column. The bar will be mostly green if
there is lots of space left, or mostly red if storage space is nearly full.
