When you execute RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6 configuration, the system will initialize
the hard drives, create the RAID device, format the RAID device, and mount it as a
volume on the NVR. The progress will be shown on the LCD panel. When it
reaches 100%, you can access the RAID volume, e.g. create share folders and
upload files to the folders on the NVR. In the meantime, to make sure the stripes
and blocks in all the RAID component devices are ready, the NVR will execute RAID
synchronization and the progress will be shown on “Disk Management” > “Volume
Management” page. The synchronization rate is around 30-60 MB/s (vary by hard
drive models, system resource usage, etc.).
Note: If a member drive of the RAID configuration was lost during the
synchronization, the RAID device will enter degraded mode. The volume data is
still accessible. If you add a new member drive to the device, it will start to rebuild.
You can check the status on the “Volume Management” page.
When the configuration is finished, the server name and IP address will be shown.
If the NVR fails to create the disk volume, the following message will be shown.
