Usage Notice
Please pay attention to the following notice when you use the storage system.
To avoid compatibility issues between the storage system and hard drives, we
strongly suggest you use Seagate Barracuda ES series drives. For details on drive
models, see Certification List in GV-Storage System User’s Manual.
Replacing Hard Drives
Don’t turn off the power of the drive bay when replacing the hard dive, otherwise
RAID failure could occur.
Before Power Off
It is better to execute “Shutdown” through LCD panel menu to flush the data from
cache to physical disks before power off.
UDV (User Data Volume) Restriction
Don’t assign the same UDV to more than one DVR host for recording usage;
otherwise you may suffer data lost or corrupt.
Initiator Node Name Restriction
The Initiator node name only accepts lower-case letters. Use lower-case letters for
Host name in the storage system, otherwise you cannot establish the connection
between the storage system and DVR.
Order of Hard Drive Slots
Remember the order of hard drive slots on the storage system. When you see the
warning message “Error: Disk, <slot> is failed”, remove the failed hard drive in the
correct slot. If you remove the hard drive in the wrong slot, you could suffer
data loss.
