When you execute RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6 configuration, the system will initialize
the hard drives, create the RAID configuration, format the RAID configuration, 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 the RAID configuration are ready, the NVR will execute RAID
synchronization and the progress will be shown on the ‘Disk Management’ >
‘Volume Management’ page. The synchronization rate is around 30-60 MB/s
(varied by hard disk drive models, system resource usage, etc.).
Note: If a member drive of the RAID configuration was lost during the
synchronization, the RAID volume will enter degraded mode. The volume data is
still accessible. If you add a new member drive to the volume, the volume will start
to rebuild. You can check the status on the ‘Volume Management’ page.
When the configuration has finished, the server name and the IP address will be
shown. If the NVR fails to create the disk volume, the following message will be
shown.
