XT2 Series DISK RECORDER – Version 10.05 - Software Technical Reference
EVS Broadcast Equipment SA – Jluly 2011
When a disk is disconnected, it is orange and the RAID status section displays the
percentage rebuilt at the position of the RAID number. When a disk is
disconnected but new media is still being recorded on the disk array, this number
will decrease until the disk is replaced and the rebuild process starts. The rebuild
is complete when this number reaches 100%.
REBUILD PROCESS
The XT2+ server is capable of performing a rebuild process of the RAID. This
process can happen either while the Multicam application is not running (offline
process – rebuild is faster) or while the Multicam application is running (online
process – rebuild is slower).
Disconnection process
As explained in the previous section, the software will disconnect a disk that does
not behave as expected.
Two options are available for the operator:
• Replace the disconnected disk and restart the server
o Start the Multicam application. The rebuild process will start automatically.
o Start a hardware check from the EVS menu and launch the rebuild. The
process starts offline. The operator can wait for the rebuild to be
completed or cancel it (that is to say postpone it) and start the Multicam
application, in which case the rebuild carries on in online mode.
• The operator can also force the disk to be reconnected by starting the rebuild
process in the hardware check. The process starts offline. The operator can
wait for the rebuild to be completed or cancel it and start the Multicam
application, in which case the rebuild carries on in online mode.
Note:
If errors are detected during the rebuild process, a message appears
after the rebuild is complete to warn the operator, and the raid is not
considered as properly rebuilt. In this state, the system will keep working
on 4 disks (4+1 configuration) or on 5 disks (5+1 configuration). If you
want to run on 5, or 6, disks again, you can try replacing the disk again
and perform another rebuild, or clear all clips.
If you don’t need to retrieve the clips or the record trains, you don’t need to
rebuild the RAID. In this case, select the “Clear All Clips” answer when the
message with this option appears in the Hardware Check.
If you don’t rebuild the RAID array or if you don’t clear clips, the XT2+ will keep
running on 4, or 5, disks only, and you will see a warning message appearing
every time you start or close the Multicam application. Normal operation can be
achieved on 4, or 5, disks, but then, if another disk fails, the system will hang and
all video and audio data will be definitely lost.
