Installing the VideoEdge NVR

14 VideoEdge NVR 4.4 Installation and User Manual

3 The swap partition (swap). This is the location of the operating system swap area.

Note

On the first media storage drive of the NVR you must create two media partitions. The first partition

created on this drive must be 100GB with the mount point

/var/opt/americandynamics/venvr/clipexport. The second partition must be the remainder of

the media storage drive. You can enter a mount point name as required, for example,

/data/media1. It is recommended that the remaining media drives on the NVR are configured with

1 partition and formatted in the XFS file system type with a mount point name as required, for

example /data/media2.

For American Dynamics NVR Hardware and Software Bundles

If this is the first time the VideoEdge software has been installed on the system, the default system

partitions will already be configured. The system partitions are needed for regular operation of the

operating system and NVR application. The default system partitions defined are in Table 3-1

below. Each partition size in the table is the r

equired value.

For VideoEdge Software ONLY Installations

If it is the first time the VideoEdge software has been installed in the system, partitions may need

to be deleted and recreated, refer to Configuring System Pa

rtitions on a Previously Configured

Device on page 330 and continue to Procedure 3-7 Configuring Media

Partitions on the First

Media Drive on the NVR.

Note

When the Linux system starts, it scans the hardware for all system devices. When it finds disks

and partitions it assigns them unique names. Linux does not follow DOS or Windows XP style

partition or drive naming convention. SUSE Linux uses a combination of bus type and

alphanumeric suffixes.



The next part of the naming convention is an alphabet

ic designation for each physical drive, as an

example the primary drive of a system using SCSI drives would be sda. The secondary physical

SCSI drive naming prefix would be sdb. Tertiary physical drive would be sdc and so on.



As mentioned above the next part of the naming convention is a numerical suffix that denotes the

artition. Each hard drive has a limit of 4 primary partitions. For example the primary SCSI drive of

a system with four partitions would be named as follows: sda1, sda2, sda3 and sda4. As an

example of the naming convention for the secondary drive it would be as follows: sdb1, sdb2, etc



One primary partition per drive can be assigned

as an extended partition containing as many

logical partitions as you require.
