LordX 0 Posted June 28, 2015 Hey all - I thought I followed the user manual correctly in setting up my mirrored drive. I have the 2nd hdd in the same group as the 1st hdd.. I went to storage manager and set the 2nd drive as MIRRORED HDD. I just checked the storage again today and I see: 1st - 480GB/1.81TB 2nd - 1.81TB/1.81TB What simple step did I miss to make the mirroring happen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeyJoey 0 Posted June 29, 2015 There is an option for each camera to set too. Did you find that option? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordX 0 Posted June 30, 2015 No I did not set that... which menu is it located under? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordX 0 Posted June 30, 2015 I went to options - storage - then SCHEDULE - and then selected ALL for cameras, and put a check mark by MIRROR, hit APPLY, then OK. We will see! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeyJoey 0 Posted July 1, 2015 yep, that is it. A weird way to have this setting in their NVR, I think. Report back if it works ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordX 0 Posted July 1, 2015 I completely agree... not very intuitive. Setting the 2nd HDD as mirror should start an immediate mirror of all cameras. THEN - if you want to specify individual cameras as NOT being mirrored, then that is an advanced option where you would go to 'schedule'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordX 0 Posted July 1, 2015 I finally see space being used on the 2nd drive! Thanks for the pointers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeyJoey 0 Posted July 1, 2015 Good stuff. In the newer firmware of this model with the HIkvision firmware it is different yet again. A true test would be for you to power down the NVR, disconnect power, unplug the first HD's SATA cable, then power up with just the 2nd HD connected, verify the system boots up ok and continues to work. Then reconnect everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
