iSCSI storage pool

As of VRM v.3.0, iSCSI storage pools are introduced. A storage pool is a container for one or
more iSCSI storage systems that share the same load balancing properties. The encoders / IP
cameras that are assigned to a storage pool, are recorded with these common load balancing
settings.
A storage pool can be used to have a logical mapping of the network topology to the VRM, for
example if you have two buildings, both containing storage and devices, you want to avoid
routing the network traffic from one building to the other.
Storage pools can also be used to group cameras and storage systems by an important aspect
of view. For example a system contains of some very important cameras and a lot of less
important ones. In this case it is possible to group them into two storage pools, one with a lot
of redundancy features and one with less redundancy.
You can configure the following load balancing properties for a storage pool:

Alarm handling

Alarms can be individually configured to be handled by one or more user groups. When an
alarm occurs, it appears in the Alarm List of all users in the user groups configured to receive
that alarm. When any one of these users starts to work on the alarm, it disappears from the
Alarm List of all other users.
Alarms are displayed on a workstation's alarm monitor and optionally on analog monitors. This
behavior is described in the following paragraphs.

Recording preferences (Automatic or Failover)
Secondary target usage
Secondary target is used in case of Failover mode if the assigned primary target fails. If
this option is turned off, the recording stops on all devices assigned to this failed primary
target.
In case of Automatic mode: if one target fails, VRM Server performs an automatic
reassign of the related devices to other storages. If VRM Server is down while a target
fails, the recording is stopped on the devices currently recording on the failed target.

An alarm occurs in the system.
Alarm notifications appear in the Alarm Lists of all users configured for this alarm. Alarm
video is immediately displayed on configured monitors. If it is an automatically displayed
alarm (auto pop-up), the alarm video is also automatically displayed on the Operator
Client workstation's alarm monitors.
If the alarm is configured as an auto-clear alarm, the alarm is removed from the Alarm List
