Large Database Support; Configuring Large Database Support - American Dynamics Intellex Intellex DVMS Installation And Configuration Manual

Large Database Support

Large database support (greater than 4 terabytes) is available, but it has to be configured.
If your Intellex configuration requires more than 4 terabytes of storage, you need to perform the
following procedure on an Intellex unit running software version 4.0 SP1 (4.03) or greater.
DO NOT perform this procedure if large database support has previously been configured as you
will unnecessarily lose all saved data. If you are unsure whether or not large database support has
been configured, contact American Dynamics Technical Support.
IMPORTANT:
• Performing this procedure will result in the loss of all video data.
• Archive Manager version 1.2 or earlier will not work after large database support is
configured.
• All RAID Storage System storage volumes must be configured and connected to the Intellex
unit before configuring large database support.

Configuring Large Database Support

1 Exit your Intellex unit to the Windows desktop and navigate to c:\windows\intellex\registry in
Windows Explorer.
2 Double-click on LargeVolumeSupport.reg.
3 Click YES in the confirmation dialog. Close Windows Explorer.
4 From your Windows desktop, double-click on the DriveConfig icon.
5 Click OK in the warning dialog. The DriveConfig utility will then run.
6 Verify that DriveConfig correctly found all of the attached drives. Click OK to accept the drives.
7 When DriveConfig is complete, restart your Intellex unit. The Intellex database can now exceed
4 terabytes of storage.
Note
Activating large database support increases the file size from 20 MB to 100 MB. This reduces the
number of files necessary to achieve a 10 TB database and reduces the size of index files
accordingly. This manages system resource requirements within its capabilities.
For more information on configuring your RAID Storage System, refer to the RAID Storage System
Installation and Application Guide (8200-0650-01 AO).
