the screen below appears. If the device was able to identify its tape drive, then the next
wizard window appears.
Directions
Select How much memory should be used for each
data stream cache. This setting defines how much
virtual memory is set aside for incoming and outgoing
data during file storage and retrieval. A larger cache
may improve performance but will do so at the expense
of using more virtual memory. The total amount of
space used equals the number of tapes in the library
multiplied by the selected cache size. So, if you select
10 data streams and 10 MB of cache, the Vault will set
aside 100 MB of total virtual memory for caching data.
A selection of 10 MB is usually sufficient.
This setting enables you to define where the working
cache will be located. The default location is '<install-dir>/
WorkingCache'.
When Buffalo Surveillance Server is processing files, it
sometimes creates temporary files. These enable Buffalo
Surveillance Server to work more quickly and efficiently
and are especially important when you are clipping video
files. Temporary files are kept in the "working cache."
If you do not want to use the location chosen by Buffalo
Surveillance Server, you can chose an alternate location
by clicking [ < Browse ].
This setting can be changed with
Vault Properties > Devices
This setting defines how much working cache space
Buffalo Surveillance Server will be permitted to use for
temporary files.
The working cache should be large enough to hold
multiple large video files. The default size is 100 GB.
