Before You Install
Step 2 Verify that the volume is using the correct partition type:
linux:~ | # parted | /dev/sdb print |
|
| |||
Disk | geometry for /dev/sdb: 0kB - 10TB |
| |||||
Disk | label type: gpt |
|
|
|
| ||
Number | Start | End | Size | File | system Name | Flags | |
Information: Do not | forget to update | /etc/fstab, if necessary. | |||||
|
|
|
|

Make sure that the disk label type is set to GPT. After creating the GPT partition table, use the standard following methods for partitioning and formatting the partitions.
Creating Partitions
Creating partitions in SLES9-SP3 & SLES10-SP1
Use the SUSE YaST to partition, format, and configure repositories. If any of the volumes are greater than 2TiB you must first follow the steps above to create a GPT partition table on each volume. Cisco recommends using the XFS file system for optimal video recording performance.
Procedure
Step 1 Open the YaST Control Center.\
Step 2 Navigate to System, Partitioner.
Step 3 Enter Yes to create new partitions as required for video storage. The creation process may take some time.
Step 4 Choose Create and set the FileSystem = XFS and MountPoint = /media#. Step 5 Choose Apply, Finish, Quit, and Quit.
Step 6 Change ownership of the mounted partitions to nobody.nobody.
shell> chown nobody.nobody /media1
