Media Storage Location

TANDBERG CONTENT SERVER ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE

About Media Storage Location

The default location for your media files is drive E: on your TANDBERG Content Server. You may change this location to store files on a Network Attached Storage (NAS) by using the TCS NAS Wizard.

The NAS Wizard gives you the ability to store your media in an external location, which means that your recording capacity will not be limited by the disk storage on the Content Server.

Your media will be recorded to a temporary directory on the Content Server first, and then automatically moved to the NAS. Your conferences will be streamed from the NAS using the Content Server’s streaming media server or another external streaming media server that you specify.

We recommend NAS devices which are built on the Windows Storage server and are Windows Hardware Quality Lab certified. The file sharing protocol used by the Content Server to the NAS is Microsoft SMB.

!

For best performance, we recommend that the NAS you

use for storing Content Server media files is a device

 

 

dedicated to media storage.

Running applications such as domain controllers, databases or external streaming servers on the NAS used for Content Server media file storage may result in errors and is not recommended.

Changing the Media Storage Location - prerequisites

Before you start, make sure that:

You have a current backup of your Content Server.

The Content Server is added to same domain as the NAS (see the section on Authentication for details on adding the Content Server to a domain).

Choose or create and account in the domain that IIS on the Content Server will use to access the share on the NAS. This domain account needs to have both administrative rights on the Content Server and permissions over the NAS share. This domain account may be called anything you want, but in this document we will refer to it as MYDOMAIN\TCSNASUSER.

You have enough time to complete the operation. The NAS Wizard will move all valid media files (which are referenced by your database) from the local drive to the external storage location. This may take some time, depending on how much existing media you have recorded on E drive. Any orphaned files in E:\data folder (media files which are not associated with conferences) will be deleted.

Steps Required for Changing the Media Storage Location

To change the media storage location from the default E drive on the Content Server to the NAS:

1.Configure your NAS

2.Run the NAS Wizard from Remote Desktop on the Content Server

To change the media storage location back from the NAS to the default E drive location (or to another NAS):

3.Run the NAS Wizard from Remote Desktop on the Content Server
