[Linux-based NVRs] What is the rebuild process for VIVOTEK Linux-Based NVRs?

Question

If I replace the defective HDD of RAID 1 or RAID 5 on a VIVOTEK Linux-based NVR, what will be the rebuild process?

Answer

To rebuild the RAID array after replacing a defective HDD on a VIVOTEK Linux-based NVR, follow these steps:

1. Power Off the NVR: Ensure the NVR is completely powered down before proceeding.

2. Replace the Defective HDD: Remove the defective hard drive and replace it with a new one.

3. Power On the NVR: Turn the NVR back on and wait for it to boot up.

4. Initiate the Rebuild Process: Go to Settings > Storage and click "Rebuild" to start the rebuild process.

Note: The rebuild process might take some time, depending on the size of the RAID array and the amount of data. Make sure not to interrupt the process to avoid data loss.
