Special procedure for NVRs & DVRs with RAID:
Use the tool attached at the bottom of this KB when RAID logs are required (NVRs & DVRs using RAID).
The tool will collect extended information about the RAID and it's current operational status.
The option under the web console menu is not a replacement for this tool as it will not provide us with all of the information we need for an adequate review of the systems health.
Units with 24 drive bays will also have dual OS drives, these drives are configured as RAID-1 and are managed by a separate controller. The log tool above will not collect any information from this controller, however, any events from this controller can be found in the Windows application log. The event source will be MRMONITOR. This is the management service attached to the RAID driver. This should show everything that has happened while the system is operational. Each event will be tagged with a controller ID (e.g. controller #0) which corresponds to the embedded SATA controller. For further info please review this knowledge base Click here to download the RAID log toolInstructions:
- Unzip the tool on the system and run lsigetwin.bat as (run as Administrator)
- Add the output file to the log folder you created earlier (e.g. FileWithLongName.7z)
