If you don’t need to retrieve the clips or the record trains, you don’t need to rebuild the
RAID. In this case, select the 'Clear All Clips' answer when the message with this option
appears in the hardware check.

If you don’t rebuild the RAID array or if you don’t clear clips, the EVS server will keep
running on 4, or 5, disks only, and you will see a warning message appearing every time
you start or close the Multicam application. Normal operation can be achieved on 4, or 5,
disks, but then, if another disk fails, the system will hang and all video and audio data will
be definitively lost.

Warning

By default, the online rebuild process takes up 10% of the disk bandwidth. If you
want to change this, contact EVS support.

Clearing Video Disks

Introduction

This function is used to delete all media from the RAID disk array. This will permanently
delete all video and audio data, including protected clip and record trains.

Procedure

To clear video disks, proceed as follows:

1. In the Multicam Setup window, press C to call the Clear Video Disks command.

2. Press RIGHT ARROW, and ENTER to select Yes and validate the deletion

OR

Press ENTER to cancel the deletion.

Note

After a Clear Video Disks action, the command toggles to Undo Clear Video
Disks At Next Start
as long as your server has not been rebooted after the
Clear Video Disks command. This allows you to restore the deleted media.

Exporting Log Files

When the EVS support team requests the log files to investigate an issue, you can export
the log files to a plugged-in USB key by pressing the X shortcut key from the Multicam
Setup window.

When you call the Export log file command, a .zip file is created on the root folder the
USB key. It contains:

all files and folders located on C:\LSMCE\DATA folder of the EVS server

an Excel spreadsheet that contains the definition of your configuration lines
