DCE Storage Problem

[DCIM_Support]

Hi,

My customer has a DCE platform and has several cameras. He was able to have 120 days of camera records but now it is down to 70 days despite there is no change in the existing environment. The storage size on DCE shows 190 GB but the virtual machine actually has 600 GB of storage. The relevant screenshots are below. Can you please let me know how to resolve this issue? Why cant he use the 600 GB of storage space?

Thanks

Looks like they need to click on "Add Repository" in the second picture and choose the larger hard drive (600GB)

Hi Kaan,

Was the 2nd virtual disk added as a smaller disk and then increased in size? Once added, the size should not be altered. Instead, if they need more room, they need to add another drive instead of increasing the current drive's  size.

Is disk 1 still set to 18gig? That one should not be altered either. Is that 600 gig actually available? Have any backups / restores been done on this system? Anything that could cause it to see something as an older configuration?

Assuming the server had been shut down when the drive was added. Once the system is up and running after adding a drive,  it should see both the initial drive of 4 gig (left over from the initial 18) as well as the other virtual drives added.
