Monitor Storage Locations
- Note: For more information, see the Knowledge Base article: "How DS-System retries connections to its Database and to its Online Storage".
Windows DS-Systems can automatically detect if any Extensible Storage Location cannot be accessed.
Linux DS-Systems cannot automatically detect if a file system is mounted. Instead, you can configure the DS-System to monitor the mount-points of the Storage Locations (it performs the check every 5 minutes):
To monitor a Linux DS-System:
1. Setup Menu > Storage > Mount-point Monitor. The Mount-Point Monitoring screen appears.
- F1 Help: See "Mount-Point Monitoring".
2. Check beside each mount-point you want to monitor.
- You should monitor all mount-points used as Storage Locations. (The first mount-point listed is the root of the DS-System's machine.)
For both Windows and Linux DS-Systems:
- When monitoring Extensible Storage Locations, if DS-System detects a storage problem, it will stop all current activities and interrupt all connections to the DS-System Storage.
- For the first inaccessible Mount-Point detected, one notification E-Mail will be sent to the E-Mail address(es) configured in the Administrator Notification settings (Setup Menu > Configuration > Notification).
- DS-System will remain in this frozen state, and will check if the Storage Locations are accessible every 2 minutes.
- When all Storage Locations are accessible, DS-System will automatically revert to its normal state and will accept incoming connections.
