Preventing Nx Witness to take over and occupy hard drives
Answered
Goodmorning.
I have NXWitness server running in HP ProLiant server. I have multiple hard drives, some of them are dedicated to NxWitness, and i am happy with that. But NxWitness automatically occupies space, and creates a directory named NX Witness Media in every single drive i add! How can i prevent this? Server is not only for cameras, it has multiple purposes. Hard drives are dedicated for different purposes, NX Witness has its own drives, and should stay there. Yes, i can turn off (not remove) storage in NX Witness, and delete content ot folders... I must do that every time i add a drive. That irritates.

Hi Mindaugas,
The Mediaserver application will create a folder structure on every drive in the system, however, once disabled in the Server Settings menu, it won't use it.
I will request our developers to change this feature, however, I'm not sure if and when it will be honored.

Hello,
I would also like to have the ability to disable the automatic import of drives. Some disabled drives also re-enable after some time when the machine reboot.

Currently, we do not offer an option to block any storage drive, and there are no immediate plans to make changes in the near future.
For optimal performance, we suggest allocating dedicated hardware or a virtual machine for the VMS. This ensures both availability and reliability, preventing any potential interference from other applications
