About storage profiles

Last Updated: 1 minute read

Storage profiles are created and maintained on the Recording server page.

A storage profile consists of a recording storage and may contain one or more archive storages.

A recording server must contain at least one defined storage profile. You can create multiple storage profiles per recording server. If you have multiple storage profiles for a recording server, only one can be designated as the default. If you have only one storage profile, that profile automatically becomes the default profile.

By default, the recording server continues running even when the recording storage becomes unavailable. If you have configured failover recording servers, you can specify the recording server to stop running and trigger a failover. To enable this option, select Switch to a failover recording server if the recording storage is unavailable.
