If more storage space has to be made available to the administration database (MaxDB) because, for example, the event data is to remain available for an extended period, an additional volume can be added to the MaxDB. The default size of the MaxDB is 4 GB.
A maximum of four volumes can be added to the MaxDB.
This extension has no influence on the actual multimedia database (MaxDB).
If a large number of events occurs with resulting high loading times, the MaxDB cache size can be increased.
However, this value should be selected carefully. Enlarging the cache is not useful if the computer does not actually have enough free RAM available.
The current cache size of the RAM reserved for the MaxDB is displayed. The actual size of the MaxDB is shown under “Current capacity utilization of the management database”.
The cache size of the MaxDB is an extremely system-critical parameter that should not be changed unless there are good reasons for it. The throughput is optimal if the complete database is kept in the cache.
