An engineer is configuring the Media Server service on a Cisco Video Surveillance server. Which option is the maximum default amount a disk can be full before it is no longer able to store video data?

The correct answer is D. 98%. The Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server stops writing video data when a disk reaches 98% capacity by default. This threshold protects the operating system from running out of space entirely.

Why each option

The Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server stops writing video data when a disk reaches 98% capacity by default. This threshold protects the operating system from running out of space entirely.

A75%

75% is well below the default threshold and would cause premature disk rotation, wasting significant storage capacity that the system is designed to use.

B80%

80% is also below the default threshold and is not the correct default value for the Cisco VSM Media Server disk-full limit.

C95%

95% is closer but is not the correct default value; the actual default is 98%, allowing the system to use nearly all available disk space before stopping storage.

D98%Correct

The Cisco Video Surveillance Manager (VSM) Media Server is configured by default to treat a disk as full and stop recording to it once it reaches 98% utilization. This default threshold leaves a small buffer to prevent the file system from becoming completely full, which could cause system instability or data corruption. Administrators can adjust this threshold, but 98% is the default maximum before the server stops storing video data to that disk.
