Introduction

The Announcement Board Storage Summary report displays the result of a number of commands, including some run at file system level on the VAL board itself.

The results of those commands are processed to show the true storage situation across multiple boards.

The files stored are reconciled against the configuration to identify announcement files that will never be addressed and are therefore redundant.

Uses

• Identify available storage on a board by board basis.
• Highlight space taken up by redundant files.
• View potential issues with Audio Group configuration.
• Ensure all announcement hardware is being utilised.

Example

The following report shows that there are redundant files taking up space on all boards. All boards still have spare storage capacity.

Redundant files are files on the boards that are not configured to an Announcement extension and are therefore not being used. 

It is not immediately required, but in future, the customer can remove the need to purchase additional hardware by deleting the redundant files.
