I'm sure this is probably covered in some obscure note in the VSOM Guide somewhere, but it's likely not too prominent. It's by design! Super awesome, eh? So yeah, what you are seeing is how Cisco has arranged the licensing. Apparently, you can use the 'free' licenses up to the limit of 10... unless you want to exceed that with 3rd Party HW, at which point, you need to license *ALL* 3rd Party and anything that was previously free goes away :-/

Are you following the VSOM reference documentation regarding how to add a new Onvif camera model? If so, it's possible that the camera isn't speaking quite the same Onvif "standard" that VSM is... which I always seem to run into as well.

I'm not 100% sure on that, and I base it only on some of my own observations. We had several 'Camera Objects' that were significantly FUBAR and attempting to delete them via the regular methods (including Bulk Actions) simply would not succeed. I was resigned to the idea that I'd have to probably muck around in the DB backend to get them cleaned up, but then located the 'Troubleshoot' section (which was/is relatively new to me), and decided to give it a try first. Sure enough, it was able to clear up the entries where other attempts could not.

Okay... so, we've moved to trying to feed these via a simple WWW server and mounting that way. I'm doing some test runs and I'm running into either a latency, bandwidth, or timeout issue when attempting to boot the DVD ISO over a WAN link (about 10Mbps). It gets the HUU nearly fully loaded and then the server is being restarted and it tries again? Is there some way to prevent this or modify any relevant timeouts? These sites are remote and we really need to somehow be able to do this in an automated fashion.

Made it a bit further. Now the scripts seem to fail mounting the HUU iso, despite us being able to mount it manually via the Web GUI. The following is noted in the CIMC log from the kernel: <3>CIFS VFS: bad security option: "0

Hi there, I'm assuming you are referring to connecting directly to the WebUI of the camera itself and not to a supporting Cisco VSM server?
I don't believe you can manually replace the device certificate from the UI. I'm not sure it's possible from the underlying OS either. :-(
Another possibility might be to grab the certificate and push it to the trusted stores of your domain workstations? :-S

Sorry, I just re-read your post and missed the fact that you wanted to keep /media6.
In that case, I'd make sure media repos 1-5 are *de-selected* in the VSMS configuration, then comment out those specific mounts and reboot to test and ensure you still have /media6 available and functional.
If you can successfully get to this point, the final challenge will be identifying which block devices attached at the VM host level represented those hard disks (SDC-G). I'm not 100% sure on how to do that myself (in a VMWare env.).
I'm assuming you *might* be able to look at the actual consumed storage on the host datastore (depending on how the disks were provisioned). It appears only the disk representing /DEV/SDB has any considerable usage. That might be a way to narrow it down?
Cheers!

Well... Is this server also running VSMS? If not, this is strictly an OS administration thing as far as I'm aware.
If it's still running VSMS my approach would be to unselect all the media repos under the advanced settings for the VSMS role and then remove the VSMS role completely first.
If VSMS is no longer part of the server in any way, I'd simply comment out the mounts in /etc/ fstab and reboot the server. Assuming this is a VM (which it hints at being), the step after that would be removing those additional block devices (hard disks) that provided SDC-G.

Another thing to *also* keep in mind; that even if these are VM images running in a virtualized environment, they are also likely running on an unsupported Operating System (RHEL 5).
VSM 7.9 has moved to RHEL6 and requires it for an OS.
If *this* is your situation, you may need to do a few steps here :-S
Upgrade existing deployment to 7.8 on RHEL 5.8 (read and follow upgrade guides)
Take configuration backups for all VSM servers at VSM 7.8.
Deploy NEW VSM 7.8 OVAs (with the underlying RHEL 6 OS)
Restore your configuration backups to these new server VMs (this might get tricky depending on how your actual MEDIA repo disks are set up... and will require some manual work to 'migrate' these disks containing archive video to the new servers)
Upgrade these new VSM 7.8 VMs to VSM 7.9 as per guides.
Again, this is how I would approach. If you have Cisco TAC support available, I'd absolutely leverage that.
Cheers!

You'll need to dig and research further. I'd take a look in the / vsms folder, which seems excessively large.
If the data and log files for VSMS are responsible for taking that much space, you'll need to engage Cisco TAC as I can't really speculate on why a VSMS database would end up such a size. Perhaps there are event history retention settings which could be tightened to deflate it some (if there's nothing technically wrong with its operation)... but I'm not 100%.

Something is clearly chewing up a large chunk of disk capacity in this filesystem. If you can get to the CLI, you should be able to manually hunt down what's occupying it.
There may be a more elegant way, but I usually run something like;
du -BM --max-depth=1
within a starting directory to find out in which subdirectory is the majority of the data. If a process has somehow begun failing, there is usually a largely disproportionate amount of space being chewed up in an isolated location, and this can at least give you an idea as to what else may be happening.
