If a drive is in a foreign state, it shows F in the State column. If a drive is in a bad state, it
shows B in the State column. A PowerVault that has never been used before should show
U for unconfigured.
a. Ensure that the number of drives listed in the results equals 12.
The following example lines from the results show the correct number of drives:
Adapter 1 (PERCH810 Adapter) enclosures found: 2
Adapter 1 (PERCH810 Adapter) enclosure 160 slots found: 12
The following example lines from the results show that there is a bad drive:
Adapter 1 (PERCH810 Adapter) enclosures found: 1
Adapter 1 (PERCH810 Adapter) enclosure 121 slots found: 11
WARNING: Physical disk problems have been found.
It is also important that all drives appear numerically in the nwraidutil output. It is
possible that a bad drive may not show up at all in the output. You will see a jump in the
Slot count. For example, if the enclosure has 12 drives, but you only see slots 0 - 11, it
means that slot 12 is bad and cannot be seen by the RAID controller. Contact RSA
Customer Support before running the script because an RMA may be necessary.
5. To run the NwArrayConfig.py script using the default parameters, use one of the following
commands.
For RSA NetWitness Platform versions 10.6.6.0 or later, run the following command:
./NwArrayConfig.py
For RSA NetWitness Platform 11.1.0.2 and later, run the following command:
OWB_ALLOW_NON_FIPS=1 ./NwArrayConfig.py
Caution: When configuring RSA-provided hardware (in this case, PowerVault) , do not
use any of the NwArrayConfig options (displayed with the -h argument) because they
could cause the setup to fail.
[root@P<hostname> saTools]#
This script discovers all available PowerVaults; creates all the necessary virtual drives,
logical volumes, and the directory structure; and writes the debug messages to
/opt/rsa/saTools/arrayCfg.log. On Log Decoder and (Network) Decoder physical hosts, this
script adds the database types of packetdb, metadb, and sessiondb. On Concentrator physical
hosts, this script adds the data.Nwbase types of metadb and sessiondb.
The following is an example of the output.
