WARNING: Physical disk problems have been found.
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.
b. 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: 1
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, enter one of the following commands.
For RSA NetWitness Platform versions 10.6.6.0 or later, run the following command:
