PowerVault (Dell MD1400) Setup Guide
Caution: After configuring the PowerVault the first time for a service, there is a possibility of
background RAID initialization running for at least 24 hours. During this initialization, disk
I/O performance may be affected.
Note: You must use a PowerVault with Self Encrypted Drives (SED).
1. Log in as root and verify that the rsa-sa-tools package is installed by running the following
command:
rpm -qa | grep rsa sa-tools
Results example:
rsa-sa-tools-11.2.0.0-1808301802.5.941817f.noarch
If the package is not installed, contact RSA Customer Support to obtain a copy of the RPM
and install it.
2. Change the directory to the rsa-sa-tools RPM base directory:
cd /opt/rsa/saTools
3. Execute the following command:
./nwraidutil.pl
4. Important: Check the results and resolve ALL conditions before running the script.
The following example illustrates how the results from the ./nwraidutil.pl command
should appear if there are no conditions.
