PowerVault (Dell MD1400) Setup Guide
c. Make sure that there is an entry for each PowerVault added. An individual packetdb#,
metadb#, and sessiondb# is created for each PowerVault, where # is the number
associated with the PowerVault in the order it was added. For the first PowerVault that
you add, # is blank and does not have a number appended. The second PowerVault that
you add is appended with 0. For example, the first PowerVault entries are metadb,
sessiondb, and packetdb. The second PowerVault entries are metadb0,
sessiondb0, and packetdb0.
Verify that the size listed for /var/netwitness/decoder/packetdb# is what you
would expect with the extended storage arrays attached. Write this value down so that
you can verify it in the user interface.
d. Log in to RSA NetWitness Platform and go to Administration > Services or ADMIN >
Services.
The Administration Services view is displayed.
e.
Select the appropriate service and then select > View > Explore.
f. Expand the database folder and select the config folder.
g. Look at packet.dir, meta.dir,and session.dir as applicable to your service. Compare the
output of the df - hP command to the database/config values shown in NetWitness
Platform. Make sure that there is an entry for each PowerVault added and the size of the
db for each service is as follows:
/var/netwitness/decoder/packetdb#=<n>
where <n> is similar to the size of the new storage.
Task 3 - Restart the Service
You must restart the Archiver, Concentrator, or (Network) Decoder service so that the service
can recognize the new volumes.
Note: If this host has a (Network) Decoder service which is currently capturing, it is a best
practice to stop capture before restarting these services (to ensure database writes are
completed). If this host has a Concentrator or Archiver service which is aggregating, it is
recommended to stop aggregation before restarting these services (to allow the indexes in
memory to be saved to disk).
1. To restart the service, run the following commands using the appropriate service name for
your service.
For RSA NetWitness Platform 11.2.0.0-1808301802.5.941817f and later:
service <nwdecoder, nwarchiver, nwconcentrator stop (Wait until this
completes.)
