The PowerVault installation script instructions in this guide apply only to NetWitness Platform

information in this guide, but refer to Storage Guide for RSA NetWitness Platform Version 11.3
and later for instructions on how to allocate storage for your hardware.
Caution: If you are adding a previously used PowerVault and would like to preserve the data,
DO NOT follow the instructions in this guide. Contact RSA Customer Support. Running the
script on a previously used PowerVault could erase any existing data.
