PowerVault (Dell MD1400) Setup Guide
b. Run the following command to verify the new sizes of the databases:
df -hP | grep 'decoder\|concentrator\|archiver\|Filesystem'
The following is an example of the results that are displayed on a Decoder:
F
c. Ensure that there is an entry for each PowerVault and DAC 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.
For Archiver, the packet.dir, meta.dir, and packet.dir are found by default in the
following locations:
10.6.6.1-199.5.47209f4 or later: /archiver/collections/default/database/config
In Archiver, the <n> value is 0B. For example,
/var/netwitness/archiver/database0/alldata/metadb=0B.
