PowerVault (Dell MD1400) Setup Guide
Restart the Service
You must restart the Decoder, Log Decoder, or Archiver service so that the service can
recognize the new volumes.
Note: If the host has a Log Decoder or (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 the host has an 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 versions 10.6.6.1-199.5.47209f4 or later:
stop <nwdecoder, nwarchiver, nwconcentrator, nwlogdecoder> (Wait until
this completes.)
start <nwdecoder, nwarchiver, nwconcentrator, nwlogdecoder>
For RSA NetWitness Platform 11.2.0.0-1808301802.5.941817f and later:
service <nwdecoder, nwarchiver, nwconcentrator, nwlogdecoder> stop
(Wait until this completes.)
service <nwdecoder, nwarchiver, nwconcentrator, nwlogdecoder> start
2.
Make sure that the service comes back online and begins capture.
a. In the NetWitness Platform Services view (Administration > Services or ADMIN >
Services), verify that the service status is green.
b.
Select the service and then select > View > System.
c. If you see the Start Capture or Start Aggregation icon in the toolbar, click the icon to
start it.
