New NwArrayconfig script for Series 5 Packet Hybrid + DAC in RSA Security Analytics

Issue

Quoting from SACE-5467:

Pertains to the new Series 5 Packet Hybrid devices only.

nwarrayconfig allocates, by default, 3 disks from an external array for a RAID 5 to contain Concentrator Sessiondb and Metadb data, and 11 disks for Decoder Packetdb data.

The new larger internal storage for the Packet hybrid has plenty space to handle the Index/Sessiondb/Metadb for the Packet Hybrid even if the entire external DAC was configured for 14 disks all for Decoder Packetdb storage.

Resolution

CE team have re-worked the NwArrayconfig script and a new option for Series 5 Hybrid to set -d option to zero for concentrator drive count is now available.

Example of command: ./NwArrayconfig.py -d 0

The script can currently be found at:
