| Resolution | In order to create a WARM tier on an RSA Security Analytics Archiver appliance, follow the steps below.
- Create an NFS mount on the NAS, e.g: /mnt/Archiver.
- Verify that the NFS mount is reachable from the Archiver. In the example below, 10.44.10.68 is the IP address of the NAS.
[root@saarchiver archiver]# showmount -e 10.44.10.68
Export list for 10.44.10.68:
/mnt/Archiver (everyone)
- Create a directory on the Archiver to mount the NFS.
mkdir /var/netwitness/archiver/nas
- Add the NFS mount to /etc/fstab.
10.44.10.68:/mnt/Archiver /var/netwitness/archiver/nas nfs rw,nolock,tcp,auto,addr=10.44.10.68 0 0
- Issue the command mount -a to apply the change.
- Verify the change with the df -h command, which should show output similar to the example below.
10.44.10.68:/mnt/Archiver
96G 223M 96G 1% /var/netwitness/archiver/nas
Note: Step 7,8 and 9 applicable to 10.4.X version.
- In the Security Analytics UI, navigate to Administration -> Services, click on the Action button for the Archiver, select View -> Config, and click on Add Tier.
- Configure the following under Warm tab then click the Save button:
- Click on the Apply button.
Note: Step A and B applicable to 10.6 and 11.X versions.
- Click on Settings button highlighted below.
 - Configure mount directory as below and click Save.
- At the prompt, click the Yes button.
 - Once the Archiver service is back up, verify that it is seeing the Warm storage.
