Adding storage to your IBM QRadar Network Packet Capture appliance
New in
7.4.1
Follow these steps to add direct-attached storage (DAS) devices to your IBM® QRadar® Network Packet Capture appliance.
- Back up the configuration of your packet capture appliance.
- Attach the DAS devices.
- Reinstall the QRadar Network Packet Capture software.
You must install IBM QRadar Network Packet Capture 7.4.1 (Build 1110) or later.
- Restore the configuration backup.
- Verify that the increased storage appears as expected in QRadar Network Packet Capture.
Failure to follow these procedures might result in the loss of configuration data on the appliance, or the appliance might not be able to use the new DAS devices.
Warning: When you reinstall the software, the existing storage array is destroyed, and all packet capture
data is lost. The packet capture data is not included in the configuration backup and cannot be
restored.
