Appendix E - Sample Scenario for Extending SASE Concentrator Storage

[#1]

This sample scenario describes the Storage extension for concentrator configured with c1r12m60 model. The supported extension models are c1r6m30, c1r12m60 and c1r23m120.

Follow these steps to extend storage for Concentrator:

1. SSH into node-z (Admin Server). Identify the new model and update model_name and additional_storage values in /root/.sase/sase-deployment-models.yml and save the changes.

   The below screen shot shows an example configuration updated with extended storage model_name: c1r12m60, additional_storage: true . If the additional_storage is not set to true, additional storage is not created even though the model_name is updated.

   The below screen shot shows the updated storage configuration in /root/.sase/sase-deployment-models.yml: model_name: c1r12m60, additional_storage: true. Additional storage disks are created for the updated model_name only when additional_storage is set to true.

   

2. Run the nw-create-cloud-hybrid script on node-z.

   

3. Login to SA UI. To list the all the block devices, Navigate to Hosts -> Select the current Host (concentrator node) -> Services -> Actions -> View -> Explore -> deviceappliance -> appliance -> Right Click -> Properties drop-down -> Select devlist -> Click Send.

   • The new disks corresponding to ‘used=0’ indicate that these disks are not configured.

   • During storage extension, all existing configuration is preserved.

4. Repeat steps 2 through 7 from Appendix C - Sample Scenario for Configuring SASE Concentrator Storage section to complete configuration of the unused (used=0) block devices.
