Extend Storage for SASE Node

[#1]

Note: Only pre-defined host-models can be extended. Custom host models can not be extended.

Customer storage requirements such as higher retention for packet and meta data may change over time after initial storage configuration. SASE storage models support additional storage allocations. The first column in Storage Extension Matrix table below lists the current host model deployed and the second column shows the available host-models that the initial model can be extended.

Storage Extension Matrix:

Current Model (model_name)	Supported Storage Extensions (model_name)
c1r6m30	c1r12m60 c1r23m120
c1r12m60	c1r23m120
c1r23m120	N/A (cannot be extended)

Extend Decoder or Concentrator Storage

Extending decoder storage involves the following steps on the Admin Server or Node-z:

1. Identify the new model in host-models.yml and update the node’s model_name value with the new model, additional_storage to true and click Save.

2. Execute the below command to extend the storage.

   nw-create-cloud-hybrid --enable-cloud-sase

3. Complete the storage configuration using NW REST API by logging into Admin Server or UI and Use REST API utility to create partitions and service allocations (Navigate to decoder’s explorer view ->deviceappliance->properties->Right Click and select Properties drop-down).

4. Complete the storage configuration of new disks added in the above step using REST API. Refer to Configure Storage Using the REST API section for details. Refer to Appendix B - Sample Scenario for Configuring SASE Decoder Storage and Appendix C - Sample Scenario for Configuring SASE Concentrator Storage for sample scenarios.
