f. Expand the database folder and select the config folder.
g. Look at packet.dir, meta.dir,and session.dir as applicable to your service. Compare the
output of the df - hP command to the database/config values shown in NetWitness
Platform. Make sure that there is an entry for each PowerVault added and the size of the
db for each service is as follows:
/var/netwitness/decoder/packetdb#=<n>
where <n> is similar to the size of the new storage.
For Archiver, the packet.dir, meta.dir, and packet.dir are found by default in the
following locations:
10.6.6.0 or later: /archiver/collections/default/database/config
In Archiver, the <n> value is 0B. For example,
/var/netwitness/archiver/database0/alldata/metadb=0B.
