Use these procedures to add attached disk storage to the UEB appliance. You can view the appliance's disk storage in the Edit Storage dialog. Added VMDK or VHD(X) disks are displayed as /dev/sdx/, where x indicates alphabetically the order in which the disks were added to the appliance VM. For example, the initial disk is always /dev/sda/, the first disk that was added as the initial backup storage device is /dev/sdb/, the next would be /dev/sdc/, etc.
1 | On the Configure > Appliances page, select your appliance. |
2 | Click the Storage tab. |
3 | Select the Internal storage and click Edit. |
4 | Manage the attached disks as desired. If a virtual disk you would like to add does not display, click Refresh. |
5 | Once finished editing the storage, click Save. |
Note: Once a disk has been added, it cannot be removed.
1 | Add a virtual disk to the UEB VM: |
• | For an appliance whose initial backup storage is DAS internal to an ESX host, see one of the following VMware documents: |
– | vSphere 5.1: Create a Virtual Disk in vSphere Client 5.1 |
– | vSphere 5.5: Create a Virtual Disk in vSphere Client 5.5 |
– | vSphere 6.0: Create a Virtual Disk in vSphere Client 6.0 |
• | For an appliance whose initial backup storage is DAS internal to a Hyper-V host, Unitrends recommends that you use a VHDX disk and that you add the disk to the SCSI controller. See the following Microsoft documents: |
– | To create a virtual hard disk |
– | To add a hard disk to a virtual machine |
• | For an appliance whose initial backup storage is on an external SAN connected to the hypervisor, add another LUN and expose either the entire LUN to the UEB VM or create VMDK or VHD(X) virtual disks on the LUN and expose the disks to the UEB VM. |
• | For an appliance whose initial backup storage is on an external NAS share connected to the hypervisor, add another NAS share, create VMDK or VHD(X) disks on that share, and connect the share to the host over the NFS protocol. |
2 | On the Configure > Appliances page, select your appliance. |
3 | Click the Storage tab. |
4 | Select the Internal storage and click Edit. |
5 | In the Manage Attached Disks area: |
• | To add an attached disk, select the desired disk from the list of available attached disks and click Add. |
• | To remove an attached disk, select it from the list of available attached disks and click Remove. |
• | Clicking Reset reverts all disk settings to the original settings. |
• | To refresh the list of available disks, click Refresh. |
6 | Adjust the storage allocation for Backups and IR as desired. |
7 | Click Save. On the Configure > Appliances page, the status initially displays as Pending. When the disk is finished attaching, the status converts to Active and the storage can be used. |
