1. Introduction RSA enVision™ is a feature-rich compliance and security application. It allows you to capture and analyze log information automatically from your network, security, application, operating and storage environments. The enVision LogSmart® Internet Protocol Database (IPDB) provides the only architecture proven to collect and protect all the data automatically, from any network device, without filtering or agents. It gives you an accurate picture of how your network is being used, and by whom. It independently monitors your network to verify security policies, to generate alerts for possible compliance breaches, and to analyze and report on network performance.

enVision is tightly coupled with its underlying appliance operating system and hardware, and together they comprise a highly scalable platform that provides guaranteed levels of performance.

enVision is made up of three components:

Application – supports interactive users and runs the suite of analysis tools

Collector – captures incoming events

Database – manages access and retrieval of captured events

1. Introduction

RSA enVision Hardware Guide 60 Series 1-2

Site Deployment

enVision is deployed on a site basis. The enVision components are deployed based on the type of site you have. The two types of sites are:

Single appliance site. The ES series appliances are designed to operate in a stand-alone, nondistributed mode. They have all three enVision components―Application, Collector, and Database―installed on one appliance. The single appliance is a site. Some single appliance sites have an external storage system. See Chapter 3 “Single Appliance Site Hardware,” for information on a single appliance site.

Multiple appliance site. The LS series appliances are designed to operate in a distributed installation. Each enVision component―Application, Collector, and Database―is on its own appliance. The appliances together form a site. Distributed multiple appliance sites allow multiple installations of any of the three appliance types to be deployed to manage the variety of network infrastructures found in production environments. All multiple appliance sites have external storage systems. See Chapter 4 “Multiple Appliance Site Hardware” for information on a multiple appliance site.

See Chapter 5 “Remote Collector Site” for information on connecting a Remote Collector site with a multiple appliance site.

3. Single Appliance Site The ES series appliances are designed to operate in a stand-alone, nondistributed mode. The ES appliances have all three enVision components―Application, Collector, and Database―installed on one appliance. The single appliance is a site.

The two enVision appliance series used for single appliance sites are:

ES Series with local storage. Designed for the unique requirements of the small/medium sized business, up to enterprise-wide installations. The ES series achieves the industry's lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) for organizations that need to manage up to 2,500 sustained events per second (EPS) from up to 256 source devices without sacrificing any of the real-time or historical analysis.

ES Series with external storage. Designed for the enterprise, where fleets of devices are often deployed to enforce, monitor, and manage security. The ES series with external storage has been architected to handle over 7,500 sustained EPS from up to 1,250 source devices while supporting up to 16 simultaneous online users and still have enough horsepower for real-time and historical event research and analysis. This translates into over 640 million events per day.

There are different models within each of these types. The appliance model you use depends on your needs.

See Chapter 2 “Single Appliance Site” in the Configuration Guide for information on configuring enVision on single appliance sites.

Safety and Regulatory Statements

WARNING: Power supplies can contain over 240 volts. If mishandled, this high voltage can cause serious injury or death. Do not touch or handle a power cable or power supply unless you have been trained and prepared to perform this task. Always remove the power cord before attempting to remove or work on a Power Unit.

WARNING: Electronic components are sensitive to damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Observe appropriate precautions at all times when handling the RSA enVision appliance and EMC Celerra or its subcomponents.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to connect an Ethernet cable, regular or cross-over, between the EMC Celerra and the RSA enVision appliance. Connect the EMC Celerra through a GigE switch, the same as any other networked device.

CAUTION: When installing disk shelves and a storage system into a movable cabinet or rack, install from the bottom up for best stability.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, allow internal components time to cool before touching them and ensure that the equipment is properly supported or braced when installing options.

WARNING: This equipment is designed for connection to a grounded outlet. The grounding type plug is an important safety feature. To avoid the risk of electrical shock or damage to the equipment, do not disable this feature.

WARNING: This equipment has one or more replaceable batteries. There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. During the hardware warranty period the batteries can only be replaced by RSA. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Appendix B. Remediation for Dell RAID Controller Battery Issue

This appendix describes a scenario with the Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller (PERC) battery that can cause the RSA enVision appliance to malfunction and the steps to follow if this issue occurs. Steps you can follow to prevent the issue from occurring are also included.

Note: This scenario is inherent in RAID controller design, which is intended to protect systems from data loss during operational state (the system is up and running). Similar issues can occur on any server using RAID technology.

Dell RAID Controller Battery Issue

The Dell PERC controller uses a battery to maintain cache state following a power failure. When a power failure or uncontrolled shutdown of the unit occurs, the battery maintains cache state for 72 hours. After this time the battery is depleted and you must recharge it.

With a controlled shutdown, a minimal battery draw exists, which results in battery discharge after an extended unpowered shelf life.

Due to the characteristics of all Lithium-Ion batteries, RSA recommends that you do not leave any unit in a fully discharged state (such as after an uncontrolled shutdown) for an extended period of time.

If the enVision appliance has been powered down for a long period of time, or has maintained the RAID cache state for more than 72 hours, the RAID controller battery may have lost its electrical charge.

If the appliance is powered up with a depleted RAID battery, the system LCD displays the following error message:

E1211 ROMB battery failures

To charge the battery:

1. Power off the unit and unplug it.

2. Wait 10 minutes. Plug the unit in but do not power it up.

3. Leave the unit plugged in with the power off for 48 hours to allow the battery to fully charge.

4. After 48 hours, power on the unit. You can now start using it.

Appendix B. Remediation for Dell RAID Controller Battery Issue

RSA enVision Hardware Guide 60 Series B-2

Prevention of Powering Up an Appliance With a Depleted RAID Battery

If an appliance is powered up with a depleted RAID battery and the error is displayed, customers in two situations can be affected:

A New Installation. In this case, you must delay the installation for about two days to clear the problem and proceed with a clean system that is fully functional.

When Using a Cold Spare Appliance. In this case, RSA recommends that you ignore the error message and continue to use the unit. At the same time, prepare another unit that will be fully functional.

To prevent this problem from occurring, do one of the following:

Keep the units plugged in at all times. This option has the following advantages:

The units are always ready to be used to replace failed units.

You can periodically, (for example, once a month) power up the unit and verify that it initializes without a problem and that it is in prime status to replace any failed unit.

Forty-eight hours before a new installation, plug the unit into the power without powering up the appliance, to ensure the RAID battery is fully charged.

The audience for this appendix is anyone who specifies storage requirements for RSA enVision log storage, and engineers performing installation and configuration of servers.

RSA enVision Hardware Guide 60 Series C-1

Page 38: RSA EnVision 4.0 Hardware Guide - SYS-G-RSA400

Appendix C. Customer-Provided Storage

EMC Celerra Storage

This section describes the requirements and configuration steps to add customer-provided Network Attached Storage (NAS) to enVision for data storage.

RSA enVision supports customer-provided storage on the following certified platforms:

EMC Celerra NS Series / Integrated

EMC Celerra NS Series / Gateway

EMC Celerra NSX Gateway

You must connect NAS to the enVision storage network switch and configure NAS before configuring enVision.

NAS Requirements

For each multiple appliance site, the minimum requirements for NAS hardware to function as enVision storage are:

Minimum number of active Data Movers: 1 (dedicated to enVision storage).

Recommended number of failover Data Movers: 1.

Minimum of 15 FC HDDs: 15 for 3,000 devices, 30 for 6,000 devices.

Note: The I/O workload generated by enVision consists of simultaneous reads and writes. For the most part, the reads are random. Because of the random nature of the workload, you should use Fibre Channel drives. The workload is not suitable for ATA drives.

One dedicated 1GB network interface for each Data Mover.

RSA enVision Hardware Guide 60 Series C-2

Page 39: RSA EnVision 4.0 Hardware Guide - SYS-G-RSA400

Appendix C. Customer-Provided Storage

Network Configuration

To set up the appropriate network connections between enVision and the NAS:

1. Connect the primary Data Mover to the storage network switch.

2. If you are using a failover Data Mover, connect it to the storage network switch.

RSA recommends this connection to increase data availability.

3. Set up the network connections to the enVision appliance according to the enVision documentation.

The following diagram shows how to connect the enVision appliance to the customer LAN and storage network switch:

RSA enVision Hardware Guide 60 Series C-3

Page 40: RSA EnVision 4.0 Hardware Guide - SYS-G-RSA400

Appendix C. Customer-Provided Storage

NAS Configuration

To configure network attached storage, you set up a CIFS Server, local users, and file systems/CIFS shares combinations.

CIFS Server

Use the following parameters to create the CIFS server:

IP address: 10.203.2.101 (Must be connected to the private switch)

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

DNS Server: 10.203.2.11 (D-SRV IP address)

CIFS Server authentication: Local users

NTP Server: 10.203.2.11 (D-SRV IP address)

Note: You must have time synchronization between NAS and the RSA enVision appliances. This time synchronization is essential for CIFS.

Local Users

You need local user authentication to ensure that the RSA enVision local collectors can authenticate through to NAS when the Window domain controller is not available; otherwise data collection may be interrupted.

Appendix C. Customer-Provided Storage

File Systems/CIFS Shares Combinations

The minimum requirement for enVision is the vol0 and vol1 file systems/CIFS shares combinations (for enVision D-SRV and LC1 respectively). If you use additional Local Collectors, you must create the vol2 and vol3 file systems/CIFS shares combinations. The following table contains an example of the file systems/CIFS shares combinations you must set up if you use additional Local Collectors.

File system name CIFS share name

vol0 vol0

vol1 vol1

vol2 vol2

vol3 vol3

For RSA enVision 3.5.0 and later, the number of files created has been significantly reduced and only a single file system is needed for all three Local Collectors.

Note: For RSA enVision 3.5.0 and later, a maximum of 10,240 files per day per Local Collector are created.

RSA enVision Hardware Guide 60 Series C-5

Page 42: RSA EnVision 4.0 Hardware Guide - SYS-G-RSA400

Appendix C. Customer-Provided Storage

Enhanced Availability

Within enVision, you can configure Enhanced Availability (EA) for the Local Collector appliances. For EA, data storage continues to use the CIFS protocol. In addition, you must fulfill an iSCSI LUN storage requirement.

Note: EA is supported in RSA enVision 3.5.0 and later.

Complete the following tasks to configure NAS to support iSCSI for the enVision EA system. (See the NAS documentation for detailed instructions.)

1. Configure the iSCSI service to run over the same IP address as CIFS.

2. Configure NAS to have one iSCSI volume of 1024 MB.

3. Configure the iSCSI volume to have one target, at LUN 0.

4. Configure the iSCSI service to support discovery on port 3260.

5. Configure the iSCSI service to support multiple logins.

6. Add the following IQN names to allow them access to the iSCSI LUN 0:

NetApp CIFS File Storage Authentication

You can authenticate the NetApp FAS can to the enVision appliance using one of the following three methods:

Local user authentication using existing enVision users (recommended)

NetApp Multistore authentication

Authentication of the NetApp FAS to the enVision appliance by adding the NetApp FAS to the enVision Windows Domain

Local User Authentication Using Existing enVision Users

The enVision appliance ships with four users that enVision needs to run:

Master

NIC_System user

NIC_sshd

NIC_sftp

If you create these users on the NetApp FAS with the same password as stored in the enVision systems, Windows ensures that the local user has the rights to storage. If the password changes on the enVision appliances, you must reset the password on the NetApp FAS. RSA recommends this authentication method.

To authenticate the NetApp FAS to the enVision appliance using existing enVision users:

1. Add the following four existing users to the EMC Celerra NS22 CIFS server:

Username Password

Master themaster01

NIC_System n!0A6y_7tbE9z3

NIC_sshd 1937Partanna1985

NIC_sftp 1937Partanna1985

2. Ensure that these four users have full control to the appropriate CIFS share.

NetApp Multistore Authentication

NetApp Multistore allows a single NetApp appliance to authenticate and share multiple domains. Multistore allows the creation of separate private logical partitions in the filer network and storage resource. Each virtual storage partition maintains absolute separation from every other storage partition. This separation allows multiple domains to exist on a single NetApp Filer.

Call your NetApp sales representative for details on using the NetApp Multistore product.

Appendix C. Customer-Provided Storage

Authentication By Adding the NetApp FAS to the RSA enVision Windows Domain

You can authenticate the NetApp FAS to the enVision appliance by adding the NetApp FAS to the enVision Windows Domain. RSA does not recommend this method because you may experience unknown side effects when you add the NetApp into the enVision Windows domain.

Warning: Unknown side effects may occur if you use this method.

The domain must first exist before you can add the NetApp FAS to the enVision Windows Domain.

To authenticate the NetApp FAS to the enVision appliance by adding the NetApp FAS to the enVision Windows domain:

1. Set IiWaitForCelerraConfiguration=YES in the lsconfigurationwizard.cfg file.

2. Run the lsconfigurationwizard.exe enVision configuration wizard.

The wizard:

Creates the Windows domain

Restarts the appliances

Displays the message: The Celerra configuration flag has been set. Configure your Celerra device now and then click OK to proceed.

3. Use the NetApp FAS Control Station to add the previously created CIFS Server to the enVision Windows domain.

4. Complete the enVision configuration wizard.

5. Reconfigure the enVision NIC Packager and NIC Collector services so that they operate with the network attached storage. By default, the NIC Packager Service is run by a local user account which you must reconfigure to be run by a domain user account.

6. Perform the following steps on each Local Collector (LC) appliance:

a. In the Start menu select Run, type services.msc and click OK.

b. Complete the following for the NIC Packager Service:

i. Right-click on NIC Packager Service and select Properties.

ii. In the NIC Packager Properties window, click the Log On tab.

iii. Under the This Account, parameter, replace .\NIC_System with enVision Windows domain name\NIC_System. For example, if testemc.nic is the Windows domain name of the enVision appliances, you would enter testemc.nic\NIC_System.

iv. Type n!0A6y_7tbE9z3 in the Password and Confirm password fields. Click OK.

v. Stop and start the NIC Packager Service.

RSA enVision Hardware Guide 60 Series C-13

c. Complete the following for the NIC Collector Service:

i. Right-click on NIC Collector Service and select Properties.

ii. In the NIC Collector Properties window, click the Log On tab.

iii. Under the This Account parameter replace .\NIC_System with enVision Windows domain name\NIC_System. For example, if testemc.nic is the Windows domain name of the enVision appliances, you would enter testemc.nic\NIC_System.

iv. Type n!0A6y_7tbE9z3 in the Password and Confirm password fields. Click OK.

v. Stop and start the NIC Collector Service.

NetApp CIFS Configuration

You must configure the network share, CIFS, on the NST Storage Array to authenticate against the pre-configured enVision appliance domain.

To configure the CIFS network share:

1. Connect to the NetApp storage array using telnet from the enVision D-SRV appliance (which is connected to the network switch, with a default IP address of 10.203.2.100).

2. At the Username prompt, type root.

3. At the Password prompt, type your factory default password.

4. At the NIappStor prompt, type date CCyymmddhhmm (where CCyy is the year, mm is the month, dd is the date, hh is the hour, and mm is the minute) to set the time and time zone.

For example, type 200903281521 for a date/time of March 28 2009 15:21.

5. At the NIappStor prompt, type timezone timezone to set the Windows domain. (For more information see Appendix B in the Data ONTAP 7.0 Software Setup Guide.).

6. At the NIappStor prompt, type options dns.domainname Windows domain name (where Windows domain name is your unique NIC domain name) to set the Windows DNS domain.

7. At the NIappStor prompt, type cifs terminate.

8. At the NIappStor prompt, type cifs setup to enable CIFS access to the filer from a Windows system.
