Made several changes to the appendices for EMC Celerra NS22 hardware
offering. Changed every NAS instance to NAS 3500.
1. Introduction
1. Introduction
RSA enVision is a feature-rich compliance and security application. It allows you to automatically
capture and analyze log information from your network, security, application, operating and storage
environments. enVision's LogSmart Internet Protocol Database (IPDB) provides the only
architecture proven to automatically collect and protect all the data, from any network device, without
filtering or agents. It gives you a true 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, plus the
ability to grow over time.
enVision is made up of three components:
Application - supports interactive users and runs the suite of analysis tools.
1-1
1. Introduction
Site Deployment
enVision is deployed on a site basis. The enVision components are deployed based on the type of site
you have. There are two types of sites:
enVision version 3.5.0 allows you to run version 3.3.6 and 3.5.0 of enVision within a multi-site
deployment, where versions differ across sites in a NIC Domain but the same version runs on all
systems within a site.
Please do not make any updates to your Microsoft Windows environment (e.g., change the
name of LAN interface, add IP addresses) prior to installing enVision.
1-2
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 from up to 256 source devices without sacrificing any of the realtime 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 events per second (EPS) from up to 1,250
source devices while supporting up to 16 simultaneous online users and still have plenty of
horsepower to spare 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 Appendix A, Hardware Specifications and Requirements, for information on the appliances and the
external storage.
2-1
Activity
Select a hardware setup location that meets the requirements for the current installation and
for future growth. See Appendix A, Hardware Specifications and Requirements, for
location requirements.
See the appliance documentation for information on installing the appliance.
If your site has external storage, see the storage system documentation for information on
installing the storage system.

servers.
Connect to the appliance using a KVM switch. (You can also connect remotely using
DRAC instead of using a local KVM. See Appendix C, Dell Remote Access Controller
(DRAC) Utility, for instructions.)
The Configuration Wizard starts automatically.
b.
Prior to completing the configuration process, the wizard displays the Review
Page window. Verify everything is correct on the Review Page. Click Finish. (If
the Review page is not correct, click Cancel and check your hardware setup.)
c.
As the last step in the configuration process, the wizard displays the enVision
Configuration Wizard Log window. The log shows the steps the system is
performing to configure the site. The system restarts several times while
completing the setup.
The setup process takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.
The appliance restarts automatically when the site configuration process is
complete.
After the site configuration is complete, you must set up the processing options in enVision. See
Chapter 6, Next Steps, for more information.
You cannot change any of the site configuration options after the wizard is finished.

Note: If you have 3 LCs, you can
only have up to 2 A-SRVs.
Each site can optionally host up to 16 Remote Collector (RC) server appliances; each RC is
considered a site. RCs capture incoming events remotely. Remote collectors have store-and-forward
technology that allows user-selectable critical events to be processed in real-time, while non-critical
events are compressed, encrypted, and locally cached until they can be forwarded to the master
enVision site (by the NIC Forwarder Service) for historical analysis as available WAN bandwidth
allows. (The Administrator sets up the remote collector's Forwarder parameters on the Modify
Collector Service window in enVision.) See Chapter 4, Remote Collector Site, for information on
configuring RCs.
Note: The total events per second (EPS) for all Collectors per site (per D-SRV) cannot exceed 30,000
EPS.
Here is an example of a multiple appliance site:

EMC Celerra
The audience for this appendix is anyone that specifies storage requirements for RSA enVision log
storage and engineers performing installation and configuration of servers.
E-1
You must connect NAS 3500 to the RSA enVision storage network switch and configure NAS 3500
prior to configuring enVision.
Minimum of 15 FC HDDs1. HDD capacity depends on the data storage capacity required.
The I/O workload generated by RSA enVision consists of simultaneous reads and writes. For the most part,
the reads are random. This workload is not suitable for ATA drives. You should use Fibre Channel drives due
to the random nature of the workload.
E-2
Network Configuration
To set up the appropriate network connections between RSA enVision and the network attached
storage, you must:
1.
2.
3.
Set up the network connections to the RSA enVision appliance according to the enVision
documentation. The following diagram shows you how to connect the enVision appliance to
the customer LAN and storage network switch:

CIFS Server
Use the following parameters to create the CFIS 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

You need local user authentication to ensure that the RSA enVision local collectors can authenticate through
to NAS 3500 when the Window domain controller is not available; otherwise data collection may be
interrupted.

You must have time synchronization between NAS 3500 and the RSA enVision appliances. This time
synchronization is essential for CIFS.

For RSA enVision 3.3.x, RSA recommends that you use a separate file system for each CIFS Share.
There is a daily potential of 122,8804 files that each Local Collector could write to NAS 3500 resulting
in a total of 368,6405 files per day.
For RSA enVision 3.7.x, the number of files6 created has been significantly reduced and a single file
system for all 3 Local Collectors will suffice.

NetApp FAS
Network Switch
RAID DP
The minimum hardware requirements, stated above, have been certified for RSA enVision data storage
up to 30,000 EPS.
E-8
Setup Requirements
Here are the setup requirements for the NetApp FAS:
Time: Time synchronization to the NetApp Filer and RSA enVision appliances should
exist, based on the same time source. This ensures that time sync is maintained between
the NetApp FAS Filer and enVision appliance. This time synchronization is essential for
CIFS.
CIFS: The following CIFS Shares must be created on the NetApp Filer, each on a
separate file system, one for each enVision collector:
E-9
E-10
1.
Connect network cables from the enVision appliances to switch and storage array to switch.
2.
Connect the network connection from the enVision appliance through the network interface
named SWITCH.

the EMC Celerra NS352 or NS22 to the enVision Windows Domain (not the recommended)
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, the password must be reset on the NetApp FAS. This is the recommended
authentication method.
To use the local user authentication method using existing enVision users:
1.
2.
Add the following four users to the EMC Celerra NS352 or NS22 CIFS server, previously
created:
Username
Password
master
themaster01
NIC_System
n!0A6y_7tbE9z3
nic_sshd
1937Partanna1985
nic_sftp
1937Partanna1985
Ensure that these four users have full control to the appropriate CIFS share.
Details on adding the users to the NetApp FAS are detailed below:
NetApp Multistore Authentication Method
NetApp Multistore is a product from NetApp that allows a single NetApp appliance to authenticate and
share to multiple domains. MultiStore allows the creation of separate private logical partitions in filer
network and storage resource. Each virtual storage partition maintains absolute separation from every
other storage partition. The result is that multiple domains can exist on a single NetApp Filer.
Call your NetApp sales representative for details on using the NetApp Multistore product.

During the wizard process, the Windows domain is created and the appliances restart. The
wizard displays the following message:
The Celerra configuration flag has been set. Configure your Celerra device now
and then click OK to proceed
Use the NetpApp FAS Control Station to add the previously created CIFS Server to the
enVision Windows domain.
Complete the enVision configuration wizard.
4.
Re-configure 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.
