Mounting the Hard Disk

To mount the disk

1. Login to VMWare.

2. Power down the NSM 3.2.0.

3. Right click on NSM 3.2.0 VM. Click Edit Settings.

   

4. Click ADD NEW DEVICE > Existing Hard Disk.

   

5. Select the file that we had recorded in step 3 of Unmounting the Hard Disk.

   

6. Click Ok.

7. Power on the NSM 3.2.0.

8. Click LAUNCH REMOTE CONSOLE.

   

9. In the CLI console type "show disks".

   

10. Activate the disk. Type “disk activate”. It will reboot the VM and mount the disk on boot. Please enter the password when prompted.

    The password is the encryption key that you had configured while adding external disk in NSM 3.1.1 HF1.

    Do not perform disk initialize command while upgrading. It will delete all the data from the disk if disk initialize is performed.

    

11. After the VM reboots, the disk will be active.
