A storage device is a hard drive that is attached to the Cisco SD-WAN Manager server and that contains the /opt/data partition on which the database and other configuration information is saved.
Assigning and formatting a storage device
Each Cisco SD-WAN Manager server has a storage device assigned to it.
The first time after Cisco SD-WAN Manager is installed and boots up, you are prompted to choose a storage device for the Cisco SD-WAN Manager server.
The command line displays the storage device assignment prompt:
Available storage devices:A list of available storage devices follows the prompt, with each device preceded by a number. Type the number corresponding to the storage device you want to use for the server.
After you select a storage device, the system asks if you want to format it.. Type y to format the storage device, or type n to skip formatting. Formatting the storage device permanently deletes all existing data on it.
