Quiesce snapshots on Panorama VM´s log disks

Carracido — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 15:05:41 GMT

Dear Community,

Well known is the issue when backing up Panorama VMs using quiesce snapshots.

https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA14u0000008UncCAE&lang=en_US%E2%80%A9

A question is:

- Can still be used quiesce snapshots to backup the log disks or the incompatibility affects to both system and log disks?

Thank you!

Hi there.

I have not tried to backup using the snapshots, so maybe someone will add to the comments.

However, i would be concerned about time synch differences if the backup gets too far out of date.

I would think there would be a better way to replicate or use a RAID configuration, so that if one drive failed, you would not lose your logs.

Good Luck.

@Carracido,

I haven't had a customer want to use it for a while, but the last time we implemented it we noticed missing logs sporadically that lined up with snapshot of the drives. Admittedly that's been probably close to two years at this point, so it could have been fixed.
