In what partition is PANOS stored?

jwolach — Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:43:55 GMT

Where are the PANOS images stored on the hard disk & how much storage space is allocated for the images?

The PANOS images are stored under /opt/pancfg directory

You can use the command

>show system disk-space

to look at how much space is left.

admin@41-PA-4020(active)> show system disk-space

Thank you very much. That's the command I was using. I just didn't know where the PANOS images were stored.

Kind regards,

Jeff

The PanOS images will actually be downloaded to '/opt/panrepo' partition.

This can be confirmed by downloading a software release, checking disk-space, and then deleting the release:

> request system software download version 5.0.4

> show system disk-space

Notice panrepo changes by 185MB which is roughly same size as the image file. The size for panrepo partition itself will vary for each platform.
