new panorama vesion 8 legacy adding disk

PanIst — Fri, 20 Oct 2017 14:05:43 GMT

Hi,

newly deployed ESXi vm panorama 8.0.2

By default free space is 11gb this is ok.

Then trying to add a new disk for exmpla 150gb.

This is working with version 7.1 new panorama.

Can we also make this work with new deployed 8.0.x panorama (legacy mode)

Name : sdb

State: present

size : 153600

Status : unavailabe

Reason : Admin disabled

How can we fix that ?

Regards

you can use the command

request system disk add sdb

to add the disk

but only in panorama mode....

I never see the document about add the disk in legacy mode...

Our documentation only shows how to add an additional disk to Panorama mode, but legacy.

Here are the steps to achieve that:

debug panorama-vld-mgr reset-logging-disk

request restart system

Please notice that you must reboot your Panomara to successfully run the above command.

I tried this after adding 50Gb virtual disk but log storage is still 11Gb (12.54), so doesn't appear to work for me.

Hi,

did you check show system disk-space ?

your output seems normal.

can you check quota also ?

Hi, I have run "show system disk-space" and interestingly it looks like it is logging to the new disk

Filesystem            Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2             7.9G 2.6G 5.0G 35% /
/dev/sda5              24G 2.1G   21G   9% /opt/pancfg
/dev/sda6             6.0G 947M 4.7G 17% /opt/panrepo
tmpfs                 4.0G 110M 3.8G   3% /dev/shm
cgroup_root           4.0G     0 4.0G   0% /cgroup
/dev/sdb1              21G 509M   19G   3% /opt/panlogs

However the new disk is 52Gb and not 21GB and also if I look in device > management >Logging and Reporting it only still displays 12.54GB under log storage.

I deleted the additional disk from the VM and added a new one and it have fixed itself.

This looks like an old post so sorry to drag it up. I have a Panorama Virtual Appliance in Legacy mode that's I'm working on getting to Panorama mode. The sdb is only sitting at 1TB when in VMWare it's showing at 2TB, so the command above (debug panorama-vld-mgr reset-logging-disk) seems like it could help us make use of the other 1TB.

Another question on this thread I have though is to @wibba and how did you get your pancfg partition to be 24GB on a virtual appliance? Did you add a bigger system disk and run the clone command (request system clone-system-disk target disk) in PanOS? The virtual appliance only have a system partition of 7GB for pancfg.

Many Thanks
