PA-220 disk space issues

[skmurawski]

As most with a PA-220 have experienced, regardless version running (currently latest 10.2.3-h2) root partition fills up all the time and have to run the disk-usage cleanup commands manually and tried enabling aggressive-cleaning as well, it just continuously hits level/ But it just fills up all the effin time:-)

With the root disk issues seemingly persistent (since at least the high 9 versions) and with the PA-220 only containing a measly 32GB, apart from the disk issues we are perfectly happy with the PA-220 and have a handful across our network, so does anyone know if there is a storage upgrade option? just want to be able to have a bigger eMMC storage in it if possible, either by buying and installing or any Palo support routes that would enable a swap of storage?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

we are already at 10.2.8. So you are saying do a reset and then restore snapshot backup will solve the disk space capacity issue?

[JMahannah]

Yes, in my experience, saving and exporting the named snapshot, performing the factory reset and restoring the current snapshot, relieved the storage issues caused by the faulty code in previous versions for the PA220.

We have two PA-220 in HA (active-passive). After upgrading to PAN-OS 10.2.9-h1 we had the same issue on our primary PA-220 two days in row. After upgrading to the lastest version 10.2.10-h2 it seemed to be resolved, but today we had again the failover by the primary PA with high disk space usage exceeds 100 persent again. Is there a possible solution to permanently resolve this ussue?

Thanks Harald Schielein

I would downgrade to 10.1.11-h4; it has been stable for months for us.  Did you factory reset after upgrading to 10.2?

Thanx for your reply, I did no factory reset after upgrading. Downgrading should be the last option. I going to open an support-case on this.
