Panorama - unable to use log disk

[PersonalPA220]

New Panorama 9.0.5 install. Panorama was successfully installed in a VM on a single disk. Needed space for a log volume so a second disk was created and attached to the VM. VM was rebooted, disk added using “request system disk add sdb”, disk is visible via “show system disk details", shows Admin Enabled state.

When attempting to use this volume in “Managed Collectors”, the disk doesn't show when we click Add. Tried multiple reboots to no avail.

Problem solved by tech support.

Under "Managed Collectors" add and enter just the serial number of the collector. Commit the changes. Attempt to add a new collector and the disk will appear in the list.

We just updated to 10.2.x and had issues after adding the disk.   

We had a similar issue.

The disk would show up in the console (SSH session) and would show ready, but we could not add them to the collector.

After making a minor tweak to an object description and doing a "COMMIT" we were able to add the disk to the collector.

Don't forget to Commit after adding the disks via SSH and after adding to the collector in the GUI.

Team,

We are also unable to add disk in collector in panorama. But if we checked in CLI then it shows present but admin disable.

What is the solution?

[ksalustro]

At the CLI if you do 

So you can do 

1. Enter the following command to view the disks on the Panorama virtual appliance:

   show system disk details

   The user will see the following response:

   	Name
   : sdb 
   	State : Present 
   	Size : 2048000 MB 
   	Status : Available 
   	Reason : Admin enabled 
   	Name : sdc 
   	State : Present 
   	Size : 2048000 MB 
   	Status : Available 
   	Reason : Admin disabled

2. Enter the following command and confirm the request when prompted for all disks with the Reason : Admin disabled response:

   request system disk add sdc
