Hi,
We are running a number of virtual firewalls on VMware and according to the documentation you are required to add a new hard drive when upgrading to version 8. Moving from 40 GB to 60 GB.
The upgrade itself goes smoothly and the firewall is running 8.0.7 without any trouble. However, when trying to add a new hard drive the trouble starts.
My path:
- Power off the VM
- Add new hard drive (60 GB)
- Power on the VM
Now I would expect to be able to login through the console with my admin user and run the command
request system clone-system-disk target sdb
But I am unable to login at all. The firewall management interface replies to ping and SSH, but no web GUI. And no matter how long I wait for the firewall I am unable to login t\with my admin user (or any other user).
Am I doing something wrong? I have tried on two different VMs now with the same result.
As soon as I power off the VM and remove the ned hard drive everything works again.
Any tips?
