Unable to change system mode

[V.Vijaykumar]

I am trying to configure panorama on Azure as a log collector.
But I am unable to change the system-mode from management-only to Panorama.

Hello @V.Vijaykumar

thanks for posting.

Could you please check documentation Set Up the Panorama Virtual Appliance with Local Log Collector first? There are certain pre-requisites before you can convert Panorama to Panorama mode.

Could you also share error or warning you are getting?

Kind Regards

Hi Pavel,

I do not get any error. After the command, it says changing mode from management to panorama and reboots. After reboot, it still stays in management mode.

I have identified the problem. The prerequisites states "The virtual disk capacity must be a multiple of 2TB and can be up to 24TB"

I removed all my virtual disks and added just a 2TB disk and was able to change the system mode.

Later I realised that previously when I was trying, my disk capacity was 4094GB (not a multiple of 2TB) instead of 4096GB and that could have been the reason it didn't work.
