Reducing the size of log collector disk from the minimum of 2TB.

[Kandarp_Desai]

Hello,

We have configured Palo Alto Panorama ( VM series ) as a log collector and have 2TB disk attached which seems to be the minimum required storage. Now we are observing that it's very underutilized and hardly 200GB is being used. We want to save Azure Storage costs, so is there a solution to this, can we reduce the log collector size from the minimum 2TB to something like 500GB ? Or is there any other solutions to save some costs regarding this.

Hi @Kandarp_Desai ,

All the docs say "the Panorama virtual appliance on Azure supports only 2TB logging disks."  https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/panorama/10-2/panorama-admin/set-up-panorama/set-up-the-panorama-v...

The "request system disk add" will not work if it is not the exact size shown in the "show system disk details" command.

Thanks,

Tom

Thanks for the reply Tom. My findings are the same that its not possible to reduce the 2TB disk size.
