Objective


  • To replace the SSD in a PA-5000 series box with RAID configuration.
  • If a single drive fails in a RAID, two blank drives of the same make and model will be sent as replacement for reliability reasons.
  • Palo Alto Networks has determined that there are long term reliability issues with running RAID with mixed drive models, even if those drives are from the same vendor.
  • It is not recommended to configure a system in RAID mode with different SSD drive models.

Environment


  • Palo Alto 5000 Series Firewalls
  • Supported PAN-OS
  • RAID

Procedure


Refer to the PA-5000_series_SSD_Upgrade_Options  on replacing drives and migrating data in a RAID configuration.
