Objective
The VM-Series firewall requires a 60GB virtual disk, of which 21GB is used for logging, by default. If this 21GB is not enough, one can add a new virtual disk to increase log storage capacity. This task is described below.
Environment
- VM Series Firewall.
- Any PAN-OS.
- Azure Cloud.
Procedure
- In Azure Dashboard, select the FW Virtual Machine to which you want to add a logging disk for.
- Stop the VM-Series firewall.
- Select Disks.
- Select Create and attach a new disk.
- Fill in the details as the following example:
- Select Save.
- Start the firewall.
Verification:
- The output of "show system disk-space" shows that the new logging partition is using the new disk:
admin@fw01> show system disk-space
