Question


  • Can existing logging disk be extended when converting from Legacy to Panorama mode?


Environment


  • Panorama VM: Changing from legacy to Panorama mode.


Answer


  • No, existing logging disk can't be extended if it is less than 2TB. Neither can an additional 2TB logging disk be added because the first logging disk has to be 2TB. 
  • For ex: In this output, the logging disk (sdb1) is 1TB and it can't be extended to to 2TB. Adding a new 2TB logging disk will also not work because first logging disk (sdb1) has to be 2TB.

  • Panorama can still be converted from Legacy to Panorama mode but if the size of the virtual logging disk is less than 2TB, then it cannot be extended in the future.
