Question


How does partition sizes change with the increase of system-disk space on a VM panorama?

Environment


  • VM-Panorama
  • Disk Space
  • ESXI Server


Answer


  1. When the root disk space is filling up, login and other issues are seen. 
  2. Disk space can be increased on ESXI server to resolve the issue. Refer Upgrading Panorama VM System disk.
  3. When the partition size is increased, more space is available on "root" partition. The information below provides clarity on the same.
