Will there be any log loss when re-generating metadata on Panorama?

> request metadata-regenerate slot <slot n>

• Panorama
• M-Series

1. The disks on which the metadata is regenerated will be unavailable for write/read.
2. If the Panorama/LC has multiple disks, it will continue to write logs to other disks if they are already up and running.
3. However, if you are having a single disk(pair), and you have buffered log-forwarding disabled, then the logs at this time will not be forwarded to Panorama,
   hence, lost.
4. In such scenarios, when you are regenerating metadata, make sure to enable buffered log-forwarding before starting the process,
   if you want these logs can be retrieved later.
5. The default setting is, Buffered log Forwarding is enabled.
