Replace a PA-7500 Series Firewall Logging Drive
Learn how to replace a logging drive on a PA-7500 Series firewall.
The Management Processing Card (MPC) contains two slots for logging drives. The
following procedure describes how to install or replace a logging drive.
Attach an ESD strap to your wrist and plug the other end in to the ESD port
location on the chassis.
Loosen the retaining screw on the logging drive blank cover while gently
pulling on the pull tab. Proceed until the logging drive blank cover can be
pulled out from the MPC faceplate.
Insert the logging drive into the opening in the MPC faceplate. Align the
retainer screw with the threaded hole in the MPC faceplate.
Once the logging drive is fully seated, tighten the retainer screw to 4
in-lbs.
Exceeding a
torque of 4.5 in-lbs will damage the equipment.
Use a terminal emulator such as PuTTY to add the logging drive to the system.
Enter the following CLI command:
admin@PA-7500> request system disk add nvme0n1
Executing this command will delete all data on the drive being added.
Adding the logging drive can take a few minutes. Use
admin@PA-7500> show system disk details
to
check the status. The
Reason
field displays
Admin enabled
when the process is
complete.
Enable the newly added logging drive by entering the following CLI
command:
admin@PA-7500> request logdb-migrate logging-drive start
The firewall automatically reboots
after enabling the new logging drive.
