Add a Virtual Disk to Panorama on Alibaba Cloud
Add a virtual disk to expand log storage for the Panorama™
virtual appliance on Alibaba Cloud.
After you Install Panorama on Alibaba Cloud, add additional
virtual logging disks to expand log storage capacity on the Panorama™
virtual appliance for logs generated by managed firewalls. You can
add virtual disks to a local Log Collector for a Panorama virtual
appliance in Panorama mode or for a Dedicated Log Collector. To add
virtual disks, you must have access to the Alibaba Cloud Console,
the Panorama command-line interface (CLI), and the Panorama web
interface.
The Panorama virtual appliance on Alibaba Cloud
supports only 2TB logging disks and, in total, supports up to 24TB
of log storage. You cannot add a logging disk smaller than 2TB or
a logging disk of a size that is not evenly divisible by 2TB because
the Panorama virtual appliance partitions logging disks in to 2TB
partitions. For example, if you attach a 4TB logging disk, Panorama
will create two 2TB partitions. However, you cannot add a 5TB logging
disk because the leftover 1TB is not supported as a partition.
- Log in to the Alibaba Cloud Console.
- Selectand navigate to the Panorama virtual appliance instance.Elastic Compute ServiceInstances & ImagesInstances
