Add a Virtual Disk to Panorama on Hyper-V
Add a virtual logging disk to Panorama™ in Panorama or
Log Collector mode on Hyper-V.
After you Install Panorama on Hyper-V,
add virtual logging disks to the Panorama™ virtual appliance instance
to provide storage 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. The
Panorama virtual appliance on Hyper-V 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.
