Add a Virtual Disk to Panorama on KVM

Shutdown
the Panorama virtual appliance instance on the Virtual Machine Manager.
Double-click the Panorama virtual appliance instance in the Virtual Machine Manager and
Show virtual hardware details
.
Add the virtual logging disk. Repeat this step as many times as needed.
In all modes, the first logging disk on the Panorama VM must be at least 2TB in order to add additional disks. If the first logging disk is smaller than 2TB, you will be unable to add additional disk space.
Create a disk image for a virtual image
(
Add Hardware
Storage
) and configure the virtual disk storage capacity to the appropriate 2TB value:2000GB or 14901.2GiB depending on your Virtual Machine Manager.
Depending on the version, some Virtual Machine Managers use GiB (gibibyte) to allocate memory. Be sure you correctly convert the required storage capacity to avoid under provisioning the virtual logging disk and sending the Panorama virtual appliance into maintenance mode.

The user will see the following response:
	Name

	State : Present 
	Size : 2048000 MB 
	Status : Available 
	Reason : Admin enabled 
	Name : sdc 
	State : Present 
	Size : 2048000 MB 
	Status : Available 
	Reason : Admin disabled
Enter the following command and confirm the request when prompted for all disks with the
Reason : Admin disabled
response:
request system disk add sdc
The
request system disk add
command is not available on a Panorama management server in Management Only mode because logging is not supported in this mode. If you do not see the command, Set up a Panorama Virtual Appliance in Panorama Mode to enable the logging disks. Once in Panorama mode, Log in to the Panorama CLI and continue to Step 4 to verify the disk addition.
Enter the
show system disk details
command to verify the status of the disk addition. Continue to the next step when all newly added disk responses display
