Add a Virtual Disk to Panorama on vCloud Air

Add additional disks to Panorama.
In all modes, the first logging disk on the Panorama VM must be at least 2TB to add additional disks. If the first logging disk is less than 2TB, you will be unable to add additional disk space.
Access the vCloud Air web console and select your
Virtual Private Cloud On Demand
region.
Select the Panorama virtual appliance in the
Virtual Machines
tab.
Add another disk
(
Actions
Edit Resources
).
Set the
Storage
size. If the Panorama virtual appliance is in Panorama mode, set the size to at least 2TB. If the appliance is in Legacy mode, you can set the size to as much as 8TB.
In Panorama mode, you can add disk sizes larger than 2TB and Panorama will automatically create as many 2TB partitions as possible. For example, if disk sdc was 24TB, Panorama will create 12 2TB partitions. These disks will be named sdc1 through sdc12.
Set the storage tier to
Standard
or
SSD-Accelerated
.
Repeat the previous steps to add additional disks to the Panorama virtual appliance as needed.
Save
your changes.
Configure each disk.
The following example uses the sdc virtual disk.
Log in to the Panorama CLI.
Enter the following command to view the disks on the Panorama virtual appliance:
show system disk details
The user will see the following response:
	Name
: sdb 
	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
Reason : Admin enabled
