Add a Virtual Disk to Panorama on Azure
Add a virtual logging disk to Panorama™ in Panorama or
Log Collector mode on Microsoft Azure.
After you Install
Panorama on Azure, 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. To add virtual disks, you must have access to the
Microsoft Azure portal, the Panorama command-line interface (CLI),
and the Panorama web interface.
The Panorama virtual appliance
on Azure 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 partition 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 Microsoft Azure portal.
- Add a virtual logging disk to Panorama.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.
- In the Azure Dashboard, select the PanoramaVirtual Machinesto which you want to add a logging disk.
- SelectDisks.
- +Add data disk.
- In the drop-down for the new disk,Create disk.
- Configure the logging disk.
- Enter the diskName.
- Select the Resource group. If youCreate newresource groups, enter the group name.
- Verify theAccount type(this field is automatically populated).
- In theSource typedrop-down, selectNone.
- SelectChange Sizeand select a 2048 GiB logging disk.
- Createthe new logging disk.
- For theHost caching, selectRead/write.
- Enable each disk.The following example uses the sdc virtual disk.
- Enter the following command to view the disks on the Panorama virtual appliance:show system disk detailsThe 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 theReason : Admin disabledresponse:request system disk add sdcTherequest system disk addcommand 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 theshow system disk detailscommand to verify the status of the disk addition. Continue to the next step when all newly added disk responses displayReason : Admin enabled.
- Make disks available for logging.
- Log in to the Panorama web interface.
- Edit a Log Collector ()PanoramaManaged Collectors
- SelectDisksandAddeach newly added disk.
- ClickOK.
- Select.CommitCommit to PanoramaFor Panorama in an Active/Passive high availability (HA) configuration, wait for HA sync to complete before continuing.
- Selectand push the changes to the Collector Group the Log Collector belongs to.CommitPush to Devices
- (New Panorama deployments in Panorama mode only) Configure Panorama to receive logs.If you are adding logging disks to an existing Panorama virtual appliance, skip to step 6.
- Verify that the Panorama Log Storage capacity is increased.
- Log in to the Panorama web interface.
- Select the Collector Group to which the Panorama virtual appliance belongs ().PanoramaCollector Groups
- Verify that theLog Storagecapacity accurately displays the disk capacity.
