Mount the Panorama ESXi Server to an NFS Datastore

Select
Panorama
Setup
Operations
and, in the Miscellaneous section, click
Storage Partition Setup
.
Set the
Storage Partition
type to
NFS V3
.
Enter the IP address of the NFS
Server
.
Enter the
Log Directory
path for storing the log files. For example, export/panorama.
For the
Protocol
, select
TCP
or
UDP
, and enter the
Port
for accessing the NFS server.
To use NFS over TCP, the NFS server must support it. Common NFS ports are UDP/TCP 111 for RPC and UDP/TCP 2049 for NFS.
For optimal NFS performance, in the
Read Size
and
Write Size
fields, specify the maximum size of the chunks of data that the client and server pass back and forth to each other. Defining a read/write size optimizes the data volume and speed in transferring data between Panorama and the NFS datastore.
(
Optional
) Select
Copy On Setup
to copy the existing logs stored on Panorama to the NFS volume. If Panorama has a lot of logs, this option might initiate the transfer of a large volume of data.
Click

Server
and
Log Directory
.
