Replace a PA-7500 Series Firewall Logging Drive

1. Identify the failed drive and determine the drive model by running the following operational command:

   admin@PA-7500> show system disk details						

2. Remove the failed drive by running the following command:

   admin@PA-7500> request system disk remove <name of disk>

3. Attach an ESD strap to your wrist and plug the other end in to the ESD port location on the chassis.
4. Loosen the retaining screw on the logging drive blank cover while gently pulling on the pull tab. Proceed until the logging drive blank cover can be pulled out from the MPC faceplate.
5. Remove the failed logging drive from the opening in the MPC faceplate.
6. Insert the replacement logging drive. Align the retainer screw with the threaded hole in the MPC faceplate.

7. Once the logging drive is fully seated, tighten the retainer screw to 4 in-lbs.
   Exceeding a torque of 4.5 in-lbs will damage the equipment.
8. Add the logging drive to the system. Enter the following CLI command:

    admin@PA-7500> request system disk add nvme0n1

   Executing this command will delete all data on the drive being added.

   Adding the logging drive can take a few minutes. Use admin@PA-7500> show system disk details to check the status. The Reason field displays Admin enabled when the process is complete.
9. Enable the newly added logging drive by entering the following CLI command:

   admin@PA-7500> request logdb-migrate logging-drive start

   The firewall automatically reboots after enabling the new logging drive.
