Add a Virtual Disk to Panorama on AWS

1. Log in to AWS Web Service console and select the EC2 Dashboard.
   • Amazon Web Service Console
   • AWS GovCloud Web Service Console
2. 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.
   1. On the EC2 Dashboard, select Volumes and Create Volume:
      • Select your preferred Volume Type. For general purpose use, select General Purpose SSD (GP2).
      • Configure the Size of the volume as 2048 GiB.
      • Select the same Availability Zone that your Panorama virtual appliance instance is located in.
      • (Optional) Encrypt the volume.
      • (Optional) Add tags to your volume.
   2. Click Create Volume.

   3. In the Volumes page, select the volume you, select ActionsAttach Volume.
   4. Attach the Panorama virtual appliance Instance.
      1. Select your Panorama Instance.
      2. Specify the Device name for the logging disk volume you created.
3. Configure each disk.
   The following example uses the sdc virtual disk.
   1. Log in to the Panorama CLI.
   2. 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 : nvme1n1 
      	State : Present 
      	Size : 2048000 MB 
      	Status : Available 
      	Reason : Admin enabled 
      	Name : nvme2n1 
      	State : Present 
      	Size : 2048000 MB 
      	Status : Available 
      	Reason : Admin disabled

   3. Enter the following command and confirm the request when prompted for all disks with the Reason : Admin disabled response:
      request system disk add nvme2n1

      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.
   4. 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.
4. Make disks available for logging.
   1. Log in to the Panorama web interface.
   2. Edit a Log Collector (PanoramaManaged Collectors).
   3. Select Disks and Add each newly added disk.
   4. Click OK.
   5. Select CommitCommit to Panorama.
      For Panorama in an Active/Passive high availability (HA) configuration, wait for HA sync to complete before continuing.
   6. Select CommitPush to Devices and push the changes to the Collector Group the Log Collector belongs to.
5. (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.
   1. Configure a Collector Group.
   2. Configure Log Forwarding to Panorama.
6. Verify that the Panorama Log Storage capacity is increased.
   1. Log in to the Panorama web interface.
   2. Select the Collector Group to which the Panorama virtual appliance belongs (PanoramaCollector Groups).
   3. Verify that the Log Storage capacity accurately displays the disk capacity.
