Add a Virtual Disk to Panorama on Alibaba Cloud

1. Log in to the Alibaba Cloud Console.
2. Select Elastic Compute ServiceInstances & ImagesInstances and navigate to the Panorama virtual appliance instance.
3. 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. In the Actions column, select Manage.
   2. Select Cloud Disk and Create Disk.
   3. Configure the virtual logging disk.

      • Attach—Select Attach to ECS Instance.
      • ECS Instance—Select the region and the Panorama virtual appliance instance.
      • Storage—Select type of virtual disk and enter the disk capacity.
      • (Optional) Quantity—Specify how many virtual disks to create. By default, 1 virtual disk is created. When creating multiple logging disks, be sure that the sum of all virtual disks does not exceed 24TB.
      • Terms of Service—Review the Alibaba Cloud Terms of Service and check after you have reviewed.
   4. Preview the virtual disk creation.
   5. Create the new virtual disk.

      A status window displays after you create the new virtual disk. After the virtual disk is successfully created, Go to the Disk List to confirm the disk is successfully created.
4. 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 : sdb 
      	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 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 the next step 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.
5. 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.
6. (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.
7. 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.
