Panorama
Virtual
Appliance
Replace
the
Virtual
Disk
on
a
Panorama
Virtual
Appliance
You
can’t
resize
a
virtual
disk
after
adding
it
to
a
Panorama
virtual
appliance
on
an
ESXi
server.
Because
the
Panorama
virtual
appliance
allows
only
one
log
storage
location,
if
you
need
to
increase
or
decrease
disk
space
for
logging,
you
must
replace
the
virtual
disk
on
the
ESXi
server
to
adjust
the
log
storage
capacity.
You
will
lose
the
logs
on
the
existing
disk
when
you
replace
it.
One
way
to
preserve
the
logs
is
to
set
up
a
new
Panorama
virtual
appliance
for
the
new
disk
(see
)
and
maintain
access
to
the
Panorama
containing
the
old
disk
for
as
long
as
you
need
its
logs.
A
second
way
to
preserve
the
logs
is
to
copy
them
from
the
old
disk
to
the
new
disk.
Copying
can
take
several
hours,
depending
on
how
many
logs
the
disk
currently
stores,
and
Panorama
cannot
collect
logs
during
the
process.
Contact
for
instructions
on
how
to
copy
logs
between
disks.
A
third
way
to
preserve
existing
logs
is
to
before
you
replace
the
virtual
disk.
