Service the M-300 or M-700 Appliance
STEP 5 | Install the replacement drive in the appliance.
1. Ensure that the drive carrier lever is in the open posion; if it is not, press the ejector
buon on the drive carrier to release the lever and pull it out unl it is fully open.
2. Slide the replacement drive and carrier assembly in to the empty drive bay unl it is
about 1/4” (.6cm) from being fully inserted.
3. Before fully inserng the drive carrier, ensure that the lever aaches to the locking
mechanism on the appliance and then close the lever to seat the carrier.
STEP 6 | Power on the appliance and connect a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable from the RJ-45 port on
your computer to the MGT port on the appliance.
STEP 7 | Change the IP address on your computer to an address in the 192.168.1.0/24 network, such
as 192.168.1.2.
STEP 8 | From a web browser, go to hps://192.168.1.1 and when prompted, log in to the web
interface using the default username and password (admin/admin).
STEP 9 | Perform the following steps to restore the appliance:
1. Configure the appliance to access your management network ( Device > Support >
Interfaces ).
2. Acvate the Support license ( Device > Support ).
3. Acvate licenses and subscripons ( Device > Licenses ).
4. Upgrade or downgrade the appliance so that the soware version matches the version
that was installed on the failed drive.
5. Import a recent backup configuraon to restore the appliance configuraon (
Device >
Operaons Configuraon Management).
For informaon on configuring management access on an M-Series appliance,
refer to Perform Inial Configuraon of the M-Series Appliance in the Panorama
™
Administrator’s guide located on the Technical Documentaon portal. For informaon
on how to upgrade or downgrade an M-Series appliance, refer to the Install Content and
Soware Updates for Panorama in the Panorama Administrator’s guide.
Replace an M-300 or M-700 Appliance Log Drive
The M-300 and M-700 appliance log drives are located on the front of the appliance. Each drive
pair (A1 and A2 for example) is in an independent RAID 1 array. This redundant configuraon
helps ensure that there is no service interrupon or loss of log data if a disk drive fails.
When requesng a replacement log drive from Palo Alto Networks
®
or an authorized reseller, you
will receive two new drives. The second drive is required if the failed drive is a different model
than the replacement drive. In this case, replace both drives in the RAID 1 array that contains the
failed drive so both drives in the array are the same model.
Do not aempt to replace an M-300 or M-700 log drive with a third-party drive. Also, do
not mix drive models within a RAID 1 array—the drive model must be the same for both
drives in a RAID 1 array. You can, however, mix drive models in different RAID 1 arrays. For
example, the drives in the A1/A2 array can both be model ST91000640NS and the drives
in the B1/B2 array can both be model ST1000NX0423.
