PA-7000 Series Firewall Installation
Verify the PA-7000 Series Firewall LPC and NPC
Configuration
After you install the front-slot cards and power on the PA-7000 Series firewall (described in
Connect Power to a PA-7000 Series Firewall
), you can use the following information to verify the
status of the Log Processing Card (LPC) and the Network Processing Cards (NPCs).

Verify the PA-7000 Series Firewall LPC Configuration
After you install the Log Processing Card (LPC) and Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMCs) in the
chassis, the firewall configures the first two drives on the left (A1 and A2) in a RAID 1 pair and
the second two drives (B1 and B2 on the right) in a second RAID 1 pair. If the AMCs contain 1TB
drives the total log storage capacity is 2TBs; if the AMCs contain 2TB drives the total capacity is
4TBs. The initial formating and RAID 1 configuration will take approximately 3 minutes.
The chassis will not operate without a functioning LPC with at least one drive configured.
During normal operation, all four drives should be installed and configured in two RAID 1
pairs.
To view the status of the RAID configuration, run the following command:
admin@PA-7050>
show system
raid detail
Confirm that at least one RAID 1 pair shows
Available
, which indicates that a drive pair is ready
and the LPC can receive logs. In the following output,
Disk Pair S8A
shows
Available
and
the status of the first RAID 1 is
clean
. The second RAID 1 pair (
Disk Pair S8B
) is also ready.
