Troubleshooting Troubleshoot Log Storage and Connection Issues
Step 4 Prepare the disks for migration.
Generating the metadata for each
disk pair rebuilds the indexes.
Therefore, depending on the data
size, this process can take a long
time to complete. To expedite the
process, you can launch multiple
CLI sessions and run the metadata
regeneration command in each
session to complete the process
simultaneously for every pair. For
details, see Regenerate Metadata
for M ‐ 100 Appliance RAID Pairs .
1. Insert the disks into the new M ‐ 100 appliance. For details,
refer to the disk replacement procedure in the M ‐ 100
Appliance Hardware Reference Guide .
You must maintain the disk pair association. Although
you can place a disk pair from slot A1/A2 on the old
appliance into slot B1/B2 on the new appliance, you
must keep the disks together in the same slot;
otherwise, Panorama might not restore the data
successfully.
2. Enable the disk pairs by running the following CLI command
for each pair:
>
request system raid add <slot> force no ‐ format
For example:
>
request system raid add A1 force no ‐ format
>
request system raid add A2 force no ‐ format
The
force
and
no-format
arguments are required. The
force
argument associates the disk pair with the new appliance. The
no-format
argument prevents reformatting of the drives and
retains the logs stored on the disks.
3. Generate the metadata for each disk pair.
>
request metadata ‐ regenerate slot <slot_number>
For example:
>
request metadata ‐ regenerate slot 1
You can ignore any
unary operator expected
error that
appears after entering this command.
4. Synchronize the configuration of the M ‐ 100 appliance HA
peers.
>
request high ‐ availability sync ‐ to ‐ remote running ‐ config
Step 5 Configure the local Log Collector on the
new M ‐ 100 appliance.
For all steps with commands that
require a device serial number,
you must type the entire serial
number; pressing the Tab key
won’t complete a partial serial
number.
Don’t enable the disks on the new M ‐ 100
appliance at this point. When you
successfully migrate the logs, Panorama
automatically enables the disks.
1. Configure the local Log Collector as a managed collector using
the Panorama web interface or using the following CLI
commands:
>
configure
#
set log ‐ collector <log ‐ collector_SN> deviceconfig system
hostname <log ‐ collector ‐ hostname>
#
exit
2. Verify that the local Log Collector is connected to Panorama
and that the status of its disk pairs is present/available.
>
show log ‐ collector serial ‐ number <log ‐ collector_SN>
The disk pairs will display as disabled at this stage of the
restoration process.
3. Commit your changes to Panorama. Don’t commit the
changes to the Collector Group just yet.
>
