Log Processing Card (LPC)
Log Processing Card (LPC)
The Log Processing Card (LPC) is a dedicated card with a processor, memory, and storage drives used
to handle all logging for the PA-7050 firewall. The LPC contains four Advanced Mezzanine Cards
(AMCs) used as a carrier for each drive.
When replacing a drive, the AMC/Disk drive is ordered and installed
as one unit and is hot-swappable.
There is no special configuration needed for the chassis to use this card for logging.
IMPORTANT:
The LPC must be installed in slot 8 and is required to operate the chassis. The LPC
must also contain at least one formated AMC/drive. During normal operation, all four AMC/drives
should be installed in two RAID 1 pairs.
