lvm

With Logical Volume Manager (LVM), a FortiAnalyzer VM device can have up to fifteen total log disks added to an instance. More space can be added by adding another disk and running the LVM extend command.

Adding an extra disk or adding space to the current LVM disk will not impact current saved archive logs and analytics logs. However, it is recommended to save logs using the following commands before doing so:

execute backup logs <device name(s) | all> {ftp | scp | sftp} <ip> <username> <passwd> <directory> [vdlist]

and

execute backup reports <report schedule name(s) | all> {ftp | scp | sftp} <ip> <username> <passwd> <directory> [vdlist]

For more details about these commands, see backup.

This command is only available on FortiAnalyzer VM models.

You can use the execute format disk command to start the LVM. See format.
