Adding new disks
Some FortiAnalyzer units have space to ass more hard disks to increase your storage capacity.
| Fortinet recommends that you use the same disks as those supplied by Fortinet. Disks of other brands will not be supported by Fortinet. For information on purchasing extra hard disks, contact your Fortinet reseller. |
To add more hard disks
1. Obtain the same disks as those supplied by Fortinet.
2. Back up the log data on the FortiAnalyzer unit. You can also migrate the data to another Fortianalyzer unit if you have one. Data migration reduces system down time and risk of data loss.
For information on data backup, see
“Backing up the system”.
3. Install the disks on the FortiAnalyzer unit. You can do so while the FortiAnalyzer unit is running.
4. Configure the RAID level.
