I was running out of disk space on my FortiAnalyzer VM, so my VM Admin doubled up the space. I did a reboot and it did not see the increase, so I upgraded it to 5.0.10, and it still does not see the increase in space.
What do I need to do for it to recognize the expanded disk space?
Thank all of you for any assistance!

Based on my experience with Fortinet support, you will need to reformat your disk for the FAZ to recognize the new space.
It would be better to just add a second disk to your FAZ and then you can "extend" your disk space which basically just means the FAZ sees the two disks as one. It would appear as though you can do this with up to 8 disks total.
If you have to format the disk you can so by running "execute format disk" but be aware of the repercussions.
If you want to extend your storage into a second disk:
1. Verify LVM is started - "execute LVM start"
2. See if second disk is recognized - "execute lvm info"
3. Extend storage - "execute lvm extend diskXX"
4. Rebuild DB after reboot "execute sql-local rebuild-db"

Hello bhwong,
You need to format your disk ,
check execute lvm info on your FAZ
if you increase the current disk, the FMG/FAZ VM says the extra space cannot be used unless format performs.
I would suggest you go over these carefully: VM Installation Guide
Hello bhwong,
Thanks for the outputs.
As you can see based on the provided results:
I)FortiAnalyzer-VM # execute lvm info Disk1 : Used 31GB Disk2 : Used 178GB 209GB
II)FortiAnalyzer-VM # get system status Disk Usage : ... Total 196.73GB
III)FortiAnalyzer-VM # get system performance Hard Disk: Total: 206,285,496 KB --->206,285,496/(1024*1024)GB--->196.7291794GB~196.73GB
IV)FortiAnalyzer-VM # diagnose log device Total Quota Summary: Total Quota Allocated Available Allocate% 157.7GB 150.0GB 7.7GB 95.1%
System Storage Summary: Total Used Available Use% 196.7GB 36.2GB 160.6GB 18.4% Reserved space: 39.0GB (19.8% of total space).
Total Quota(This is the one we use for our logs)=Total Storage Summary - Reserved Space =196.7GB-39.0GB=157.7GB
We have couple of points here:
(I) is showing the entire physical disk size.
(II) , (III) , and (IV) (Total Storage) are showing same number.
(IV) also shows us the Total Quota which is the one we can use for logging purposes.
We can try adding another disk to this VM , let's say for example another 50 GB for now.
Let me know about the results.
Cheers

I always assume the first 8GB disk was for the system usage, not the 30+GB that is for data storage. I have added another 50GB and got 196GB now, slightly lesser than expected.
At the Device Log Settings, there is also a Roll log file when size exceeds 200MB. Should this be increased since there is 200GB available now? Or the main storage consumption isn't used by the logs but the analyser output?
Hello bhwong,
Thanks for the update.

Yes, actually , that is the case .
The FortiAnalyzer VM requires at least two virtual hard disks. Before powering on the FortiAnalyzer VM, you must add at least one more virtual hard disk. The default hard drive, faz.vhd, contains the operating system. The second hard drive is used for logs.
Please check (([link=https://docs.fortinet.com/uploaded/files/4365/FortiAnalyzer-VM-Install-Guide.pdf]To configure the virtual hard disk--->P{21}[/link])) for more info.
Can I see the results of below now ?

This is depends on what you are looking for. If you set it to lower size it will roll the log file in smaller size . I would say let's keep it as default for now.
For more details on this I would encourage you to review this (([link=https://docs.fortinet.com/uploaded/files/4592/FortiAnalyzer-6.0.2-Administration-Guide.pdf]Roll logs when they reach a specific size--->P{188}[/link])).
Thanks
Hello bhwing,
Thanks for your reply.
btw, I have only enable one network port. What is the purpose for having 4 network ports?
It is actually depends on your network design, let's say you would like to have a dedicated management IP to your FAZ then you may configure another port on FortiAnalyzer as the logging interface. In that case, you need to assign specific IPv4 or IPv6 static routes to a different gateway, so that packets are delivered by a different route.
Also please make sure the extra space has been allocated to the ADOM.
Go to System Setting --->All ADOMs---> Select root--->edit--->Check the Disk Utilization
