NSE 5 – FortiAnalyzer 5.4 — Question 7

What is the recommended method of expanding disk space on a FortiAnalyzer VM?

Answer options

• A. From the VM host manager, add an additional virtual disk and use the #execute lvm extend <disk number> command to expand the storage
• B. From the VM host manager, expand the size of the existing virtual disk
• C. From the VM host manager, add an additional disk and rebuild your RAID array
• D. From the VM host manager, expand the size of the existing virtual disk and use the # execute format disk command to reformat the disk

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct method to expand disk space on a FortiAnalyzer VM is to add a virtual disk and use the #execute lvm extend <disk number> command, as this ensures proper integration with the existing logical volume management. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they either do not utilize the correct commands or involve unnecessary steps that do not align with FortiAnalyzer's recommended practices.
