NSE 5 – FortiAnalyzer 6.0 — Question 10

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, expand the size of the existing virtual disk and use the # execute format disk command to reformat the disk
• D. From the VM host manager, add an additional virtual disk and rebuild your RAID array

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct method involves adding a new virtual disk and using the #execute lvm extend <disk number> command, which is the most effective way to extend storage on a FortiAnalyzer VM. Option B only suggests resizing the existing disk without the necessary commands, while option C includes a reformatting step that is not needed and could lead to data loss. Option D incorrectly suggests rebuilding a RAID array, which is not a recommended approach for simply expanding disk space.
