Can you dynamically add disk space with FAZ hardware?

In the context of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer (FAZ) hardware, the correct understanding is that you cannot dynamically add disk space once the hardware has been set up. This means that if you need increased storage, you must physically add a new disk to the system.

FAZ is designed with a clear architecture where disk capacity is fixed based on the hardware configuration at installation. This limitation ensures stable operation and data integrity, as dynamically modifying disk configurations could lead to various complications, including performance issues and data loss.

While options such as the ability to add disk space under certain conditions or based on the version of the hardware might seem plausible, they do not align with the structured and fixed nature of the FAZ environment in terms of storage configuration. Additionally, saying you can always add disk space inaccurately represents the inherent constraints of the device. Therefore, the requirement to add a new disk for expansion accurately reflects how the FortiAnalyzer operates regarding disk capacity management.
