OVA Disk Configuration
By default LiveWire Virtual is configured with a single OS disk (Hard disk 1), and a single capture storage disk (Hard disk 2). Both of these hard disks can be extended to increase the amount of log storage and capture storage. Capture storage can also be increased by adding additional hard disk devices to LiveWire Virtual.
NOTE: For ESXI 5.5 and later the largest sized disk is 62TB. The maximum number of disks per VM is 60 (requires 4 additional controllers).
