Hi KaiTT,

I worked on a client setup having multiple r10900 with with multi tenacy but no such disk space issues so far.

r5600  has 1024 GB SSD 2.0 = 1x 1TB M.2 SSD

These are default allocation in case you need to change these partitiotn size can increase and decrease based on the requirements and can be customize.
r5600 can have handle upto 8 multi tenacy, if reuire more go for r5800 or r5900

 

Please note that Increasing the disk size on the BIG-IP VE is irreversible because F5 does not support disk shrinking. 

Please note you must shut down the BIG-IP VE during the disk provisioning steps, and the system will not be available for traffic processing. You should perform this procedure during a suitable maintenance window. Increasing the disk size on the BIG-IP VE is irreversible because F5 does not support disk shrinking. Increasing the disk size beyond 1.9 TB may render the system unbootable. F5 recommends the extended disk space should not exceed 1.9TB.
