Panorama VM Migration
We're currently running a Panorama VM in legacy mode on 9.1 but need to upgrade it to 10.1 in order to support a PA-440. I've been working with Palo support because the attempt to upgrade has failed at numerous steps and I believe it's because of how this VM was configured by my predecessor (4 CPUs, 8GB RAM, 52GB system disk thin provisioned, legacy mode). Support recommended building a new VM with the proper specs and migrating to that, and also converting to Panorama mode.Since we are going through this process we also would like to change the mgmt IP of Panorama on the new VM. I'm trying to work out the order of operations here and I'm relatively new to Palo so pardon any ignorance.
- Build new VM with current 9.1.13-h3 OVA
- Take configuration snapshot from existing
- Power on new VM
- Import config into new VM
- Convert to Panorama mode
- Configure log collector
- Commit
- Change firewall config to point to new panorama mgmt IP
- Commit
- Upgrade to 10.1.6-h6
Am I missing any steps here or have something out of order? I appreciate any advice with this process.
Yeah I should have included that we will be building to the new recommended specs of 16 CPUs, 32GB RAM, 81GB system disk thick provisioned, and a 2 TB local log collector disk.
Thank you for the responses, this is all extremely helpful and makes me feel more confident with this task.
