Panoramakvm1004qcow2+updated [2021]

On KVM-based production hypervisors, Panorama expects logging disks to be exactly 2TB (or increments divisible by 2TB). For sandbox, lab, or EVE-NG environments, administrators often bypass this with smaller custom QCOW2 allocations (e.g., 100GB) to test logging features without consuming massive physical storage arrays. Step-by-Step Deployment of the 10.0.4 QCOW2 Image

Move the official file downloaded via the Palo Alto Networks Customer Support Portal into the freshly provisioned system folder using an SFTP utility like WinSCP or FileZilla. Once transferred, remap the primary image filename to match the virtual disk controller bus mapping standards:

Follow these steps to deploy the image using a standard KVM CLI or network emulation server like EVE-NG: 1. Directory Structure and Image Preparation

Download the Panorama-KVM-10.0.4.qcow2 image from the Palo Alto Networks Support Portal . Take a snapshot or backup of your existing Panorama VM. Step 2: Add the New Image to KVM Upload the .qcow2 file to your KVM host.

: To run effectively, especially in Panorama Mode with log collection, the VM typically requires 8 vCPUs and at least 16GB to 24GB of RAM .

: Ensure you have the appropriate "Base" and "Support" licenses to receive dynamic updates (threat signatures, URL filtering) from the Palo Alto Networks Customer Support Portal. Install Panorama on KVM - Palo Alto Networks

Start the VM:

At least 4 vCPUs and 16GB of RAM allocated for the Panorama VM (minimum lab requirements). Step 1: Prepare the Image Directory
