CPU for VM Panorama

NG25_1 — Tue, 07 Feb 2023 15:59:52 GMT

Hello!

I have a question, if I need Panorama to manage virtual firewalls and appliances for the deployment profile, is it enough to just enable panorama?, or is it necessary to add more cpu for panorama? According to the documentation it only adds CPU for the firewalls and only enables Panorama, but I'm not sure if I need more CPU.

Hi @NG25_1 ,

It sounds like you are talking about Software NGFW Credits. If so, then it is enough to check the Panorama box. You do NOT need to add vCPUs. That is what I have been told.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi All,

Just to understand is 2vCPU is same as 4CPU Core?

Hi @Sanjay_Ramaiah ,

Cores are a specification of the CPU hardware and vCPUs are created by the hypervisor. With regard to Panorama, the specifications only say CPUs, which can be vCPUs. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/panorama/9-1/panorama-admin/set-up-panorama/set-up-the-panorama-virtual-appliance/setup-prerequisites-for-the-panorama-virtual-appliance
