Hi All,

Need to upgrade an palo alto 850 from 9.1.4 to 11.0. Basically i need a confirmation on below points.

1.Have only hardware support license, will it sufficient for firmware upgradation. PFA snapshot

2. As per below article i need to only download major release, while download and install the latest maintenance release of same version like.

Download PAN-OS 10.0.0.
Download and install the latest preferred PAN-OS 10.0 maintenance release and reboot.
Download PAN-OS 10.1.0
Download and install the latest preferred PAN-OS 10.1 maintenance release and reboot.
Download PAN-OS 10.2.0
Download and install the latest preferred PAN-OS 10.2 maintenance release and reboot.
Proceed to Upgrade the Firewall to PAN-OS 11.0.

So it means installing major release i.e 10.0.0 is not required and i need to install only latest maintenance release and so on.

Hello @vishalrsshah

With a valid support license, you will be able to download PAN-OS. You will need to download and install the latest app version to avoid any dependency-related errors during the upgrade.

During the upgrade, you only need to download the base version (i.e., 10.0.0), then download and install the latest maintenance release.

I hope this helps.

what do you mean by latest app version. Is it dynamic updates ?
