PANOS 6

Hithead — Wed, 18 Dec 2013 14:39:55 GMT

Hello,

I guess we've missed the release event of PANOS 6. Sadly we have no overview about the new features and so on...

Do you have some information to share?

PAN-OS 6.0 hasn't been released yet (it's in beta right now). The feature set hasn't been published. Once 6.0 is released, there will be plenty of documentation on the new feature sets.

Only those who are part of the beta program and have accepted the beta agreement can view that document. Once PAN-OS 6.0 is shipping, additional documentation will be released to the public.

Hithead: The answer to this question is essentially "contact your SE and ask about getting on the beta program." I emailed my SE and asked to be added to the beta program, and today the request went through.

I can also get to New Features Guide 6.0 (English) now too.

The features document will help a lot.

As far as the beta, 6.0 comes out next week so I would just wait until the final as oppose to messing with the beta.

This is not mentioned in the release notes.

PANORAMA 5.1 introduced 64-bit mode VMWARE machine. I believe - based on these forums - that it also improved the way that the log indexing worked, in that it replaced the genindex.sh route that is called every 15 minutes with a python script. At the moment 4.1 and 5.0 management plane slow down every time genindex.sh runs,

Assuming my understanding is correct :-), and its real, has this improvement been rolled into 6.0 for Devices and Panorama?

I know logging performance is not very exciting but it becomes important when it impacts performance on a busy device.

Thanks

PANOS 6 is now released... Let's find the bugs :smileygrin:

Re: PANOS 6

ericgearhart — Wed, 22 Jan 2014 11:38:46 GMT

You guys can go ahead and find the bugs... I'll be waiting about a year until PANOS 6.0.10 is out before we will move anything critical to 6.0

Or maybe we'll wait for 6.1.10... hmm. Decisions decisions.

Hithead I believe you found a bug in the WebUI already didn't you? Self fulfilling prophecy there, no? 🙂

Re: PANOS 6

Hithead — Wed, 22 Jan 2014 11:53:30 GMT

It was clear for me, there are bugs. But I'm really interested to get a stable version of PANOS AND GP...

So i'm using my LAB device firstly, before I will enroll version 6.0.10 :smileygrin::smileygrin: on all devices...

Re: PANOS 6

ericgearhart — Wed, 22 Jan 2014 11:55:07 GMT

I have to admit I have installed 6.0 on a couple of lab devices myself, so I can't say I'm not helping finding the bugs.

Hithead - why in the world are you using IE though? Is this some draconian thing at your work? Chrome or Firefox for PA all the way man...

Re: PANOS 6

Hithead — Wed, 22 Jan 2014 12:05:06 GMT

IE is our default browser at work... With FF it works.... And the same issue we had with the release of PANOS 5... nothing learned..?!

I hope you're correct on this one - the biggest complaint I have about 5.x is this slowdown when the genindex.sh process runs (every 5 minutes, not every 15) on the firewall.

I have graphs of the management CPU usage which show it going up and down, up and done, ad-infinitum every 5 minutes.

I'm not rushing out to install 6.0 (too much experience with the QA - or lack of it - on PA's .0 releases), but if 6.0.1 comes out I'll jump into it.

I see I'm not the only one with a healthy scepticism about PA's .0 releases, Eric. 🙂

darren.g yep, this whole thread is basically "preaching to the choir" for me
