How to determine memory in PA-500

AMacaronis — Thu, 29 Jan 2015 03:15:24 GMT

We recently bought a PA500, and we've been annoyed at how slow it is to commit its config. We mentioned this to our SE the other day, and he explained that there was a memory upgrade available.

We're not sure if we have 1GB or 2GB of memory, and I'd like to find out - can anyone explain how to tell if we have the upgrade?

Thanks

Hello AMacaronis,

Please apply below mentioned CLI command to identify the memory on your PAN-500 firewall.

Example: PA-500 with 2 GB RAM on the management-plane:

admin@PA-500> show system resources

Mem: 2028576k total >>>>>>>>> It's a 2 GB Memory , 1193104k used,

Swap: 2008084k total, 0k used

Hope this helps.

Thanks

I ran the command... the relevant lines are

Mem: 1970840k total, 1920376k used, 50464k free, 68824k buffers

Swap: 2008084k total, 165980k used, 1842104k free, 340936k cached

So should I take that to mean we have a 2GB upgrade already?

You are absolutely correct.
