USB eject how to

Sec101 — Wed, 06 Sep 2017 19:06:22 GMT

How do I umount my USB stick from the palo once I'm done using it as a bootstrapper? I can bootstrap just fine from the box, but for whatever reason I'm failing to find documentation on how to successfully and safely remove the USB once I'm done. I want to make sure I don't nuke a known good formatted USB bootstrapper. Any ideas? I don't think there is a umount cmd on the box that I can see? Thanks for any feedback.

@Sec101,

Once the bootstrap is done and you've booted into PAN-os I've always just yanked it out, not sure if that's the right process but I've never had any ill-effects because of it.

that is what i was worried about- the illl effects. Worried I'm going to nuke that thing some day and not know it, and give it to someone to deploy and watch it not work.
