In debug reboot mode panorama ignores this error and continues booting up without this ESX specific service.</P> Sat, 14 Apr 2018 09:23:40 GMT Remo 2018-04-14T09:23:40Z https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-topics/panorama-vm-7-1-0-difference-between-debug-reboot-and-reboot/m-p/210159#M61401 <P>If you go into maintenance mode you have two options "debug reboot" and "reboot."<BR /><BR />What are the differences between these two boot modes as they both seem to do the same thing and get me back to the panorama login.</P> Fri, 13 Apr 2018 23:35:02 GMT https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-topics/panorama-vm-7-1-0-difference-between-debug-reboot-and-reboot/m-p/210159#M61401 guerriero33t 2018-04-13T23:35:02Z https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-topics/panorama-vm-7-1-0-difference-between-debug-reboot-and-reboot/m-p/210181#M61404 <P>Debug reboot is for troubleshooting boot problems.
