VM-Series firewall on VirtualBox

L1 Bithead

Hi,

I know that VM-Series firewall requires VMware ESXi running vSphere 4.1 or 5.0.

But I don't have VMware right now on my laptop and only I have is Oracle VirtualBox 4.2.6 - just for tests and presentations (not for commercial purpose)

On VirtualBox I've already imported vmdk file  but when I launch PA-VM I see: 'Welcome to the PanOS Bootloader. Hit any key to stop autoboot...' and nothing happens.

Does anyone knows how to run VM-Series firewall on VirtualBox?

Thanks for the hint! Adding a virtual serial port has cut down boot times dramatically!

Hi, i also have this issue, able to share more details on the serial port that you add to speed up the boot up?

Not really. I added a serial port with default values in the virtualbox UI. That was all.
