High CPU usage of Panorama

Hi,Our Panorama is running on a dual quad-core 2.66GHz + 4GB RAM + VMServer 2.0. We have a PA4020 appliance which has a persistent session count of roughly 250000 sessions.

PA-500 Management NIC Dead?

Always seems to happen out of hours but... the management NIC on our PA-500 seems to have dropped off the face of the earth.I can't ping it, I can't SSH/Telnet to it, nor can I get to the web GUI.Fortunately the PAN does still appear to be passing traffic, but assuming there's no dead daemon/service that will automatically restart at some point...
