Im installing a single Palo at present with the intent of adding a standby unit in the near future. My question is regarding the interface addresses on the standby unit.
What do i need to configure on the standby unit in regards to IP addressing apart from MGMT and HA interfaces? I cant see an option for standby IP addresses (like Cisco), so the question is do i need to configure addresses on the INSIDE/OUTSIDE interfaces on a standby unit, or will it just take the ACTIVE IP Addresses when needed?

You won't need to configure anything else on the standby device. Once it joins as an HA pair they are treated as a single device and the shared configuration elements are all inherited from the primary device. And you manage and do all the future configuration from the primary device once joined.

There are a few minor config elements that don't copy across but no need to wory about them too much.
the conifg should be set to auto-sync.

As @RobinClayton pointed out there are a few things that don't actually copy over in the HA sync process. That list can be found HERE
