Hi Expert ,
I have some issues about I test the PA Vm-Series on Hyper-V including on My laptop
However, I found an issue about the console showing PA-HDF longer time I understood that may be the initial boot but I waited more than 1 hour on another guest's VM, and not PA is working properly please help me check.
Thank you

Hi @pattarachaiKH ,
I have experienced the same problem and I don't believe there is a solution.
The workaround I did recently was to run GNS3 VM in Hyper-V and run PAN VM-Series inside GNS3 as KVM/Qemu.

I have the same issue. It used to work fine with Windows 10, but I could not make it work on Windows 11 so far.
Checking the logs I read in md_out.log

This is the powershell script I'm using to create the VM

Get-VM $name | Disable-VMIntegrationService -Name "Time Synchronization"
Get-VM $name | Disable-VMIntegrationService -Name "Key-Value Pair Exchange"

if anyone could confirm it's possible to create a vm-series VM on Hyper-V on Windows 11 that would be great... until then I'll stop trying.
EDIT: I think I managed to make it work in my crash and burn lab with a hack. Attach the vhdx (PA-VM-HPV-11.1.4.vhdx in my case) to a Linux VM, mount the second partition (an ext4 partition with label sysroot0) and create an env file under the existing etc folder under it:
mkdir /mnt/2
mount /dev/disk/by-label/sysroot0 /mnt/2
echo "MY_POD_UID=42" > /mnt/2/etc/env
umount /mnt/2
then detach the disk. After that the Palo Alto VM boots fine. The VM UUID is 42 and the CPU ID is HPV:81d0c6e83f02732.
