Want to upgrade only Panorama to panos 9.0

[Deepak_K]

In PAN OS 9.0 multiple URL category feature is added(high, medium and low risk category).

Is there any issue if we only upgrade panorama to 9.0 and not a managed firewalls ?

We should not face configuration or commit issue as panorama and firewall will be on different platform.

Hello @Deepak_K 

You are able to manage firewalls running 8.1 if panorama is on 9.0. But you will not get the benefit of the new url categories (... risk) unless you have upgraded the firewalls to 9.0 as well.
