Hello Ifter I did upgrade I realised that BrightCloud filtering doesnt works. So I opened case and support found that this is problem with memory!!! The problem with activation of BrightCloud is due to the fact that commit cannot successfully complete. This is due to the device running out of memory. Error seen:
Error: pan_sys_system_int(pan_sys.c:563): fork() failed! errno=12
The cause of issue is that with PAN-OS 8.0., there was an increase in the memory footprint and since the PA-200 has low memory, the increase in memory footprint leads to memory depletion and hence affects tasks such as commits.
At the moment, for PA-200, no workaround exists short of downgrading to 7.1.x.
This issue is tracked under PAN-81100 and the fix is targeted for 8.0.6. PA200 according to show system resources has Mem: 2506368k total, PA500 Mem: 1966696k total, So Support advised me to revert back to 7.1.x code, but what about the future? Is old models (PA200, PA500) will not able to has 8.0 code with reasonalbe commit time and usability? Why PA doesn't allow us to upgrade memory modules? RAM is cheap lets complain about it? Why PA doesn't exchange such devices after ie. 4-5 years of using it and paying for support and maitenance like others vendors do? Why in PA 8.0 tech doc there isn't RED MARK - do NOT upgrade to 8.0 on PA200, there is only info that it could took from 30-60min. In my case it took 20min like usually. I hope that someone from PaloAlto will read this topic I'm really disappointed about PaloAlto Regards SLawek
