I have deployed and (eval) licensed three VM-100 w/ PAN-OS 11.1.4.-h7 on three different ESXi 8.0 servers in my lab environment. Unfortunately, I cannot get any of the VM's ethernet interfaces to come up. I have no issues with the management interfaces via ssh or https. All the ethernet interfaces are configured as layer 3 and are each part of a vSwitch/port group that another VM's virtual NICs are also part of. Using the exact same configuration, but with a PAN-OS 10.0.3 image has no issues and the ethernet interfaces come right up.
PA CLI Output:

Solution: Power off the VM and add the following 2 lines to the .vmx file:
vmxnet3.serialNumberV2 = FALSE
vmxnet3.rev.30 = FALSE

Hi @D.Wilk ,
What network adapter type did you set your data interfaces to ?

All the network adapters are VMXNET 3 w/ an automatic MAC.
