QCOW2 files are typically smaller than raw files initially, growing only as data is added.
For Red Hat OpenShift environments:
: Download the KVM base image (e.g., Panorama-KVM-10.1.0.qcow2 ) from the Palo Alto Networks Support Portal under Updates > Software Updates .
For organizations utilizing automation (Ansible, Terraform, or direct API integration), 10.0.4 includes API refinements that reduce errors during bulk configuration changes. 3. Why Use the QCOW2 Format?
Panorama requires a separate virtual disk to store system and traffic logs. Create a secondary QCOW2 disk with a minimum capacity of 224 GB. | Scenario | Action | | :--- | :--- | | | Do NOT use
