Upgrade/Downgrade Considerations for Firewalls and Appliances
Upgrade/downgrade considerations for firewalls and appliances.
The following table lists all hardware features that have upgrade or downgrade
impact. Make sure you understand all upgrade/downgrade considerations before you
upgrade or downgrade from the specified version of PAN-OS.
| Feature | Release | Upgrade Considerations | Downgrade Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| PA-7000 Log Forwarding Card (LFC) | 10.0 | If you are using an LFC with a PA-7000 Series
Firewall, when you upgrade to PAN-OS 10.0, you must configure the management
plane or dataplane interface for the service route because the LFC
ports do not support the requirements for the service route. We recommend
using the dataplane interface for the Data Services service route. | n/a |
| Upgrading a PA-7000 Series Firewall with a first generation switch management card (PA-7050-SMC or PA-7080-SMC) | PAN-OS 8.0 and later | Before upgrading the firewall, run the following
CLI command to check the flash drive’s status: debug system disk-smart-info disk-1. If
the value for attribute ID #232, Available_Reservd_Space 0x0000,
is greater than 20, then proceed with the upgrade. If the value
is less than 20, then contact support for assistance. | Before downgrading the firewall, run the
following CLI command to check the flash drive’s status: debug system disk-smart-info disk-1. If
the value for attribute ID #232, Available_Reservd_Space 0x0000,
is greater than 20, then proceed with the downgrade. If the value
