Upgrade Considerations for Panorama Managed Prisma Access (4.0 Preferred)

If you're using Panorama to manage Prisma Access, here's what to consider when upgrading to Prisma Access 4.0.
Where Can I Use This?
What Do I Need?
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama)
  • Minimum Required Prisma Access Version
    4.0 Preferred
An infrastructure and dataplane upgrade is required for all upgrades from an existing Panorama Managed Prisma Access version to 4.0 Preferred, including if you are upgrading from 3.2 Innovation or 3.2.1 Innovation to 4.0 Preferred. After you download and install the Cloud Services plugin 4.0, you receive all supported features in Prisma Access to date, including all previous Innovation and Preferred features along with the new features introduced in 4.0 Preferred. If you are running a Prisma Access (Panorama Managed) deployment, Palo Alto Networks will make the Cloud Services plugin 4.0 available for you to download and install after Palo Alto Networks upgrades your dataplane.
The Cloud Services plugin version 4.0 supports 10.0.8 and 10.1.3-based Prisma Access dataplane versions; however, not all new features in the plugin are supported until your dataplane has been upgraded to PAN-OS version 10.2.4.
To upgrade your Cloud Services plugin to Prisma Access 4.0 Preferred, use one of the following upgrade paths. To find your current plugin version in Panorama, select
Panorama
Cloud Services
Configuration
Service Setup
and check the plugin version in the
Plugin Alert
area.
Be sure to follow the minimum Panorama versions for each plugin version during the upgrade (for example, only Cloud Services plugin versions 4.0, 3.2, and 3.1.0-h50 or later support a Panorama running 10.2.3 or later, and you should not upgrade your Panorama to PAN-OS 10.2.3 until after you upgrade your Cloud Services plugin to these minimum versions).
