    Upgrade Considerations for Panorama Managed Prisma Access

    If you're using Panorama to manage Prisma Access, here's what to consider when upgrading to Prisma Access 5.1.
    Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
    • Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama)
    • Prisma Access license
    • Minimum Required Prisma Access Version 5.1 Preferred or Innovation
    Palo Alto Networks will perform an infrastructure upgrade for 5.1 Preferred. Optionally, you can choose to upgrade your dataplane to 11.2 to unlock the 5.1 Innovation features. The 5.1 release uses the 5.1 Cloud Services plugin. After you download and install the Cloud Services plugin 5.1, you receive all 5.1 Preferred features and all other Prisma Access features to date, including all previous Innovation and Preferred features; however, a dataplane upgrade to PAN-OS 11.2 is required to unlock the 5.1 Innovation features.
    To upgrade your Cloud Services plugin to Prisma Access 5.1, use one of the following upgrade paths. To find your current plugin version in Panorama, select PanoramaCloud ServicesConfigurationService 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.
