Enable, Pause, Disable, and Uninstall the CloudBlade

Lets see how to Enable, Pause, Disable, and Uninstall the Zscaler CloudBlade in Prisma SD-WAN.
After the CloudBlade is set up, operations can be done using the CloudBlade panel. These operations have various effects on the tunnels and configurations in Prisma SD-WAN and Zscaler.
  • Set the CloudBlade to Enabled
    Enabled is the standard expected mode of operation for the CloudBlade. The CloudBlade will run every 60 seconds, find any new Sites or Circuits with the appropriate tags, and configure the integration on Zscaler and Prisma SD-WAN. In addition, during this integration run, if any settings were previously modified manually on either Prisma SD-WAN or Zscaler (for example VPN credentials changed, or Location deleted in Zscaler), these will be reverted to the known good state automatically.
  • Set the CloudBlade to Paused
    Pausing the CloudBlade stops all future integration runs, but leaves any created objects intact. This stops any future objects from getting created but does NOT prevent removal of any unconfigured/untagged objects on either Prisma SD-WAN or Zscaler.
  • Set the CloudBlade to Disabled
    Disabling the CloudBlade tells the system to remove and delete all configurations created by the CloudBlade. This can cause communication interruptions if the policy isn’t set to use other paths. The IPSec policies, IKE policies, and Prisma SD-WAN Endpoints and Service and DC groups aren’t automatically deleted and must be removed manually.
  • Uninstalling the CloudBlade
    Uninstalling the CloudBlade removes the configuration for the CloudBlade, and immediately stops any changes by the CloudBlade. Uninstalling the CloudBlade doesn’t automatically remove configuration from all sites and objects. The CloudBlade may be uninstalled and reinstalled to facilitate upgrades or downgrades to different versions without traffic interruption. To completely remove all items, set the CloudBlade to Disabled for 2-3 integration run periods (180 seconds) before uninstalling the CloudBlade.
