Install the VM-Series Firewall with Service Chaining or Scaling

Complete the following steps to prepare the heat templates, bootstrap files, and software images needed to deploy the VM-Series firewall. After preparing the files, deploy the VM-Series firewall service and two Linux servers.
Deploying the VM-Series firewall through service chaining or service scaling is not supported on OpenStack Queens.
  1. Download the Heat template and bootstrap files.
    Download the Heat template package from the GitHub repository.
  2. Download the VM-Series base image.
    1. Select
      Software Updates
      and choose
      PAN-OS for VM-Series KVM Base Images
      from the
      Filter By
      drop-down.
    2. Download the VM-Series for KVM
      qcow2
      file.
  3. Download Ubuntu 14.04 and upload the image to the OpenStack controller.
    For service chaining, you can use the default image provided by OpenStack called TestVM. Skip this step when using TestVM. An Ubuntu image is required for service scaling.
    1. Download Ubuntu 14.04.
    2. Log in to the Horizon UI.
    3. Select
      Project
      Compute
      Images
      Create Image
      .
    4. Name
      the image Ubuntu 14.04 to match the parameter in the pan_basic_gw_env.yaml file.
    5. Set Image Source to
      Image File
      .
    6. Click
      Choose File
      and navigate to your Ubuntu image file.
    7. Set the Format to match the file format of your Ubuntu image.
    8. Click
      Create Image
      .
    A server key is required when using an Ubuntu image. Ensure that the server key is added to the environment file.
  4. Upload the VM-Series for KVM base image to the OpenStack controller.
    1. Log in to the Horizon UI.
    2. Select
      Project
      Compute
      Images
      Create Image
      .
    3. Name
      the image to match the image name in your Heat template.
    4. Set Image Source to
      Image File
      .
    5. Click
      Choose File
      and navigate to your VM-Series image file.
    6. Set the Format to
      QCOW2-QEMU Emulator
      .
    7. Click
      Create Image
      .
  5. Upload the bootstrap files. The files must be uploaded to the folder structure described here. The heat template uses this folder structure to locate the bootstrap files.
    1. Log in to your OpenStack controller.
    2. Create the following folder structure:
      /root/bootstrap/config/
      /root/bootstrap/license/
    3. Using SCP or FTP, add the init-cfg.txt and bootstrap.xml files to the config folder and add your VM-Series auth codes to the license folder.
  6. Edit the template environment file to suit your environment. Verify that the image names in the environment file match the names you gave the files when you uploaded them.

  7. Edit the template files to point to the bootstrap files and auth codes. Under Personality, specify the file path to the location of your files. Uncomment whichever lines you are not using.

  8. Upload the heat template files.
    1. Log in to your OpenStack Controller.
    2. Use SCP or FTP to add the heat template file and environment file.
  9. Deploy the Heat template.
    1. Execute the command
      source openrc
    2. Execute the command
      heat stack-create
      <stack-name>
      -f
      <template>
      -e ./
      <env-template>
  10. Verify that your VM-Series firewall is deployed successfully.
    You can use the following commands to check the creation status of the stack.
    • Check the stack status with
      heat stack-list
    • View a detailed list of events that occurred during stack creation with
      heat event-list
    • View details about your stack with
      heat stack-show
  11. Verify that the VM-Series firewall is bidirectionally inspecting traffic between the Linux servers.
    1. Log in to the firewall.
    2. Select
      Monitor
      Logs
      Traffic
      to view the SSH session.
