Important considerations for upgrading
your plugins
The plugin versions listed in the above
table are the only plugins that are compatible with PAN-OS 10.2.
If you use any other plugins, you should not upgrade to PAN-OS 10.2
until you upgrade all plugins to the minimum version.
Starting with PAN-OS 10.2, the VM-Series plugin is installed
by default. This option is currently available only in PAN OS 10.2,
which means that Panorama software requires that you download a
compatible version of the VM-Series plugin if you downgrade your
firewall from PAN-OS 10.2.
Each upgraded Panorama plugin supports both existing
firewalls and PAN OS 10.2 firewalls.
The VM-Series plugin is required only for Azure deployments
and not for any other Panorama plugins.

If you have a custom certificate
size greater than 32k, the auto commit (which happens after downgrade) will
fail. To avoid this, you can save the config file, add a dummy value
in the custom certificate which is less than 16K and then downgrade
to 2.0.x(k8s plugin cannot contact the API server). You can upgrade
the plugin to 2.1.x (after release) and use the 32k original certificate.
