Determine the Upgrade Path to PAN-OS 8.0
When you upgrade from one PAN-OS feature release version
to a later feature release, you cannot skip the installation of
any feature release versions in the path to your target release
(for example, to get from a PAN-OS 7.0 release to PAN-OS 8.0, you
also need to install a PAN-OS 7.1 release version). In most cases,
the recommended path when moving from one feature release to the
next is to download the base image for the next feature release version
and then download and install your target maintenance release version.
You must have both the base image and the maintenance release image
on the firewall for installation to be successful. If the firewall
doesn’t have enough disk space to hold both the base image and the
maintenance release image, it will delete the base image and you
will see an error message when you attempt to install the maintenance
release. In this case, you need to re-download and install the base
image before you can download and install the maintenance release.
To minimize downtime for your users, perform upgrades during non-business
hours.
For manual upgrades, you must install the base
image for a feature release before you upload and install a maintenance
release image.
Determine the upgrade path as follows:
- Identify which version is currently installed.
