When you deploy a Panorama 8.1.2 virtual appliance, Panorama is unable to connect to the Logging Service and firewalls are unable to forward logs to the Logging Service.
If you upgrade a Panorama virtual appliance with Logging Service enabled to PAN-OS 8.1.2, both Panorama and the firewalls will continue to connect to the Logging Service but will not display information about Logging Services instances when you run the
request logging-service-forwarding customer info fetch
CLI command.

Active/active
(in this example, the primary/secondary peers are firewall1/firewall2)—During the period after you upgrade firewall1 to PAN-OS 8.1 but before you upgrade firewall2, firewall1 loses user mapping information. When you finish upgrading both firewalls to PAN-OS 8.1, HA synchronization restores the lost mapping information on firewall1.
Active/passive
(in this example, the active/passive peers are firewall1/firewall2)—After you upgrade firewall2 to PAN-OS 8.1 but before you upgrade firewall1, firewall2 loses user mapping information but does not enforce policies because it is still in a passive state. However, after you trigger failover by suspending firewall1 (in anticipation of upgrading it), firewall2 becomes the active peer and fails to enforce user-based policies because its mapping information is still missing. After you then upgrade firewall1 and trigger failback, firewall1 resumes enforcing policy and HA synchronization ensures the mapping information is complete on both firewalls.

The firewalls hardcode the maximum segment size (TCP MSS) within TCP SYN packets and in server-to-client traffic at 1,460 bytes when packets exceed that size.
PA-7000 Series and PA-5200 Series firewalls hardcode the maximum transmission unit (MTU) at 1,500 bytes for the encapsulation stage when tunneled clear-text traffic and the originating tunnel session reside on different dataplanes.

You did not configure a worker list to add at least one worker node to the cluster. (In a two-node cluster, both nodes are controller nodes configured as an HA pair. Adding a worker node would make the cluster a three-node cluster.)
You did not configure a service advertisement (either by enabling or not enabling advertising DNS service on the controller nodes).

After you import the two-node cluster into Panorama, push the configuration from Panorama to the cluster. After the push succeeds, Panorama reports that the controller nodes are in sync.
Configure a worker list on the cluster controller:
admin@wf500(active-controller)# 
set deviceconfig
cluster mode controller worker-list 
 <worker-ip-address> 
(
<worker-ip-address>
is the IP address of the worker node you are adding to the cluster.) This creates a three-node cluster. After you import the cluster into Panorama, Panorama reports that the controller nodes are in sync. When you want the cluster to have only two nodes, use a different workaround.
Configure service advertisement on the local CLI of the cluster controller and then import the configuration into Panorama. The service advertisement can advertise that DNS is or is not enabled.
admin@wf500(active-controller)# 
set deviceconfig
cluster mode controller service-advertisement dns-service enabled
yes
or
admin@wf500(active-controller)# 
set deviceconfig
cluster mode controller service-advertisement

dns-service enabled no
Both commands result in Panorama reporting that the controller nodes are in sync.
