Review the known issues in the VM-Series Plugin 2.1.4.
The following list describes known issues in the VM-Series Plugin 2.1.4.

PLUG-9667

If you set the number of dataplane cores higher than the number of cores supported by the VM-Series firewall, and you then increase the total number of cores and set the cores, the number of dataplane cores return to the default ratio (3 dataplane to 1 management plane) after reboot.
Workaround: After setting the number cores and rebooting the firewall, you must reset the number of dataplane cores.

PLUG-9638

When setting the number of cores using the init-cfg.txt file for bootstrapping along with authcodes, the VM-Series firewall does not get the serial number and displays incorrect vm-license although the firewall comes up with required amount of cores.
Workaround: Do not include both an authcode and the set cores op command in an init-cfg.txt file. Instead, bootstrap with an authcode and manually set the cores using the CLI or set the cores in the init-cfg.txt file and apply the authcode manually.

PLUG-4179

When you bootstrap the VM-Series firewall with dhcp-accept-server-hostname=yes in the init-cfg.txt file, then subsequently update the hostname for the VM-Series firewall, the hostname does not update in the <namespace>_dimension CloudWatch metrics.
Workaround: To change the hostname after boot up, use one of the following methods to prevent the firewall from accepting the hostname sent by the DHCP server:
  • CLI command: dhcp-accept-server-hostname=no
  • init-cfg.txt file: Remove dhcp-accept-server-hostname=yes, or set dhcp-accept-server-hostname=no.
