Installation Prerequisites
Before you begin your installation and activation,
make sure that you have the following information and resources:
- Be sure that you have the order fulfillment email that contains the activation links that are required to activate Prisma Access.
- Be sure that you have configured a DNS server and NTP server on. If you do not configure a DNS and NTP server, you cannot verify your account and will have to reinstall the plugin.PanoramaSetupServices
- If you will use an existing Panorama to manage Prisma Access, be sure you that the Panorama on which you will install the Cloud Services plugin (which activates Prisma Access) is running the minimum Panorama version.During product activation, you can select an existing Panorama to manage Prisma Access, if you have registered Panorama, installed the licenses, and activated the support license on the Customer Support Portal (CSP). If you have added the Panorama serial number to the same CSP account on which you want to deploy Prisma Access, you can select the serial number of this Panorama appliance during installation.Alternatively, if you have a licensed Panorama that you have not yet installed, you can select that Panorama during product activation; the installation process provides you with links to register and install Panorama. In either case, the activation process allows the Panorama appliance you select to manage Prisma Access, and you must make sure that the Panorama appliance is running the minimum software version.For a list of the Panorama software versions that are supported with Prisma Access, see Minimum Required Panorama Software Versions in the Palo Alto Networks Compatibility Matrix.Make a note of the serial number of the Panorama appliance; you use that serial number in a later step.
