Prisma Access Locations

Choose the Prisma Access locations you want to upgrade first.

Palo Alto Networks uses your preferences to begin the roll out to the first set of Prisma Access locations and the remaining locations, if any, will be upgraded seven days later based on the time preference you provided. Prisma Access Insights provides you with notifications that inform you of the progress of the upgrade and when it is complete, whether or not you select all locations or a subset of them.

After the first set of Prisma Access locations is upgraded successfully, the Prisma Access team monitors these locations for seven days, and then upgrades all remaining Prisma Access locations. The remaining Prisma Access locations are upgraded seven days later, on the same day and the same time window you selected for the initial set of locations. This upgrade process includes all the remaining locations in your deployment.

When upgrade preferences are available for a release, Prisma Access will notify you. Enable alerts to get notifications when an upgrade preference is available, and go to the Prisma Access app to submit your preferences:

Turn on alert notifications to get upgrade notifications delivered to your email inbox.

When a Prisma Access location upgrade is complete

Go to Prisma Access.

You’ll see a banner in the app that guides you to set upgrade preferences.

You’ll see an option to choose your upgrade time.

Choose your preferred upgrade time window from the selections available, along with a set of Prisma Access locations you want upgraded during this window.

After you’ve submitted your upgrade preferences, you’ll receive a Prisma Access notification confirming your preferences. You cannot change your upgrade preferences after you’ve submitted them.
