Panorama High Availability (HA) Support

Prisma Access for Networks (Panorama Managed) CloudBlade integration with an existing Panorama HA pair.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
Supported CloudBlade:
  • Prisma Access for Networks (Managed by Panorama)
  • Prisma SD-WAN License
  • Prisma Access License
  • Supported Cloud Plugin Versions
  • Prisma Access for Networks (Managed by Panorama) CloudBlade versions 3.x.x and later
To enable the Prisma Access for Networks (managed by Panorama) CloudBlade integration with an existing Panorama HA pair, make sure you meet the following criteria:
  • Set up the Panorama HA pair and save the serial numbers of both the Panorama instances.
  • Install the Prisma SD-WAN authorization key on both Panorama instances.
  • The CSP version running on both the Panorama instances must be identical.

Configure the CloudBlade HA Panorama Pair

To configure the Prisma SD-WAN integration on a Panorama HA pair, enable the active Panorama to register itself. The CloudBlade must indicate a successful integration on the CloudBlade configuration screen. After successful registration, enable the Prisma SD-WAN integration on the passive Panorama instance.
The serial numbers can be in any order. Make sure to avoid whitespaces between serial numbers.

Handle Failover Events

The Prisma SD-WAN integration with Panorama HA pair enabled can have the following scenarios:
  • The Prisma Access for Networks (Managed by Panorama) CloudBlade issues commands (makes changes) only on an active Panorama instance.
  • The CloudBlade accepts the Panorama passive instance after the Panorama active instance shows no activity for 10 minutes.
  • The CloudBlade rewrites any unsynced changes from the active to passive instances, after a failover on a Panorama pair.
  • The Panorama instances' serial numbers can be changed at any time.
  • If you're moving from a HA Panorama to a Non-HA setup, update the serial number from the CloudBlade configuration screen by entering the correct Panorama serial number.
