To
maintain traffic flow while using vMotion to move your VM-Series
firewall between ESXi hosts with homogeneous CPU configurations
in VMware NSX-T, you must use the PAN-OS CLI to pause the internal
heartbeat monitoring of the VM-Series firewall during vMotion. You
can specify the amount of time, in minutes, that heartbeat monitoring
is paused. Heartbeat monitoring can be paused for up to 60 minutes.
When the pause interval expires or you deliberately end the pause
interval, heartbeat monitoring resumes.
vMotion of the VM-Series
firewall is supported on vSphere 6.5, 6.7, and 7.0 if the ESXi hosts
have homogeneous CPU configuration.
