To maintain traffic flow while using vMotion
to move your VM-Series firewall on VMware ESXi between ESXi hosts
with homogeneous CPU configurations, 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.
