Starting
with PAN-OS 9.1.6, to maintain traffic flow while using vMotion
to move your VM-Series firewall between ESXi hosts 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.
