The Panorama plugin for GCP is required if you want to use Panorama to manage VM
Monitoring or auto scaling deployments created with Palo Alto Networks templates.
Install the plugin version that supports the GCP features you want to configure, as
detailed in the Compatibility Matrix table for
Public Clouds.
You can't upgrade the Panorama plugin for GCP from version 1.0.0 to version
2.0.x. If you have installed version 1.0.0, remove it before installing
2.0.x.
If you have a standalone Panorama or two Panorama appliances installed in an HA pair
with multiple plugins installed, the plugins might not receive updated IP-tag
information if one or more of the plugins isn't configured. This occurs because
Panorama won't forward IP-tag information to unconfigured plugins. Additionally,
this issue can occur if one or more of the Panorama plugins isn't in the Registered
or Success state (positive state differs on each plugin). Ensure that your plugins
are in the positive state before continuing or executing the commands described
below.
If you encounter this issue, there are two workarounds:
Uninstall the unconfigured plugin or plugins. It's recommended that you don't
install a plugin that you don't plan to configure right away
You can use the following commands to work around this issue. Execute the
following command for each unconfigured plugin on each Panorama instance to
prevent Panorama from waiting to send updates. If you don't, your firewalls
might lose some IP-tag information.
request plugins dau
plugin-name <plugin-name> unblock-device-push yesYou can
cancel this command by executing:
request plugins dau
plugin-name <plugin-name> unblock-device-push no
The commands described are not persistent across reboots and must be used again for
any subsequent reboots. For Panorama in HA pair, the commands must be executed on
each Panorama.
