Configure a Cluster Centrally on Panorama
Before you configure a WildFire appliance cluster on
a Panorama M-Series or virtual appliance, have two WildFire appliances
available to configure as a high availability controller node pair
and any additional WildFire appliances needed to serve as worker
nodes to increase the analysis, storage capacity, and resiliency
of the cluster.
If the WildFire appliances are new, check Get Started with WildFire to
ensure that you complete basic steps such as confirming your WildFire
license is active, enabling logging, connecting firewalls to WildFire
appliances, and configuring basic WildFire features.
To create WildFire appliance clusters, you must upgrade all of the WildFire appliances that
you want to place in a cluster to PAN-OS 8.0.1 or later. If you
use Panorama to manage WildFire appliance clusters, Panorama also
must run PAN-OS 8.0.1 or later. On each WildFire appliance that
you want to add to a cluster, run show system info | match version on
the WildFire appliance CLI to ensure that the appliance is running
PAN-OS 8.0.1 or later. On each Panorama appliance you use to manage
clusters (or standalone appliances), DashboardGeneral InformationSoftware Version displays the
running software version.
When your WildFire appliances are available, perform the appropriate
tasks:
- Configure a Cluster and Add Nodes on Panorama
- Configure General Cluster Settings on Panorama
- Remove a Cluster from Panorama Management
Removing a node from a cluster using Panorama is not supported.
Instead, Remove
a Node from a Cluster Locally using the local WildFire CLI.
