To simplify the HA setup, configure the Panorama
appliances in HA after purchasing Strata Logging Service and associate
the serial number of the primary Panorama appliance on which you
plan to install the Cloud Services plugin with the Strata Logging Service
auth code, but before you Activate Strata Logging Service. However, you
can also use this process to configure existing Panorama appliances.
Whether
you are just getting started with a new pair of Panorama appliances,
or you have already set up your standalone Panorama appliance and
completed the licensing and installation procedures, make sure to
check the prerequisites before you enable HA:
The Panorama appliance peers must be of the same form factor (hardware appliances of the same
model or identical virtual appliances) and same OS version and must have
the same set of licenses. Strata Logging Service requires a valid support
license.
The serial number of the primary Panorama appliance is tied
to your Strata Logging Service auth code. If you have installed and set
up the plugin on a standalone Panorama appliance, ensure that you
use that Panorama appliance as the primary peer. If you need to
assign this standalone peer as the secondary Panorama appliance,
contact Palo Alto Networks support for assistance with transferring
the license to the primary Panorama appliance peer before you continue.
