You can create and deploy multiple instances—standalone or as an HA pair—of the VM-Series firewall on your Cisco CSP.

The VM-Series firewall has the following requirements:

See the Compatibility Matrix for supported versions of CSP and PAN-OS.
Bootstrap Package converted to a ISO file
See VM-Series System Requirements for the minimum hardware requirements for your VM-Series model.
Minimum of two network interfaces (vNICs). One is a dedicated vNIC for the management interface and one is for the data interface. You can then add up to eight more vNICs for data traffic.
The VM-Series firewall on Cisco CSP supports all VM-Series models except the VM-50.
SR-IOV and packet MMAP mode only; DPDK is not supported.
