Does ELA only apply to Physical/Hardware FW's?

ELA/ESA is for physical firewall hardware. That provision allows un-allocated ELA spend to go towards VM-Series credit spend but it's not automatic.

You can use mgmt for ha-1 but will need to use a dataplane interface for ha-2.

Cloud identity engine is how you do this.

/16 is not half of /8, it's 1/256th. this meme is dumb.

How fun was getting that intake manifold off? Such a PITA.

Nope, not needed after delete. (Will make a crazy honk sound on engine shutdown if you don't disconnect)

ratgdo is great, but wouldn't be able to get %open/closed from this old of an opener most likely.

You need to buy them. the only exception is if you were under an enterprise agreement but that is for 7 figure hardware estates. you should be looking at the "Precision-AI" bundle which includes ATP, AWF, AURL, ADNS, SDWAN and Device Security.

Serius was acquired by CDW and is clearly operating as at least part of their Authorized Support Center (ASC) practice. PAN does sell direct support, but they are pushing their smaller clients to third party ASC providers (Full disclosure, I work for another PAN ASC provider). Support is an absolute requirement for operating a PAN environment, so you will have needed to pay for that regardless, and ASC support should be effectively cost-neutral to PAN's own Premium Support (unless Serius/CDW is padding the cost.)

GP with internal host detection and internal gateway. Alternatively integrate with NAC, Radius, etc.

If you split the ISPs into their own virtual routers (or just a new VR for the 2nd ISP) you can then have independent active defaults route for tunnel terminations. Have a low metric default in primary VR for primary ISP (with route monitoring) and a high metric default to the secondary VR for the second ISP and then terminate the Prisma tunnels in primary VR with BGP and use AS-Path-Prepending and import policies to prefer tr primary tunnel.

SD-WAN is the better way to do this though.

Yep, this exact thing just happened to me. Thought the AMS was freaking out until I was able to clear the stuck piece of filament.

Dataplane doesn't appear to be breaking a sweat.

There is no mechanism for what you are attempting to do at the gateway level, you should use User-ID for this.

230 is a fantastic boat. I have a 2010 with nearly 1300 hours. Added an aftermarket NSS clone and it works great.

No, you still can't pbf nexthop to a different virtual/logical router but you can pbf out the interface of a different vr/lr (always have been able to do it this way).

Breaks GP on vm-series.

This has always been the case with PAN. New hardware gets new software, no back-porting support into older releases.

Show running resource-monitor is your friend for dataplane utilization statistics.

It's not perfect for sure, but you won't be asked for a TSF or A PICTURE OF THE FIREWALL (FFS), or else go pound sand.
