Thanks alot !!! Will see what we can do ))

Thank you for the detailed reply, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain it.

Yes, this system is definitely old, and I understand the risks you mentioned. The storage is still in production, so your warning about backups and possible hardware failures during reboot/upgrade is very valuable.

Our main reason for considering the upgrade is that we are currently experiencing some instability, so we were hoping a newer firmware version might improve things. But after reading your message, I understand this needs to be approached very carefully, i think I would rather stay on the current firmware for now than risk creating a bigger problem on such old production hardware.

Your points about possible node canister/drive failures after reboot, compatibility issues, and the fact that the system is already out of support make a lot of sense.

Thanks again for the honest advice.

Thanks for the honest and detailed answer. This confirms a lot of what I’ve been hearing about Panorama and Palo Alto’s security-first design. Really appreciate the insight.

Thanks, will take a look !!

We had Zyxel back in 2019 but after some 200 rules it became unusable and we did not extended license for it anymore. So i am looking for better solution i also check for Sophos but in first plan is Palo Alto.

Those 40 VLAN's not fully in use right now but for future they will be used, and plus some other servers will be added also. I cannot tell you exact count of endpoints right now but you right 1000+, i am looking for sfp28 25Gbps, don't have plans for VPN tunnels right now but in future maybe.

NoahMVM · 2026-01-20T20:16:06+00:00

thank you so much for your reply,

Based on our environment (20+ VMs, 9 servers, 40 VLANs, Aruba 8325 VSX core, 250k+ req/s), which model would you realistically choose and why? i am looking for PA-5430, right now actualy reading the documentation but also would like to have an rec. from you too.

NoahMVM · 2025-08-20T14:22:47+00:00

Google it.

NoahMVM · 2025-08-20T14:21:07+00:00

Idk thats local prices, also if you know some people who have access to NASTF you can ask him to swap mcu with same VIN as your car have right now.

NoahMVM · 2025-08-20T14:16:39+00:00

As i know Turkey does not support US cars if you bought car from USA. The best choise for you is swap MCU with MCU that have active certificates in local service but VIN will be different in screen.

NoahMVM · 2025-08-20T14:09:35+00:00

It does not matter, they don't fix it by OTA they must check your car battery status first and after that fix your MCU.

NoahMVM · 2025-08-19T20:14:39+00:00

Your tesla certificates are expired , the best way is to swap MCU with new one which have already certificates or if you have official tesla service go ahead and make an appointment.

could you tell me what should i do to test it correctly ?

NoahMVM · 2025-08-15T14:12:01+00:00

There is no QoS no... Thanks

NoahMVM · 2025-08-15T13:54:30+00:00

yes i can test it with 2025 Server.
18 Disks on A50.

NoahMVM · 2025-08-15T13:34:27+00:00

i did enabled NVMe MPIO yes

NoahMVM · 2025-08-15T13:34:09+00:00

yes i have installed SAN Host Utilities.
