Increased Device Management Capacity Requirements

Table of Contents

You can manage up to 5,000 firewalls using a single M-600 appliance in Management Only mode or manage up to 2,500
firewalls using a single Panorama virtual appliance in Management Only mode. Managing such large deployments from a
single Panorama management server alleviates the operational complexity of configuration management and reduces the
security and compliance risk of managing multiple Panorama management servers. For details about the maximum number of
template stacks that Panorama supports, see Template Stacks (https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-1/pan-os-
web-interface-help/panorama-web-interface/panorama-templates/template-stacks).

For log collection, a single Panorama management server is ideal because it provides a centralized location to view and
analyze log data from managed devices rather than requiring you to access each individual Panorama management server. To
provide redundancy in the event of system or network failure, Palo Alto Networks recommends deploying two Panorama
management servers in a high availability (HA) configuration. For Panorama system and config logs, an additional disk with a
minimum 92GB capacity is required. This additional disk is automatically detected by the Panorama virtual appliance when
Panorama is rebooted and mounted as a partition for system and config log storage.

For generating pre-defined reports (https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-1/pan-os-admin/monitoring/view-and-

manage-reports/report-types), you must enable Panorama to use Panorama data for pre-defined reports. This generates pre-
defined reports using log data already collected by Panorama or the Dedicated Log Collector, which reduces the resource
utilization when generating reports. Enabling this setting is required, otherwise Panorama performance may be impacted, and
x
Panorama may become unresponsive. Thanks for visiting
