PAN-OS 9.0 introduced significant SD-WAN capabilities, allowing the VM-Series to act as a secure branch office router, terminating VPNs and managing path selection based on application performance. Deployment Requirements Based on filename analysis and PAN-OS lifecycle data

Working with QCOW2 images is generally smooth, but users occasionally encounter a few common issues. In Proxmox, you might see the error: format 'qcow2' is not supported by the target storage - using 'raw' instead. This occurs because ZFS storage typically does not support QCOW2 overlays. The system will automatically convert the image to a RAW format, which is the expected behavior. Some EVE-NG users have also reported that certain PAN-OS versions can be particular about having a functional CLI and committing network interface changes after the VM boots. If you experience this, trying a slightly newer or older version of the image may help. Why Use PAN-OS 9
