Deploying via the command-line interface provides the highest precision and repeatability.
Before deploying the .qcow2 image, ensure your virtual environment meets the minimum requirements for a Panorama virtual appliance: CPU: At least 4 vCPUs (8+ recommended for production). RAM: 16 GB minimum (32 GB recommended). Storage: 2 Disks required. Base System Disk (The 10.0.4.qcow2 image). Logging Disk (1 TB - 4 TB recommended based on traffic). Network Interface: At least one NIC (Management interface). Hypervisor: KVM (QEMU 2.x or later). License: A valid license from Palo Alto Networks. Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Use an SFTP tool like FileZilla or WinSCP to move your downloaded Panorama-KVM-10.0.4.qcow2 file into that new directory. Change into the directory and alter the primary hard disk name to virtioa.qcow2 so the QEMU emulator recognizes it: panorama-kvm-10.0.4.qcow2
Running Panorama in a virtualized framework demands significant system resources. While production environments require strict resource allocations to handle high logging volumes, a lab deployment can operate with lower resources. Resource Component Minimum Requirement (Management Only) Minimum Requirement (Panorama Mode) 8 to 16 vCPUs System Memory (RAM) 32 GB to 64 GB RAM Primary Storage (System) 81 GB (Built-in via QCOW2) 81 GB (Built-in via QCOW2) Secondary Storage (Logging) None required 2 TB minimum recommended (Production)
