Trying to use the PANOS KVM qcow2 images from the support portal.

The only one of these that gave me a working CLI was 9.1.14-h4, and actually looked like everything was ok, but putting at IP on the management interface and committing it never changed the interface.

3084582912 Apr 10 12:19 PA-VM-KVM-9.1.14-h4.qcow2 <- see above
3614441472 Apr 10 12:20 PA-VM-KVM-10.0.10.qcow2 <- Same as 9.1.4-h4, commits go with out error, but no interface changes.

I am not making any changed from the default settings page spinning these nodes up. Am I missing some setting that might be needed for the hardware I have?

on a lark I tried under 9.1.14-h4 to set etherenet1/1 and give it a virtual router and zone. That configuration works. I was able to connect that interface to my cloud management network, and ping 8.8.8.8 on the internet. But I cannot use my Management interface..

OK, found my issue with 3 of the 4. 10.2.2 will not work as far as I can tell.

The others that let me commit were simply a matter of disabling DHCP Client on the management interface.. I am so used to using physical firewalls where I do most of the config in the gui from a laptop on the default 192.168.1.1 IP that I had never set one CLI that was set to DHCP.

Just tested all your versions, and works w/o issues

Just set x4 CPU and 8192M RAM
Qemu options line added -cpu host at the end; Qemu version 5.2.0

Even version 11.0.0 is ok

All versions management interface has DHCP enabled, so no issues here at all
