Palo Alto High CPU Issue

Post by luiromer » Fri Apr 02, 2021 10:21 pm

hello Guys,

I have 2 Palo Alto Firewalls running in Workstation Player. However, everything I turn on these devices the CPU utilization reaches 95% or even 100% during the session.
I tried to find information on how to reduce CPU utilization but no luck yet. Any idea will be greatly appreciated!!

Palo devices itself require minimum x4 CPU and 6Gb ram
How much you had assigned for EVE VM CPU and RAM??

Sorry, but your PC cannot hold then such setup.
It has only x4 threads CPU. It is very weak for Palo lab
