In my next post I'll be focusing on the NSX and Palo Alto integration, and all the improvements this brings to the Micro Segmentation. For now, lets just focus on importing the Palo Alto Virtual FW VM (NSX Version) to the existing vSphere environment.
VMware Environment Details:
ESXi 6.0 on a Physical Host + 5 Nested ESXi 6 (deployed in my Demo Center, as explained here)
vSphere 6.0 Managing Compute and Management Clusters
Palo Alto 7.0.1, Model PAN-PA-VM-1000-HV-E60 (Features: Threat Prevention, BrightCloud, URL Filtering, PAN-DB URL Filtering, GlobalProtect Gateway, GlobalProtect Portal, PA-VM, Premium Support, WildFire License).
IMPORTANT: You will need to be a Palo Alto partner, as their permission is required in order to download their products.
What is OVFTool, and why did I need it?
OVFTool is a Multi-use VMware tool for various OVA/OVF files operations using the Command Line. I found it really handy in this occasion, while trying to deploy the Palo Alto NSX Version of Virtual FW into the existing vSphere 6 environment with NSX 6.2 deployed. The issue was that there was no way to deploy the .OVF due to the certificate error, presented below. The original 3 files in the PA7.0.1 folder are the .MF, .OVF and the .VMDK file, all with the same name (PA-VM-NSX-7.0.1.*).
I tried talking to Palo Alto support, and they proposed signing an .OVF manually, due to a possible corruption of a .MF file. Basically, sometimes when you try to deploy a OVA/OVF, the Manifest File (.mf) will be missing, or corrupt. In this case you will need to sign the file 'manually'. Before you're able to sign the .OVF VM, you will need two files: file.PEM and file.MF.
Before you start, you will need to download the OVFTool. To do this, you will need a valid VMware username/password.
Before you start 'playing around', I strongly suggest you to read a bit about it, and the operations you can perform in the Official VMware OVF Tool User’s Guide
Create a PEM file
To sign a package, a public/private key pair and certificate that wraps the public key is required. The private key and the certificate, which includes the public key, is stored in a .pem file.
The following OpenSSL command creates a .pem file:
> openssl req -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout x509_for_PA.pem -out x509_for_PA.pem
You will need to specify the standard x509 certificate details while doing this. Check if the .PEM file has been successfully created:
MJ-MacPro:VMware OVF Tool iCloud-MJ$ ls | grep pem
MJ-MacPro:VMware OVF Tool iCloud-MJ$ openssl x509 -text -noout -in x509_for_PA.pem

Create a Manifest (.MF) file
To create the manifest file, run the following command for all files to be signed:
openssl sha1 *.vmdk *.ovf > Final-Signed-VM.mf
Once you´ve created the .MF and .PEM, you can proceed to signing the OVF file using the OVFtool. I had the files in C:/PA7 Folder, but to avoid copy-pasting the entire path, I simply copied them to the folder where OVFTool.exe is (C:Program FilesVMwareVMware OVF Tool> in Windows environment, /Applications/VMware OVF Tool in Macbook)
You may continue the procedure in Linux/Mac. OVFTool commands are exactly the same. I switched to Windows environment due to a Fusion Library errors (details at the end of this post).
Sign the OVF using the OVFTool
The final step is to execute the OVFTool command in order to create the new, signed OVF:
ovftool --privateKey='x509_for_PA.pem' PA-VM-NSX-7.0.1.ovf Final-Signed-VM.ovf
TIP: Beware of the CAPITAL/non-capital letters errors in your command:
C:Program FilesVMwareVMware OVF Tool>ovftool --privatekey='x509_for_PA.pem' PA-VM-NSX-7.0.1.ovf Final-Signed-VM.ovf
Completed with errors
C:Program FilesVMwareVMware OVF Tool>
C:Program FilesVMwareVMware OVF Tool>ovftool --privateKey='x509_for_PA.pem' PA-VM-NSX-7.0.1.ovf Final-Signed-VM.ovf
The manifest does not validate
Completed with errors
C:Program FilesVMwareVMware OVF Tool>ovftool --privateKey='x509_for_PA.pem' PA-VM-NSX-7.0.1.ovf Final-Signed-VM.ovf
The manifest validates
Writing OVF package: Final-Signed-VM.ovf
OPENSSL_Uplink(000007FEEDE66000,08): no OPENSSL_Applink
C:Program FilesVMwareVMware OVF Tool>
Now we copy the files BACK to the original folder (C:/PA7). The content is displayed below.
C:PA7>dir
El número de serie del volumen es: B416-28D0
Directorio de C:PA7
20/10/2015 12:13 <DIR> .

You will now be able to deploy the .OVA to your vSphere.
Note: As you probably noticed, I created the .PEM and .MF in my MacBook, and then passed the files to a Windows VM because of a few Fusion Library errors I´ve been getting.
VMware Fusion unrecoverable error: (vthread-4), SSLLoadSharedLibraries: Failed to load OpenSSL libraries. libdir is /Applications/VMware OVF Tool/lib A log file is available in '/var/root/Library/Logs/VMware/vmware-ovftool-16747.log'.
Palo Alto Virtual Firewall Download
What you need
- A computer with VMware or VirtualBox on it.
Purpose
To get a Palo Alto virtual firewall workingand see how to configure its basic security settings.
Downloading the OVA File
Go to the page linked below, and log inwith the credentials given in class.
Find the 'CNIT 140' section and download the Palo Alto Firewall file.
You end up with a 1.7 GB file named PA-VM-ESX-7.1.0.ova.
Importing the OVA File into VMware Fusion
In VMware Fusion, click
File,
Palo Alto Panorama Ova Download
Import.
Browse to the PA-VM-ESX-7.1.0.ova file and double-click it.
In the 'Choose an Existing Virtual Machine' window, clickthe Continue button.
Choose a location to save your Palo Alto VM and clickthe Save button.
Wait till the import completes. Then click theFinish button.
The Palo Alto starts up, saying 'Welcome to the PanOS Bootloader'.
Logging in to the Palo Alto Directly
This may be the most secure method, butnot a very convenient one.
In the VM window, at the 'vm login' prompt, log in with these credentials:
Username: admin
Password: admin
You're in, as shown below:
Using Help
Type
?A list of available commands appears,as shown below.
Type show? to see a list of parametersfor the 'show' command.
Using the Web Interface
Open a Browser and go to
https://192.168.1.1/

A box appears, allowing you to change thepassword,as shown below.
Configure the Management Interface
Palo Alto Ova Downloads
Select Device > Setup > Management and then edit the Management Interface Settings.
Palo Alto 7.1 Ova Download
Enter the IP Address, Netmask, and Default Gateway.(Leave them alone).
To prevent unauthorized access to the management interface, it is a best practice to Add the Permitted IP Addresses from which an administrator can access the MGT interface.
Set the Speed to auto-negotiate.
Select which management services to allow on the interface.
Make sure Telnet and HTTP are not selected because these services use plaintext and are not as secure as the other services and could compromise administrator credentials.
Click OK.
Commit Your Changes
At the top right of the Web interface,click
Commit.
A Commit box pops up. Click Commit.
The device may take up to 90 seconds to save your changes.
