Symptom
- Critical severity system log ' No bootstrap media detected.' can be sometimes observed on Palo Alto Networks firewalls (on both HW appliances and VM series):
critical hw bootstrap-image-error 0 No bootstrap media detected.
Resolution
- This behavior is expected behavior and part of bootstrap feature - new devices will look for USB device for bootstrap configuration, as this is part of default configuration. After first user triggered commit, bootstrap media detection will stop running, and the log will not be displayed again.
