Symptom


  • Firewalls were upgraded from 9.0 to 9.1.
  • Following errors are seen when pushing commit from Panorama to Firewall.
Validation Error:
vsys -> vsys1 -> application-tag -> amazon-cloud-drive-base 'amazon-cloud-drive-base' is already in use
vsys -> vsys1 -> application-tag -> boxnet-base 'boxnet-base' is already in use
vsys -> vsys1 -> application-tag -> cloudapp-base 'cloudapp-base' is already in use
vsys -> vsys1 -> application-tag is invalid
vsys is invalid
devices is invalid


Environment


  • Panorama 
  • Firewall managed by Panorama
  • PAN-OS


Cause


  • Duplicate application tag configuration on Panorama and firewall.
  • In 9.0 and earlier, the Panorama config would overwrite the application tag config on the firewall, but in 9.1 and later the schema was changed so that this would cause a validation error.

     


Resolution


Delete the duplicate Application Tag on the Firewall
  1. Log into CLI of Firewall
  2. Enter Configuration Mode and delete duplicate application-tag
admin@PA-FW> configure
# delete vsys vsys1 application-tag amazon-cloud-drive-base
