Thank you for this simple and clear article.
But the 10.x.x images are not working with GNS3.
I tried 10.0.10 and 10.2.0 images (PA-VM-KVM-10.0.10.qcow2) and its booting but I am not able to login.
PA-VM-KVM-10.0.10.qcow2: stuck here

Hi How are you? Were you able to find any solution to this issue? I have tried this same process with the version 9.1.6 of PA but I get the same error,

Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you.

Regards

@awtsuritacuna my apologies for the delayed response.
Nope, I tried a few times and provisioned one in GCP as I was out of time.

Hi. It might be too late, but as far as I know vm login and PA-HDF are a fake outputs. You need to wait about 10 minutes until the firewall prompt looks like PA-VM login: so you can type your credentials (admin/admin by default). If you don't see this prompt, then there might be something wrong with the image. Secondly, it seems GNS3 only supports PA-VM-KVM-10.0.0.qcow2
