Explanation

Before upgrading managed firewalls via Panorama, you must first Commit and Push the current configuration from Panorama to all managed firewalls. This ensures the firewalls are running the latest synchronized configuration before the upgrade begins. If configurations are not pushed beforehand, the upgrade process may encounter mismatches between Panorama's committed config and what is actually running on the firewall, which can cause commit failures or unexpected behavior post-upgrade. The other options are not required steps in the pre-upgrade workflow: licenses do not need to be refreshed, firewalls do not need to be re-associated, and the Master Key refresh is unrelated to the upgrade sequence.
