Update to v18 from v17.5 in HA causes a simultaneous reboot on both devices

Just wondering if others are actually seeing this double reboot happen when they update their firewalls in HA mode?

From the release notes "HA: SFOS 18.0 moved to SSH tunnel-based secure communication for the HA cluster. If you're upgrading the HA cluster to 18.0 or later, both the devices in the cluster will reboot simultaneously once. You'll receive an alert on the UI before you can proceed."

I assume there's just no way around the downtime but figured I'd ask to see of someone knew something different?? Maybe I've become to used to 0 downtime upgrades...

Thanks.

Unfortunately, you will need downtime.

And you'd better expect the machines to fail HA during upgrade so backup before, note the encryption passwords, if they exist. LuCar_Toni says, it is a rare condition, but be prepared.

It is always good to know your Backup password, or backup it to Central, as you do not need the password there.
