Upgrading to v18 causes HA Pair to stop working.

Edward Higgins

I have recently attempted to update XG230's and XG330's to v18.  All my companies firewalls are in an HA cluster.  The update breaks the cluster causing one of the units to be unreachable and unavailable for the HA Pairing.  

Do I need to unpair the HA cluster and perform the updates separately?  I have had it fail 3 times on separate pairs.  Not a good track record.

    Hello, I saw the problem today. I prepaired two fresh units for customer. I configured cluster with very basic configuration. No rules. Two productional interfaces (LAN and WAN) only. I started upgrade from 17.5.12 (units vere delivered iwith this version) to  18.0.4 and it failed.

    Strange result. Primary unit was not upgraded. Secondary unit was upgraded and there was the only interface – HA link after upgrade.

    I was able to connect to secondary unit (via HA and CLI) and fill there command for reboot with older image (rebootfw f 1) but it did not work (no reboot realised).

    I had to reboot unit to default (it worked) and after configuration reboot it with older image via GUI.

    I did upgrade to 17.5.15 – it was OK.

    After that I did upgrade to 18.0.4 (form 17.5.15) and it worked well as well.

    My conclusion – do upgrade from the most fresh version in train.
