1. ASG120 from 7.011 to 7.100 > disaster no services/network come up after reboot > fresh install from image with help from support
2. ASG software 50 IP's in HA from 7.011 to 7.100 > first updated slave node all ok. other node has status up2date for over 24h no status change - must be reinstalled an then rejoin in ha
Our other ASG's will be updated when all the problems are resolved from astaro. A frozen system per week is better then these ugly update.
Gone very well for me, hit the button and 5 minutes later was back up with no problems, only down time was a reboot... which on my ageing hardware is pretty unusual [:)]
I tried to upgrade from 7.011 to v7.1 last night, but no joy. Like Pummel, no services/network came up after the reboot. I was able to log onto the box, and could ping eth0, but no other workstation on the internal LAN. While on my workstation, I could not ping eth0.
I rolled back to 7.011 successfully. Am now in the process of downloading the complete 7.1 image. Will report back later today.
Upgraded this morning and it went flawlessly. I was a little surprised at how quick it took to do.
The new interface is about twice as fast. And it's great to see we can bypass virus scanning on streaming media now - that was one of the main reasons I wanted to upgrade.
just a quick sidenote, for all of you that use the ASG in HA/Cluster mode, the Up2date to 7.100 introduces new virtual mac addresses, therefore the existing network enviroment (switches, router, server, clients, dns server, etc.) might have problems with it.
They will resolve itself once the ARP timeout on these devices are reached. An alternative is power cycling those devices like the switch.
Normally the ASG will send our gratuitous ARP packets to update all systems but not all react on it.
Maybe that's the issue on the devices which did not come up properly.

Sorry Gert...I'm afraid that can't explain my pickle. From a v7.101 baseline I installed the new firmware (see above) and my firewall (a non-HA setup) immediately stopped working. So, just to make sure something wasn't corrupted, I downloaded a fresh iso (asg-7.100-071203-2.iso) and started from scratch. Unfortunately, I got the same results (i.e., you can't bring up the WebAdmin tool to finish the configuration, so nothing can transit the firewall).
The main difference I can see is that just after Astaro is loaded and the firewall rebooted (but before it's configured via the WebAdmin tool), you can log on as root under v7.011 and ping both eth0 and a workstation on the internal network. Under v7.100 you can ping eth0, but receive an "unreachable network" error (if memory serves me correctly) when trying to ping a workstation.
Be happy to run some tests, but at this point I've hit a roadblock.
P.S. My firewall is a home built PC with two Intel based NICs, not an Astaro appliance.
I just updated our 425 appliance from 7.011 to 7.1 and now we are having authentication issues. Always being prompted for authentication and then we get an authentication failed message. Not going well here! I'd love some help if someone has an idea.
Well, finally had a problem, and it's pretty bizarre... have a customer with a custom built machine w/ ASG 50 user license (we built it, it's a little overkill with 2GB of RAM in it, but we'll never touch the swap with it!) with 3 intel PRO100 / S NICs in it. All has been fine until we applied the 7.100 up2date... suddenly no internet. Fortunately, we could get into webadmin through one of the other interfaces... it turns out the internet link was down... no lights on the card or anything. Swapping the cable for a crossover (it directly connects to an Adtran router) fixed it... I guess they updated that intel driver, and somehow the auto MDI/X function is now broken. In case any of you other guys have problems, check the link status, try a crossover cable, etc. -- it might be the same problem. I've reported the incident to Astaro support along with detailed HW info that will help them check it out.
Other than that, the migrations / updates have been going well.
