You actually didn't have an option there for me to vote on; "Multiple Units, one or two with issues" ...
We support quite a few customers on Astaro, so we test each up2date ourselves before we deploy them... Found that on some systems, the up2date installs, but all network traffic stops... no webadmin, no SSH, no nothing... tested on VMWare and hardware. A power cycle (or in VMWare or hardware with a keyboard / video, a login to the console and a shutdown -r now) returns it to operation. Appears the NICs or Netfilter itself gets hung up, I think the commonality in the 2 I've had troubles with is the existence of an active IPSEC tunnel when the upgrade is performed. I've reported the issue to Astaro Support... in the meanwhile, if I upgrade a customers' system, I'll be adding a CRON job to reboot the target system about 20 minutes after I apply the update, that way if I lose connection to a remote system, it'll still reboot and come back up.. .the system doesn't quit running when this happens, just stops passing network traffic. I saw a similar problem at 1 customer site when we applied 7.101... hence my caution when updating remote units.
Other than that, no other issues. I have a number of customers who will simply love the Auditor role addition and the Blocked Sites reporting! Kudos on adding those features!
