I have been running UTM9 on several of our sites for several months now on our sites that are not running Active/Passive HA setups and they seem to be running well. I think we're ready to upgrade our 220 HA to UTM9. What is the recommend process? Will the one-touch upgrade just run or is there a special dance we need to do to get it right? I'm envisioning it being simple like this: Trigger One-Touch Upgrade on HA Master HA Master Updates and Reboots HA Slave Fails Over While HA Master Boots HA Slave Upgrades to UTM9 and Reboots, completing upgrade HA Master becomes primary again during failover from HA Slave It sounds good on paper, but my gut tells me that there is more to it. I have seen in some early threads from late 2012 where one of the units had to be shut down but I'm wondering if that is correct or if that's still needed. If this was covered somewhere else and I missed it, please direct me where this is laid out. Thanks in advance.

v8.309 -> UTM9 220 Active/Passive HA Upgrade Process

I have been running UTM9 on several of our sites for several months now on our sites that are not running Active/Passive HA setups and they seem to be running well. I think we're ready to upgrade our 220 HA to UTM9.

What is the recommend process? Will the one-touch upgrade just run or is there a special dance we need to do to get it right?

I'm envisioning it being simple like this:

Trigger One-Touch Upgrade on HA Master
HA Master Updates and Reboots
HA Slave Fails Over While HA Master Boots
HA Slave Upgrades to UTM9 and Reboots, completing upgrade
HA Master becomes primary again during failover from HA Slave

It sounds good on paper, but my gut tells me that there is more to it. I have seen in some early threads from late 2012 where one of the units had to be shut down but I'm wondering if that is correct or if that's still needed.

If this was covered somewhere else and I missed it, please direct me where this is laid out.

Thanks in advance.

Nice, thanks for the input guys. I'm fascinated that the upgrade engine has enough wherewithal to upgrade the slave node, failover and then upgrade the "master".

I will run this process tonight so that if I have to drive the 5 1/2 hours to get to this remote office to fix it manually in the morning I'll make it there before they open! Let's hope that doesn't happen though.

Both of the 220's I'm upgrading have 2GB and are running 8.309 so I'm not anticipating any issues.

I will report back with results once it's complete. If there is any ability for me to see what exactly happens during the upgrade, I will post it here so others searching for info on this will be able to find it.
