upgrade path for 5020

Ian_Gatherar — Thu, 12 Jan 2017 05:27:17 GMT

we have a requirement to upgrade a 5020 HA pair from 6.0.5-h3 to 6.1.15.

Can I confirm that 6.1.0 is the only interim release needed?

thanks

You just need to have 6.1.0 downloaded on the firewall, you don't need to actually install it. So, basically...
- download 6.1.0
- download 6.1.15
- back up configurations
- upgrade from 6.0.5-h3 straight to 6.1.15

's right, 6.1.0 is only needed as a base image, no need to install it

Hi,

As you already got major/based image installed before (6.0.0) no need for you to install it again, just download 6.1.0 and then download/install 6.1.15
