5260 Z MGMT PROCESS AND APP/THREAT MISMATCH

qasim02 — Sat, 06 Feb 2021 10:25:09 GMT

Hi,

I am upgrading os for some 5260 this weekend however, just realised its showing app and threat mismatch. Upon t-ahooting I realised the management process on active firewall is showing Z defunct.

My understanding is that it is a Zombie process and I probably need to restart mgmt process.

However, as I will be failing over and firewall will be restarted as part of upgrade anyway so should I restart mgmt process or let it happen as part of the upgrade?

Would app and threat mismatch cause any issues with failover and the upgrade?

Look forward to hearing your expert opinion.

Thanks

Kas

An app and threat mismatch does not cause any real issues, but should not be ignored

During the course of an upgrade, what is most important is that the 'delta' between these versions is not too big. Some upgrades depend on content packages being of a certain version or higher, so make sure your one device is not too far behind, else you will need to address that first
