Failed upgrade

L4 Transporter

I tried to do an upgrade from 7.1.13 to 7.1.14 and it appeared to install fine, but the ports, all the ports, failed to come up again. So I rolled it back to 7.1.13 and it went back to working fine

Any thoughts on this upgrade failure?

Hello,

Do you have the PAN's in HA? If yes, when it reboots it fails over to the over to the 'standby' firewall and the one that rebooted will be passive and all ports will be down.

 

Thoughts?

That would be my first guess as well @OtakarKlier, in an HA cluster the peer on the _lowest_ PAN-OS version gets priority, so that would be one likely scenario

 

a second scenario could be a 'stuck' autocommit, which is easy to verify:

> show chassis-ready

I do have an HA pair but I was upgrading the passive firewall first in case I have issues, so there should be no failover because it is the passive firewall. But it should all the port grey out, could not talk to the primary firewall on the heart beat. When I rolled it it back from 7.1.14 to 7.1.13 everything went back to normal.  I am including a pic of the firewall after rolling back.passive.PNG

I did see a failed autocommit  int he system logs which I also downloaded.

So far I opened a ticket with TAC and uploaded the system logs and they sent me instructions how to upgrade. I know that things can change and processes need to change but in at least 2 years of more that I have been doing the upgrade this way it has always worked
