Pre-reqs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1) Config Backup
\n“more system:running-config”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HA Active\/Standby<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1) Check the upgrade path on the release notes of the new version for the ASA model.
2) {9.4(2)11} -> {9.8(3)18}
3) Note the MD5 hash for all versions
4) (Optional) Make sure the current ASDM version is compatible with the new ASA version, if required upgrade
“conf t
asdm image disk0:\/{asdm-792-152.bin}
end
wr”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5) Note which device is Primary\/Secondary and which is Active\/Standby
“show failover”
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6) Upload the all required images to both ASAs,
“copy {Source}:\/{asa983-18-smp-k8.bin} disk0:\/”
Repeat for all versions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7) Verify the Images are not corrupt on both ASAs,
“verify \/md5 disk0:\/{asa983-18-smp-k8.bin}”
Compare with Md5 Hash on Cisco’s website noted in Step 3
Repeat for all versions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8) Verify both ASAs have all the required files uploaded, including the ASDM and AnyConnect images
“dir” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
9) Check which image is currently being used on the Active ASA
“show boot”
“show run | inc boot”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10) Remove any images referenced in the running config on the Active ASA
“conf t
no boot system image disk0:\/{asa942-11-smp-k8.bin}
end”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
11) Change the boot variable to point to the desired image and save the config
“conf t
boot system image disk0:\/{asa983-18-smp-k8.bin}
end
wr”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
11a) If “Primary\/Active and Seconday\/Standby” follow Step 11, if “Secondary\/Active and Primary\/Standby” follow Step 12
11a) Primary\/Active and Seconday\/Standby<\/p>\n\n\n\n
