Upgrade Time 7.0.x to 7.2.x

[kuberr]

We have been running an FG201 HA pair for 2 years, system has been very stable, just upgraded to 7.0.16.

We need some of the 7.2 features to support some MSP security stuff, It looks like 7.2.10 is latest.

I have done one major (6.4.x to 7.0.x) upgrade and a couple of minor ones so not exactly experienced.

Is there anything to watch out for or any words of wisdom ?

TIA

Hello,

Here is my list with recommended actions:

- make backup of the configuration of both HA units

- check the release notes

- check upgrade path

- in case there is only one upgrade step (i.e. 7.0.16 GA -> 7.2.10 GA), I would recommend to check whether your platform support booting from secondary partition for fast roll back in case of unexpected behavior after the upgrade
