Issues Resolved in Version 5. Improved data pruning. CSCus Resolved an issue where, if you applied an access control policy to clustered devices, the access control policy page displayed the status of the policy apply as pending even though the action queue task successfully completed. Source Fire I tried it and it failed,,, miserably,,, in fact I never got the SFR module back up again, it always showed as Unresponsive. My thought was to replace 5. Check out my post on upgrading to 6. First off, you need to go to 6.
Next you need to choose if its a unified image or separate image. Next you need to validate what version of ROM you are running. You may have to upgrade the ROM before the upgrade.
Go check out that post and let me know if everything there makes sense. HI im having issues with a ASA when i try to upload an update from asdm. Hi Nick. This means you have to download the major release updates from cisco.
Next there are two types of updates with regards to 6. I assume you are going with the separate image verses the unified? See my blog post on the difference. Also note 6. Is this a lab setup? Do you have TAC support? I posted some new installation videos so worst case if it is a lab, you could use ASDM file management to upload the temp boot file and install 6.
The process I showed in this post should work if you have the right file and the ASA can access your system hosting the file. Maybe your laptop has a firewall or other security enabled preventing the transfer? I was able to manually upload both the 6. Just purchased an ASA X and successfully upgraded from 5. But be forewarned….
You cannot upgrade using the path mentioned in the above article, as Cisco will no longer let you. Yes, you read that correctly! If you try to skip any of these you will get an error telling you the upgrade is meant for version X. X or later where the Xs represent the previous version from the one you just tried to installed. This really irritates me. There is no reason that when I buy a new May with a manufacture date less than two months back Mar 23, , that it should ship with software that is over two years and 20 upgrade versions out of date.
