Failed to upgrade from v19.5 to v20 (Home license)

Hi cm00001,

Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community.

Kindly try updating via SFLoader, please refer to the following KB.

• Load firmware using SFLoader

Hello Erick,  thanks for the reply. Today I tried something different. I noticed the v19.5 MR4 update was posted. I decided to install the update, and it got updated without issues.

Later today, I tried to upload the v20.0 GA update on top, and got an interesting message and screen.

Incompatible firmware

  The firmware you're trying to install is incompatible with your current firmware version. When you restart the firewall with this firmware, the firewall will start with the factory configuration.

Make sure you take a backup of your current configuration if you want to continue. For compatible versions, see the release notes.

    I understand that when I restart the firewall with this firmware, I'll lose my current configuration.  

The upload failed.

From this point:

• Do I downgrade to 19.5 MR3 and perform the v20 CLI install?
• Or try the v20 CLI install with 19.5 MR4 in place?

Thanks!

Hi cm00001,

I've just tested upgrading my V19.5 MR3 to V20, and it went well without any issues.

Also, V20  isn’t supported from V19.5 MR4.

doc.sophos.com/.../index.html

Kindly try to do V19.5 MR3 and please check the following workaround, which might assist.

 (Missing Forum Thread) 

Thanks Erick.

I didn't realize MR4 wasn't in the list of supported upgrades to v20.  I'll try again from MR3 and report back. 

Update..  Following this guide (Load firmware using SFLoader - Sophos Firewall) didn't work.  (I went back to 19.5 MR3).

Any other place where I can check for logs to see where is the failure?

Sophos Firewall: Automatic firmware rollback in case of configuration migration failure

Hi cm00001,

Have you checked migration.log and migrationhash.log?

Hello Erick, here are the logs I found (in bold what I believe are errors, something about a WAF Security Profile). Let me know if you see something that might cause the firmware update to fail. 

Thanks!

Hi cm00001,

can you further share/DM the csc debug logs and syslog if possible?

There is a default out-of-the-box WAF security policy called "Microsoft RD Web 2008".  The upgrade is trying to rename it to "Microsoft RD Web" but is failing because you already have a policy with that name.

Can you delete or rename your existing "Microsoft RD Web"

That did it. Thanks Michael! I should have tried that out before submitting the logs. 

Thanks Erick, for pointing me to pull those 2 logs!
