Any cluster update feedback ?

Ced

Hello

Could someone give a feedback on how a cluster is updating ?

Does the 2 members update automatically, how does the firewalls process it ?

does it cause a downtime, or does it start with the slave, switch to the slave, update the master and switch back to the master ?

thanks 

Cedric

    Cedric,


    the upgrade process is the same as Sophos UTM. No downtime. The primary device upgrades the secondary device, which reboots and takes control of traffic once is up (with the new version). Then the primary device becomes "slave", upgrades and reboots. HA is active again.

    thank you Luk

    so the slave becomes the master.

    At the end of the entire updating process, does it becomes again the slave ?

    thanks again

    Cedric,


    the answer is no. On UTM there is an option "preferred node" where you can set who is the master node, so after the upgrade the master becomes the master again.

    On XG this option does not exist. Anyway they are improving HA on XG so we will see improvements soon.
