SSD firmware upgrade for a subset of XGS firewall models
https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KB-000045830?language=en_US
Steps to upgrade the SSD firmware
Follow these steps to complete the installation:
- Sign in to the CLI console and enter 4 for Device console.
- To verify if the upgrade is available, enter the following command:
system ssd show
You will see the details if an upgrade is available. - To upgrade the SSD firmware, enter the following command:
system ssd update
The command upgrades the SSD firmware and immediately restarts the firewall. This results in a short downtime period.
Caution: The installation process will automatically interrupt the power supply and restart the appliance. In isolated instances, if the appliance does not restart within a few minutes (maximum 10 minutes), you may need to manually power cycle the appliance.
High availability
In an HA cluster, you must upgrade the SSD firmware on each appliance individually as follows:
- Verify if both appliances in the cluster require the SSD upgrade (see information above). Appliances in an HA cluster will not always have the same SSD model.
- If both require the upgrade, upgrade one appliance first.
After it restarts, upgrade the second appliance.
