Upgrade firewall software in failover pair

I need to upgrade two firewalls (in failover pair) remotely. Could somene tell me what is the way to go forward? Do I need to worry about licenses and stuff?
Thanks,
Kashish

Since you are running dynamic routing protocols, the routing instand is only active on the primary active firewall, not both. That's the reason why you can't access the tftp server on the standby unit.
What you can do is upload the image to the primary active ASA, then failover the firewall to the secondary standby ASA. Once the secondary ASA becomes the Active ASA, then you can upload the image to this ASA.
Since you can only access the active unit, once you have configured the boot system with the new image, and save the config, then you can reload the ASA one at the time.
Reload the secondary after you have uploaded the image, this will cause failover to the primary. Monitor the status of secondary by issueing "show failover", and once the secondary is up, and the software has been upgraded, then you can reload the primary active unit.

Upgrading FWSMs in Failover Pair

Due to bug, we are upgrading our Dual Chassis FWSM Failover pair from 1.1.2 to 1.1.4. I want to minimize downtime, can anyone point me to some documentation or briefly explain the best process. From 2.2 documentation it appears I can upgrade between maintenance release while maintaining failover capabilities, was this the case with 1.1? Or is the "Replacement of Failover Unit after Hardware Failure" the best process to failover eventhough one unit has not failed?

The doc in FWSM 2.2 for the faulty module replacement can serve as guideline.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/modules/ps2706/products_tech_note09186a0080531753.shtml
But as stated in FWSM FAQ -failover for ver 1.1 (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/modules/ps2706/products_qanda_item0900aecd800fa578.shtml), this might be your case. FWSM running ver2.2 provide more flexibility and minimize downtime with the 'online upgrade' features. This feature is not available in code 1.1.x.
Therefore, when performing the upgrade. rebooting both FWSM modules are inevitable, but at least with a very minimum downtime (time taken for the module to get online and working).
What you can do is to 'break' the standby FWSM from the failover process, and perform the upgrade. Repeat the same process for both blades. See attachment for details instruction.

Bluetooth connection problem since upgraded Centro software to 1.07 spnt

I upgraded to 1.07 spnt and now when i connect via bluetooth the phone doesn't work. Right when i turn my bluetooth headset off, the phone works again.
I once again upgraded the software, and then I paired it with my bluetooth before i added any of my contacts, calendar, and everything else, and it worked perfectly.
What do you think is going on?
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Are you having the same issue after you sync the phone to the PC?

Does VPN works in Firewall Active Active failover mode?

i want to clarify these two things!
1. Does VPN works in failover mode in Active/Active mode?
2. What about in Failover mode Active/Pasive?
Regards!

Hi,
Using an Active/Active Failover means that the Firewalls will be in Multiple Context mode. In other words virtual firewalls.
This means that you can ONLY use IPsec L2L VPN connections on the virtual firewalls if you are running 9.x software level on the firewalls. Any form of Client and Clientless VPN isnt supported in Multiple Context Mode at the moment.
Now with Active/Standby we have to make a distinction (if that was the word).
IF you run a normal Active/Standby Failover pair of ASAs that IS NOT in Multiple Context mode YOU CAN use any type of VPN the ASAs support.
IF you run a a pair of ASAs in Multiple Context Mode and in Active/Standby Mode you will naturally run into the limitation of VPN support in Multiple Context Mode and WILL NOT be able to use any other VPNs other than IPsec L2L VPN connections provided you are running 9.x software that supports it.
Hope this helps

I phone not working after upgrading the software

I am having an unlocked model Iphone which was presented to me by a friend who lives in USA. Since I am in Sudan, I started operating it in Khartoum and was working OK. Now recently, when I connected my Iphone to Itunes, there was an option to upgrade the software, and so I did it. After successfully upgrading the latest version of software, My Iphone does not support the carrier sim card. Now I want to go back to my previous version of software. What should I do now?

I'm sorry but no one here can help you. The TOU of these forums does not allow discussion of fixes for hacked phones. You'll either need to contact whoever did the hack or use Google to find alternate help.

Windows hangs boot after upgrading any software

Hi,
My Windows 8 Pro x64 Dell XPS8500 machine developed a really weird problem. (The problem actually began a while back - first noticed maybe 4-6 month ago - but only now trying to fix it.) It re/boots fine so long as I don't try to install anything.
However, installing any software upgrades causes Windows to hang on boot. The software upgrades that I tried are Evernote, iTunes, Java VM, and all of them are triggering the same behavior. All this aforementioned software seeming doesn't have
anything in common. The only known upgrades that do not appear to trigger the issue are Firefox and Chrome (where upgrades happen more or less in passive fashion) There is no clear event that I can recall in the past that I can attribute this happening
to (i.e. I can't pin point to something like installing a driving and it failing immediately afterwards) - just one day a message popped up to upgrade iTunes, which I did, and then rebooted to experience the issue.
Here are the steps to describe what happens with a bit more detail and troubleshooting steps tried:
Manually launch upgrade of an existing software. (Tried Evernote, iTunes, Java VM)
Successfully go through the install/upgrade. Seems irrelevant if software asks for reboot or not. Machine works fine until rebooted.
Reboot the machine. Machine shuts down without any issues.
BIOS POST is successful, and Dell logo with jumping/circulating dots comes up.
There is a normal flurry of hard-disk activity for a few seconds, which after a few seconds reduces to none or sometimes/occasionally to very brief flashing a few seconds apart. This is where the problem is noticed. It can stay like that for
hours if not days (normal boot takes about 20-30 seconds).
Typically, if there is no hard-disk activity at all, pressing the power button causes one brief flash, followed by one more about 1-3 seconds later, and no change.
The only recourse is to force turn off by holding power button for few seconds.
Letting it try to boot again leads to the same behavior.
Repeating attempts to boot 3-4 times causes Automatic Recovery to kick in.
The only way to get the machine to boot again is to use Recovery to restore to a previous state. This sometimes requires to be done more than once and doesn't fix on the first try.
(Also, I enabled Win boot menu, and couple of times instead of waiting for Automatic Recovery to kick in, tried to use recovery through the menu - in that case it's more likely to require the procedure to be done more than once).
I tried to do a logged boot to capture log file in one of the cases where it boots - it appears to never produce \Windows\ntbtlog.txt file (possible I didn't do something right for this one, though I thought that file is never deleted and only grows)
Additional Info: SysRestore currently displays only two available points:
6/13/14 - Installed Evernote v. 5.4 - Type Install
6/9/14 - Automatic Restore Point - Type System
All other previous restore points (from having installed a few more updates and software in the 1.5 years I had the machine) are gone somewhere.
Choosing to revert to the second restore point (when selecting restore point from boot menu) as opposed to the first one and later booting successfully, for some reason the same restore points are listed again (so it doesn't seem to be truly reverting)
Nothing fruitful appears in the EventLog. The only critical messages that i see there are both from SCM and one reads "The Dell Digital Delivery Service service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s)." and the other "The
system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly." (which is expected). And there is a warn level entry about some Bluetooth device not being
able to enter power save mode. That's it for system event logs.
At this point I'm totally stuck trying to figure this one out, or even trying to figure out how to obtain information on where it gets stuck. This is worse than having a BSOD as with BSOD at least there is some info on what's happening. Here
I don't even see where it gets stuck or what's preventing from booting successfully.
Please help!!!

Again, let me clarify the situation as well as provide some additional information that I discovered since original post. Per original post - I can boot into the system up and until installer gets activated either by trying to uninstall or upgrade
existing software or install new one. At the time, the only way I could get the system to boot again was to let it fail boot twice and on the third attempt let it perform system restore from a restore point, and then it would boot again (with all the
installed/updated/uninstall changes wiped out)
Since then I discovered the following additional behavior points:
I managed to get it to accept couple of software upgrades by using roughly the following steps: let it fail boot twice. On the third attempt instead of choosing system restore I instead cancel or choose advanced options (depending on what it offers).
Typically it goes either through some system analysis or disk check for errors - wait and it doesn't find anything. When presented with a menu of other recovery options (like changing UEFI, command prompt, etc), I simply choose to exit and continue loading
windows. At this point it sometimes (I'd say 1 out of 3 times) manages to boot successfully, retaining all the changes (i.e. retaining software updates and the like). If it doesn't succeed booting, repeat until it does. Using these steps
I managed to update most of software so far, including windows update. But each time it's a struggle to get it to boot again.
Simply rebooting the system without any changes succeeds most of the time. However, today I noticed that a plain reboot (without any installer/uninstaller/update or any other system/soft/config changes) doesn't always succeed, requiring the same process
as in previous bullet point to get it to boot again.
I also noticed an additional behavior - my keyboard an mouse have some buttons that are illuminated (on dell keyboard those are media buttons, and on the dell mouse it is mouse sensitivity indicator). I noticed that when windows boot up, the keyboard and
mouse lights go out simultaneously. If they come back about a second or two later (with one flicker in between), then system boots up fine (the moment they come back, the system displays the logon screen with the seatle space needle). However,
if they don't come back, then the boot will hang there for ever. Is it possible that some driver sometimes succeeds to be loaded correctly, and sometimes fails to load causing Windows to perpetually wait for that driver to finish loading (which it never
does)? If that sounds like a possibility, how can I find out what is it that windows is doing when it starts to perpetually wait for whatever it is waiting for? Tell me what logs would help to understand that and how to capture those!
Also note that I run Avira Antivir antivirus (ever since I got this PC), and it doesn't flag anything suspicious on the system. I also ran MalwareBytes scan which found no suspects, as well as GMER rootkit scanner (which as far as i can tell, also
did not find anything suspicious).
There is another oddity that is going on with the system - may or may not be related, so mentioning just in case it is - which is that I'm using Dropbox, and it keeps creating "My Videos" folder on the Desktop, even though it is way outside of my dropbox
root. Deleting the folder doesn't help as the moment I right-click on the Desktop, it re-appears. It, oddly enough, also appears in C:\Users\{profile} folder right along side real "My Videos" folder. Looking properties of both in explore
shows in the property pages that one is located in C:\Users\{profile} and another in C:\Users\{profile}\Desktop (and again, yet both of those explore shows in C:\Users\{profile}). Like I said, not sure if these are related (I suspect not, but who knows),
so mentioning just in case.
Note that I'm trying to fix it without going through refresh or reset since the first one would cause the pain to reinstall of all the software on the system (without any indication that this would solve the issue), and the later option would just completely
wipe out everything off of the system, which is even more painful, and again would not guarantee solution (e.g. if it is a bad driver that would get reinstalled anyway after wipe. Yes, I technically do have backups, but those are more for drastic case if my
harddrive crashes, and wouldn't want to rely on those to voluntarily wipe the system due to odd behaviors - too painful and time-consuming. I'm looking for a solution to problem rather than just-start-from-the-beginning-because-it-is-easier approach.
Thanks, let me know how to get the troubleshooting info to get to root cause.

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

I can no longer get my MacBook to recognize the same camera (Sony DCR-SR68) I've been doing this with for the last year. I just upgraded to OSX 10.8.1 - did I make a mistake to upgrade my software ????!!!!

I am trying not lose my mind - and I won't even go into the Paralells issues.
My Grandmother just had a stroke, and I just want to get the video from some of this summer's parties with her.
Same MacBook, Same Sony DCR-SR68 Handycam, Same IMovie
The only difference is the 'new' 'upgrade'd software. The time I could be spending with my family, I am just drowning in all my computer issues
that I never had before this upgrade.
Help !

After plugging in your camcorder, I would run Software update just one more time.
I would also try to see if the app "Image Capture" doesn't see your camcorder. This is found in your applications folder but you can get to it easily by hitting command and space bar to bring up spotlight and then typing "Image Capture".
the current version of iMovie is 9.0.7
you could try creating a new user and seeing if the camera doesn't connect from there.
if it doesn't then you might need to find a friend with a compatible OS until Sony decides to update it's support for OSX.
I looked on their site but it doesn't seem like they've ever supported it with your model.
you might also want to send feedback to apple as to your experience, although their support is limited to their own hardware, so calling Sony might be a better idea...

Do I have to upgrade my software when updating from 10.3.9 to Tiger?

I have pretty much the latest versions of all my software, as far as 10.3.9, anyhow. Mostly, I used Adobe and Macromedia programs, and I use Eudora (I have the latest one- 6.2 - I know they've stopped updating it.)
Also, I still use my Classic environment fairly often... for certain reasons I want to be able to continue using a few old items on this computer. At some point, I'll get another Mac with all the latest and greatest, but this one I need to keep and use the way it is.
The reason I'd put Tiger on it, is because so many things these days need at least 10.4 to run. Including the very latest upgrades for my Adobe software. I go back and forth on whether the possible disrupiton is worth gaining the ability to use more currently available "stuff" that needs 10.4+.
So... I can't seem to find any specifically notes stating that my system 9 software will be okay and run all right in tiger's classic environment, nor whether the programs I use, e.g. Adobe Creative Studio and the DreamWeaver Studio group, will be okay with this update. I hope, too, that things like Eudora, PopChar, Suitcase, etc, will be all right. I will probably update some programs gradually, but am hoping I won't actually HAVE to just because of installing 10.4.
I'll clone my hard drive etc, before doing it, of course...
But, anyway, does anyone have experience of making this change this way, maybe upgrading their software later but not having to do it right away?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It is worth doing the upgrade to Tiger. Most or perhaps all your Classic applications will work OK. I still have Tiger & classic works well. You will need the appropriate Tiger retail installation dvd. After installation do all the upgrades. I suggest if the Tiger version you get is less than 10.4.11 that you download the Combo 10.4.11 update from Apple downloads. Then use Software Update to check for any other updates needed. You should run Disk utility after each upgrade and correct permissions.

Preview failed because Adobe Muse could not make a connection over HTTP. The most common cause of this is Firewall software which prevents HTTP connections. You may need to change Firewall settings to allow Adobe Muse to make connections.

TS3694 itunes error (-42404) -- Okay, getting a little frustrated (but then again, who isn't a little frustrated?). I recently tried to upgrade iTunes software a few days ago but it failed. What is (-42404) error code mean?

itunes error (-42404) -- Okay, getting a little frustrated (but then again, who isn't a little frustrated?). I recently tried to upgrade iTunes software a few days ago but it failed. What is (-42404) error code mean?
I get the following:
(1) iTunes - The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? Yes/No
(2) iTunes - The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes if you wish to use these devices. OK
(3) iTunes error message - A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (-42404) OK
(4) iTunes error message - We could not complete your iTunes Store request. A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (-42404) There is an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later. OK
Okay, so I decided to uninstall and reinstall. Funny, iTunes can be found in a program folder, but it does not show up in the programs list. I tried to look for it using the command prompt ("wmic" --> "product get name") but iTunes is not there either. Doesn't even show up in the registry to try to uninstall.
I just want to "properly" uninstall and reinstall iTunes (plus the other usual suspects, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, & Apple Application Support). If anyone out there has any suggestions, please help! (I'm running Windows Vista -- don't judge/laugh) :-)

Okay, feeling like an idiot, but will share so others don't have to. I rebooted my computer and that enabled iTunes to reappear in the programs list. Don't appear to be having the same problems as before (no error messages now). Problem solved!

I attempted to upgrade the software on my iPad and I got a message that said it couldn't restore the iPad software due to an error. Now the iPad has a black scrren with the apple symbol and the processing symbol going around.

I attempted to upgrade the software on my iPad 2 and I got a message that said "unable to restore Ipad due to error". Now the iPad had a black screen with the Apple symbol and the processing symbol going around and around. When I tried to re connect it to iTunes is says "cannot connect to this iPhone due to error". How do I reset the ipad?

I want to upgrade my software, but it says I need more start up memory. I keep my stuff on an external hard drive so I don't know what is eating my memory. How can I check this?

How can I figure out what is eating my memory so I can upgrade my software?

Do you mean disk storage space or physical RAM? The latter is memory, not the former. If you mean the former:
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
If you mean RAM, then you have to add more to the computer which is not possible on Air models.
