Cisco ESA firmware upgrade

[sv7]

Hi All,

Need to upgrade Cisco ESA gateway C390 running version from 14.0.0-698 to 14.2.0. Need to know can i go directly to version 14.2.0 or is there any upgrade path need to follow .

If you managing ESA using SMA, you need to uprade SMA first to support that compatable version.

if you click upgrade on ESA GUI, it will suggest you what version you can upgrade to directly.

Hi @balaji.bandi 

We manage ESA directly and there's no SMA. Also i get below output if i click on upgrade on ESA GUI.

Does it mean i can go directly from 14.0.0-698 to 14.2.0 ?

Yes, you can go directly to any version in that list.

The other way to check the upgrade path is to look at the release notes of the version you want to go to. It will have a list of what versions you can upgrade from.

yes you can go directly use any version, those are the best suggestions, so you will not make any mistakes here.

as suggested before, if you are managing using SMA, you need to upgrade SMA first before you upgrade ESA.
