Cisco ASA 5585-X upgradation

[preetpeethambaran]

Hi,

We have a schedule ASA (HA) 5585-X up-gradation scheduled for next week end. Current ASA version is 9.1(6)10, & we are planing to upgrade to 9.8(4) 10 version.

Please let me know, if i can directly upgrade to 9.8(4)10 version from current 9.1(6)10, & if yes will there is any impact on HA during the up-gradation.Also please let me know, if there is any critical points to be considered/checked before upgrade, as ASA firewall is the core firewall & is very very critical.

Also i am planing to configure console authentication as local database instead of ISE during upgrade window. Please let me know, if both commands need for Console to point to local database.

ASA # aaa authentication enable console  LOCAL

ASA # aaa authentication serial console LOCAL
