Active/Standby failover pair firmware upgrade

[rutekp123]

Hi,

   There is offical document how to upgrade software on Cisco ASA in Active/Standby. But no document about firmware upgrade. Anyone try to upgrade in active/standby but firmware not software ? This command is ok ?

failover exec mate upgrade rommon disk0:/asa5500-firmware-1118.spa

But what about confirm to reload ?

[balaji.bandi]

I did some time back, if this is active / on standby 

you can upgrade standby first, once reload check shows the module

then upgrade the Primary unit.

Note: last time I did use a console so I would prefer this.

I want to do it remotly. But this command: failover exec mate upgrade rommon disk0:/asa5500-firmware-1118.spa

will ask about reload.

On other hand i dont know if I use command upgrade rommon disk0:/asa5500-firmware-1118.spa on standby unit directly this will do only on standby only or on both units ?
