FWSM Failover Pair Upgrade

[dyingculture]

I was told that it was necessary to completely disable a failover configuration before seperately reloading the pair to boot into the new software.

However, I'm not seeing that in any of the documentation...which simply says to install the software, make the secondary active, reload the primary, etc.

Is this correct that the failover has to be disabled?

Thanks.

My experience is that the Cisco documentation is correct (i.e., it is NOT necessary to disable failover).

I (carefully) followed the procedure described here successfully.
