Hi All,
I need your help.
I have a Cisco ASA5508 box which will act as an FTD. My requirement is to upgrade the IOS on ASA5508 first, and then proceed with FTD.
Currently, my Cisco ASA5508 is running Version 9.9(2)91, and there are vulnerabilities that require me to upload ASA IOS version 9.9.16 or later.
However, when I log into the CLI, I get the prompt ">", indicating I am not in ASA Privilege mode but rather in the FTD mode.
I need assistance on how to upload the ASA firmware without impacting the FTD setup since this is a standalone box.
My main goal is to upload the IOS on ASA5508 and subsequently install the .tar image on the FTD box.
========================
I also attempted an FTD version upgrade as follows:
I have a Cisco ASA5508 which is currently set up to act as an FTD. I planned to first upload the new FTD version and then proceed with ASA.
I attempted to upload the image into the FTD 6.6.7.XXXX by copying the .tar file onto the box. However, I encountered an issue where the prompt displayed ">" upon logging in.
I tried to execute the command "system support diagnostic-all" which requires a BASH prompt. When I ran the command "ls -l /var/sf/updates/", the output showed:

I attempted to install the FTD version using the command:

However, it resulted in the error:

I have attempted to clear temporary files without success, and the home directory is now 92% full. I need guidance on which files can be safely deleted.
