Hello everybody,
I have to upgrade a ASA5525 active/passive cluster from rel. 9.12(4)
to the suggested release 9.14(2)15 and it is not my first upgrade.
The boot oder in the config on both nodes is:
boot system disk0:/asa9-14-2-15-smp-k8.bin
boot system disk0:/asa9-12-4-smp-k8.bin
boot system disk0:/asa9-12-3-smp-k8.bin
and all files are stored in te flashed of both nodes.
After the command:
# failover reload-standby
on the active primary node the passive standby node
boots the release 9.12(4) again.
I checked this on the passive standby node:
mut-asa-cl01# sh run ASA Version 9.12(4) <--- ... mut-asa-cl01# sh fa Failover On Failover unit Secondary Failover LAN Interface: FO-LINK GigabitEthernet0/3 (up) Reconnect timeout 0:00:00 Unit Poll frequency 1 seconds, holdtime 15 seconds Interface Poll frequency 5 seconds, holdtime 25 seconds Interface Policy 1 Monitored Interfaces 2 of 466 maximum MAC Address Move Notification Interval not set failover replication http Version: Ours 9.12(4), Mate 9.12(4) <--- Serial Number: Ours FCH2025J9A2, Mate FCH2025J9B4 Last Failover at: 17:13:20 CEDT Sep 21 2021 This host: Secondary - Standby Ready Active time: 0 (sec) slot 0: ASA5525 hw/sw rev (1.0/9.12(4)) status (Up Sys) <--- Interface Interface-Outside (62.152.179.93): Normal (Monitored) Interface Outside-GmuendCom (0.0.0.0): Normal (Not-Monitored) ...
I don't know why it skipped the first release in the boot order: 9.14(2)15
I stopped the upgrade procedure here.
Please find the 'show tech' output attached.
What would you do in this situation?
Thanks a lot!
Bye

As indicated in your show tech output:
Configuration register is 0x1
This is the default value and should cause the ASA to boot the first image specified in your "boot system ..." commands. Refernce:
To see why it isn't working, you would have to capture the console output during a reload of the problem unit. It could be a corrupted image; but in your case I see the command history shows you have verified the image.
