Upgrading CX version in a 5515-X

[thom.visser]

I can see the command I need to run from the link below. of how to do it.   However it looks like when it is done, it requires a reboot.  Does this reboot the whole ASA or just the CX module (see below).  You are inside of the CX module, so I am guessing just the CX.  But would like validation.  :)  Thanks!

When you upgrade a CX, only the module itself reboots. This is true for both software-only module (5512-X through 5555-X) and the hardware modules in the 5585-X.

If your ASA is part of an HA pair, it will be monitoring the CX module status as part of the unit health check and reload of the module will trigger an ASA failover.
