Upgrading from PIX 7.0(1) to 7.2(1)

[ph0enix]

I'm reading the release notes for 7.2(1) but it has a lot of errors (keeps referring to 7.1 instead of 7.2). My question is - can I go straight from 7.0(1) to 7.2(1) and do I need to upgrade ASDM first? (currently running 5.02). Is it a matter of just replacing the two .bin files and rebooting (like with the older versions) or do I need to do something else?

Thanks in advance!

You can go 7.0(x) to 7.2(1). I'd upgrade PIX image first from CLI. Make sure boot pointer is correct.

So I'm going to:

1. replace the PIX .bin

2 change the config to "boot system flash:/pix721.bin"

3. reload

4. replace the ASDM .bin

5. reload

Correct?

Thanks!

you probably won't have enough flash for two images and an ASDM.

1. delete asdm image - "delete flash:/asdm..."

2. copy tftp flash:

3. change config to "boot system flash:/pix721.bin"

4. reload

5. if that's ok then remove old image - "delete flash:/pix70x.bin"

6. tftp new asdm

7. change config to "asdm image flash:/asdm.bin"
