20.1 Legacy Series / Re: Upgrading from 19.7.10 to 20.1

Hello Franco,

thank you very much. I did as you recommended and wrote an Email to Deciso.

I was in belive that Deciso and OPNSense are related. If thats not the case, are there any appliances OPNSense is heavily tested with? Something like the reference-OPNSense-Hardware?

regards
Matthias

Hello franco,

thank you for your quick reply. Any hints on how tu investigate/circumvent this issue on a Deciso DEC600/DEC610.
I purchased this units as I was expecting to have the least trouble with OPNSense.
Is there an option to upgrade the BIOS on this machines?

regards
Matthias

Edit:
Maybe the issue is related to that of moware, referenced in another thread:

I just updated my Deciso DEC600 and faced a serious issue.

TL;DR:
Everything went smooth except for the unit powered off, instead of rebooting. Thats can lead to serious downtime on remote sites.

Full version:
I received my DEC600 with 19.7 pre-installed. I made all available package-Updates and then unlocked the 20.1 Update via the GUI. I then started the update via the GUI.
It installed the kernel and told me it was going down for reboot.
But it never came back. When I looked at it, the PWR-LED was off. So I left it some time (about 30min) as I was expecting it to power on by itself.
After that time period I got a bit nervous and pulled the power cord and put it back in. It booted and continued the update without any further issues and now is running 20.1
Luckily the unit was not shipped to it's site and sitting on my desk.

I also have a DEC610 sitting about 200km away, running 19.7. Any hints on how to upgrade this unit without facing this issue?

I also want to mention that this is my first and only issue with OPNSense, everything else went totally fine and I really appreciate your efforts.
