Upgrading from 19.7.10 to 20.1

Turned off ipv6 and it worked like a charm!  Thank you Franco!  I think this also got rid of intermittent lag...

@twoblink: does your WAN have IPv6 enabled? It's probably defunct so better disable IPv6 configuration. System: Settings: General may also work when setting "Prefer IPv4".

@simpic: either way works :)


Cheers,
Franco

Hello,

Quick question...

Can I do a new install of v20.x on a new i386 box and then restore the config from a 19.x install from a nano build?

Or do I need to upgrade the nano build first to v20.x and then do the new install and restore from the nano v20.x build?

Upgrade complete.

Small note, had to manually edit the backup xml to the new network interface names.

Hi all,

I just upgraded from the latest version of 19.7 to 20.1 but ran into issues. I'm posting as it took me a good two hours to figure out and maybe it'll help someone.

I have OPNsense running in VMware 6.7. I was upgrading from the GUI but my upgrade failed. I tried multiple times, I even tried a fresh 19.7 install and uploaded my older config before trying again. I could see via the console that the upgrade to 20.1 completed but it would try to boot then get caught in an infinite loop.

It turns out I had the 19.7 ISO mounted to my virtual CDROM drive in VMware. As soon as I removed the ISO and tried the upgrade again, it succeeded. What's weird was that the boot order for the CDROM was after the HDD but it still caused an issue. Lesson learned!
