Upgrading from 19.7.10 to 20.1

[Supergiovane]

Migration from 19.7 to 20.1 went smooth on a Proxmox VM with VirtIO adapter, configured with:
1 LTE and 1 ADSL with failover/fallback
1 OpenVPN to another 19.7 Opnsense machine
1 LAN with Unbound DNS
Thank you again for this very good firewall.

Upgrade from 19.7.10 to 20.1.1 works without any problem on a Lexcom 3I525 with 8GB Cf Card (Nano-Image).
Time for the upgrade 40 min.

Show us your firmware mirror settings then.

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.

Hi,

This may be a hardware or BIOS issue. We do always reboot from a software perspective.

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:

Hi Matthias,

I can't tell, sorry. Should have directly suggested to contact Deciso with these questions: contact@deciso.com

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

Hi Matthias,

We can't support hardware through open source channels and so we always recommend using proper business channels to manufacturer / reseller.

From personal experience I know this issue from various operating systems on different hardware (never VMs).

I was on NYCBug before; no dice.  Then I switched to "default" and let it pick; no dice.  I picked Amsterdam, still no dice.

I've tried multiple mirrors..  I'd like to stick to LibreSSL if possible without defaulting to OpenSSL.

Any help appreciated.  Thx

Show us your firmware mirror settings then.

Tried the SF mirror; same thing.  No joy.

Super frustrated..

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?

[franco]

@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 :)
