      Has anyone successfully upgraded a Netgate 7100 from 22.05 to 23.01? I plan to do that later today.

      Yes, we have a second hardware to use if it fails.

      edit: ah, found https://forum.netgate.com/topic/178131/xg7100-upgrade-fails ... seems to work if I stay patient ;-)

        Upgrade worked, system was up again after a few minutes only.

        But I had to restart the WebGUI from the shell at first, then something with routing or firewalling wasn't fully working. I could access the WebGUI, but users weren't able to surf. Only after another reboot everything worked again.

        We have 3 WAN-connections there, all gateways were shown as online, I edited the default gateway and saved/applied, also I did a "Filter reload" before that 2nd reboot.

        Now everything looks good to me.

          @sgw had exactly the same issue on one of our HA pair (primary node) other one worked perfectly..

          Missing default routes etc and web gui not working. Thought perhaps upgrade hadn't completed but waited a long tim (hours) and nothing in processes to indicate still running...Another reboot fixed it

            Don't know if you have already updated, but we have the 7100 and we updated yesterday. Didn't experience any issues with the process of updating from 22.05 to 23.01.

            I am however having an issue getting to the console? I plug everything in but can't get to it. We are on ZFS so maybe that is the issue. But I can SSH to the Console now with no issues...just an issue to using the console cable direct to the 7100.

              @unififcf I suggest you start a thread in the Netgate Hardware section. They’re probably more likely to see it there.

              Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
              When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
