I can´t upgrade from 2.5.2 to 2.7.0

@fealiaga said in I can´t upgrade from 2.5.2 to 2.7.0:

@stephenw10

You can install the latest version and run the backup with another older version without affecting the base version

Yes, you can restore a config from 2.5.2 (or any older version) into 2.7.

@stephenw10

there is any form to upgrade from 2.5.2 to 2.7 manually

[stephenw10]

Upgrade to 2.6 first. Set the repo to 2.5.2. Then run:

pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade

Then set tjhe repo to 2.6 and upgrade to that.

I tried the way you told me, and it worked without problems, but I need to know how to update from 2.5.2 to 2.7 directly without having to use a new installation

[stephenw10]

You have to go through 2.6. Use the instructions above to upgrade to that if you have tried to upgrade to 2.7 and failed.

@stephenw10

i do the commands

then i tried to upgrade from the web but the web don´t do anything

also i tried from console and nothing

[stephenw10]

You didn't set the repo branch to 2.5.2 first. So it just reinstalled the 2.7 pkgs.

[fealiaga]

@stephenw10 so sorry i am new with this system, how i can set the repo to 2.5.2?

[stephenw10]

In System > Updates > Update Settings

[fealiaga]

@stephenw10 i only have this

[stephenw10]

Ok, try using 2.6 directly then. That should still allow you to upgrade from 2.5.2

[fealiaga]

@stephenw10 today works upgrade to 2.6, now i have to try with 2.7

[fealiaga]

@fealiaga works from 2.6 to 2.7

now i have to do the same in production. wish me luck!

[stephenw10]

Looks good. Good luck!

Make sure you have a config backup and a recovery plan if you need it.

Hi! @stephenw10 how are you today? I tried to update my main pfsense server, which is installed on a Dell PowerEdge R6525 server, with three interfaces connected, one for the LAN, another for the WAN and one in trunk mode for all the interfaces of my company, and I had the following error message when trying to go from version 2.6 to version 2.7

"hwrm_cfa_l2_filter_alloc command returned invalid params error" what i can do with this?

Going from version 2.5.2 to version 2.6 there was no problem but now I have the problem with this latest update.

[stephenw10]

It's an error from the updated bnxt driver. Is the NIC still functioning as expected?

That's not an upgrade problem though, you should probably start a new thread for that.

[fealiaga]

@stephenw10 no, the interface did not work as needed, i will open a new thread

[stephenw10]

Probably this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14569

Or rather this: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=269133
