SG3100 (zero packages installed). rebooted.
waited 25 minutes for the update to install. never came back available, pulled the plug / plugged back in and watched the console and the update completed...
got the latest install from support. Wiped and reloaded from a backup
-
Installed successfully in my SG-3100, everything is already UP and running.
Got 21.05 image from support, so it's a clean install.ACME and pfblockerng_dev installed and configured, everything is running smoothly.
-
Bug #11466 is still open for SG-3100. Is there a target release when this will be resolved?
-
Updated two SG5100 and two SG3100 so far with no issues.
-
How do I contact support for an image if I do not have support contract?
I have three or four 4860 that are on older versions. I want to have an image on standby in case something goes wrong. -
@brians Just email them. You don't need a support contract to download an image.
-
Exactly - I do not have any sort of support contract.
Just go here and create an account.

Then create a ticket requesting firmware or maybe software upgrade prob would of been better. There are drop down options for what the ticket is for, etc. I will have to remember that for next time. Last couple of requests I have used firmware access - and just in the body of the ticket state what want - install image for whatever version your looking for, etc.
example - here was my ticket requesting 21.05

John... they must not like you anymore... 5 minutes... pffftt! j/k
I didn't get to things until late this afternoon and even "after hours" (7:17pm Texas time) my response time was less than 2 minutes. You just can't complain about that.

@viktor_g Thanks. I saw that patch/workaround too but would like to know if/when a fix will be incorporated into the next release.

haha - yeah they pretty much johnny on the spot for sure.. Now when 2.5/21.02 first dropped - there was a bit of delay.. It was like 28 minutes ;)

Upgraded my SG-1100 this morning. Everything went well during upgrade. After reboot, Unbound was stopped and I had to manually start it. Probably due to Unbound being down, pfB said it was out of sync and a manual force reload was required to fix it. No issues otherwise.
-
Just to give a data point with a positive experience (since it is mostly the users who have problems that post about them, and that can skew the perception of how stable an upgrade might be).
I updated a plain-vanilla SG-5100 to 21.05 from 21.02.1 without issue. Plain-vanilla means no site-to-site VPN, no multi-WAN, and no shapers/limiters. Only installed packages are Snort, apcupsd, and the OpenVPN Client Export package.
-
Upgraded a SG-1100 successfully. Took about 10 minutes and everything came back just fine.
-
Update a 4560 remotely last night but my VPN tunnel did not come back. Fortunately I have other means to gain access to domain controller via my map tools. I noticed that unbound service was not started so I manually did which resolved issue. Since I use a host name to resolve IPSec endpoints this explains. I have noticed on many upgrades that dnsresolver needs to be manually started after upgrade.
Next one I do I’ll set override dns for pfsense to google first.
-
After upgrading my sshuttle connections stopped working.
-
5100 upgraded from 21.02.2 to 21.05 with no apparent issues.
My always-on OpenVPN client connection came back up with no issue.
It was quick.
Happy :) -

I did mine yesterday (21.02.2 to 21.05, SG-1100), took exactly 10 minutes, zero issues.
Nice job, Netgate team! Thank you.
