22.01, SG5100 upgrade "red led blinking"

mer

Upgraded a 5100 this morning, from 21.05 to 22.01. Took longer than I thought it should but, having console connected helped ease the trepidation.

Anyway, it eventually finished, all seems to be working (relatively trivial config on it) but the middle status LED is still blinking Red, indicating "running update process".
Nothing in the GUI or console indicates that update has not finished.
Any thoughts on what I can quickly check to ensure the update has finished before rebooting?

Thanks.

Ok, so pfSense-upgrade -d -c indicated it was all upgraded fine, so a simple reboot cleared the blinking LED. I'm guessing this is "expected behavior".

That's a known issue in 22.01, the LED driver name changed.

You can apply this patch to correct it: 5100_LED.diff

Or just create a link to the old name with this command:

ln /usr/local/sbin/5100led /usr/local/sbin/SG-5100led

Thanks for the info. It appears to be working correctly after an extra reboot, so I'm not worried about it, but I will do the ln.

@jimp Sorry for posting in the wrong place, thanks for moving it.

Applying the patch also worked fine.

I have the blinking red LED after installing 22.01. I applied the patch, but no change. Does it require a reboot after using the Patch installer to install it?

I will try rebooting after the kids finish their movie. I will report if it comes up correctly after a reboot.

P.S. A reboot seems to have done the trick. All is good now.

@phizix Yep reboot required because the script that changes the state of the led is called on "device state changes" like you trigger an upgrade, shutdown the system, etc.

stephenw10

Yup, that.
Or you can run it manually:

[22.01-RELEASE][admin@5100.stevew.lan]/root: pfSense-led.sh
usage:
pfSense-LED booting
pfSense-LED ready
pfSense-LED update [1|0]
pfSense-LED updating
[22.01-RELEASE][admin@5100.stevew.lan]/root: pfSense-led.sh ready
[22.01-RELEASE][admin@5100.stevew.lan]/root:

@stephenw10
Is there anything that would fail during the upgrade if the patch has been applied?

stephenw10

Nope, that patch will be in the next update anyway.

@stephenw10 & @mer,

It is just nice to not have a red flashing light in the meantime. Annoying as flan.
