Upgrade Multiple ASAs with Images from your own Repository

Step 1

Review ASA and ASDM Upgrade Prerequisites for upgrade requirements and important information about upgrading ASA and ASDM images.

Step 2

(Optional) In the left pane, click Security Devices.

Step 3

Create a change request label to identify the devices upgraded by this action in the change log.

Step 4

Click the Devices tab.

Step 5

Use the Filters to narrow down the list of devices you may want to include in your bulk upgrade.

Step 6

From the filtered list of devices, select the devices you want to upgrade.

Step 7

In the Device Actions pane, click Upgrade.

Step 8

In step 1, click Specify Image URL, enter the URL to the ASA image you want to upgrade to in the In the Software Image URL field, and click Continue. See Custom URL Upgrade for URL syntax information.

Note	The picture below shows an HTTPS URL in the Software Image URL field. You can retrieve the images from your repository using any of these protocols: FTP, TFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, and SMB. See Custom URL Upgrade for URL syntax information.

Step 9

In step 2, click Specify Image URL, enter the URL to the ASDM image you want to upgrade to in the In the Software Image URL field, and click Continue.

Step 10

In step 3, confirm your choices and decide whether you only want to download the images to your ASAs or copy the images, install them, and reboot the device.

Step 11

Click Perform Upgrade when you are ready.

Step 12

Alternatively, if you want Security Cloud Control to perform the upgrade later, select the Schedule Upgrade check box. Click the field to select a date and time in the future. When you are done, click the Schedule Upgrade button.

Step 13

(For multi-context mode) After the admin context and the security contexts boot, you may see that the security contexts display the message, "New certificate detected." If you see that message, accept the certificate for all security contexts. Accept any other changes caused by the upgrade.

Step 14

Look at the notifications tab for the progress of the bulk upgrade action. If you want more information about how the actions in the bulk upgrade job succeeded or failed, click the blue Review link and you will be directed to the Jobs page.

Step 15

If you created and activated a change request label, remember to clear it so that you don't inadvertently associate other configuration changes with this event.
