This usually works really well. However, when I did this 2.2 -> 2.3 upgrade Monday at my data center, my terminal window into my management server had its ssh connection severed right when the primary was booted. I suspect there is some race between the networking starting and the thing that sets the persistent backup mode, but this only happened to me once. _______________________________________________ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold
