Upgrade your FireCluster to Fireware XTM v11.4.1

To upgrade your FireCluster from Fireware XTM v11.3.x, or from an earlier v11.4 release, you must perform a manual upgrade.

  1. From WatchGuard System Manager, select File > Connect to device and connect to the management IP address of the master device in your FireCluster.
  2. From WatchGuard System Manager, select File > Connect to device and connect to the management IP address of the backup master device in your FireCluster.
  3. From WatchGuard System Manager, select the backup master device on the Device Status tab and launch Firebox System Manager.
  4. From Firebox System Manager, select Tools > Cluster > Leave. Type your admin password.
    The device reboots into standby state. The master shows the device as inactive, but the standby device shows its status as standby.
  5. From WatchGuard System Manager, select the backup master device that you just removed from the cluster, and launch Policy Manager.
  6. From Policy Manager, select File > Upgrade. Use the management IP address of the backup master device currently in standby state.
    The device upgrades and reboots. When this is complete, the device remains in standby state.
  7. From WatchGuard System Manager, select the master device and launch Policy Manager.
  8. From Policy Manager, select File > Upgrade. Use the management IP address of the master device. When Policy Manager prompts you to select the devices you want to upgrade, select only the master device.
    The master device upgrades and reboots. Policy Manager shows you a message when the upgrade is complete.
  9. From Firebox System Manager, connected to the device currently in the standby state, select Tools > Cluster > Join
    The standby device reboots. The cluster builds again, running Fireware XTM v11.4.1.
