I would recommend forcing the failover from the CLI.

Scott,

I'm sure other people follow different methods, but I haven't run into any issues loading the code on both devices, rebooting the primary causing an immediate failover, waiting for the config sync messages on the new primary. Once I see all interfaces as normal, I reload the primary and make sure the config sync messages show up again and verify all is well.

Hi,
   I have two ASA 5520 devices in a active standby pair.  I'm presently at
firmware 7.0.7 and ASDM 5.0 and want to upgrade to 7.2.4-33.  I've googled
and found some detailed instructions and the process seems simple and
standard, upload the image, change the boot vars, save and restart. Is this
correct?  Would the following work?
First, upgrade the standby, restart, once back up fail over to standby so
the primary becomes standby and repeat?  Are there any issues with
mismatched images that I will need to be concerned with while the two
devices are in transition? How about any gotchas from the upgrade of 7.0.7
to 7.2.4 itself anything I need to know?  I didn't see any alerts in the
directions but figured I should check here.  Any pointers would be
appreciated.

Thank you
Scott
