Scott, Not sure if is a concern for you but upgrading from 7.0 to 7.2 does not allow a zero downtime upgrade. Check out the section " Performing Zero Downtime Upgrades for Failover Pairs" on the following link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa72/configuration/guide/mswlicfg.html Nick

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.
