Re: [pfSense] 2.2.6 HA to 2.3 Upgrade Advice
Thanks, I am now update to date. Guess I was just trying to over complicate things, everything upgraded without any quirks at all.

I have been running 2.3 at home and my test servers and am ready to upgrade the office to 2.3 as well. I have been reading several upgrade guides, as to which one to upgrade first, but would like to see if anyone has upgraded a HA setup yet successfully? What I am looking at doing, is disable carp, and upgrade the master after I make backups, and take a snapshot of the machines to roll back to if needed (they are vm's). Then once everything is upgraded on master, allow carp to switch back, then upgrade secondary. Should this work? Going from 2.2.6 to 2.3, if I do the master first, do I need to disable the sync from master until the secondary is upgraded as well? Have not seen much specified for 2.3, only 2.1 to 2.2 upgrades.
