Install firmware update on standby slot

PeterUK

From what I can tell Nebula seems to install firmware on the running slot which is bad idea and would think it be better to install on standby slot.

I would normally update the firewall by local UI for the standby slot but there are times if you have fix releases that stop you when a new release comes out which is silly and can only use Nebula to update the firmware.

Hi Judy

As in I have FLEX200H with

slot 1 running V1.30(ABWV.1)ITS-24WK47-m6271

slot 2 Standby V1.21(ABWV.0)ITS-24WK43-1022-241001089

Should I only be able to update by Nebula I would like it to update to standby and not running this way firmware slots don't get old

Hi @PeterUK ,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
We have confirmed this current behavior and plan to enable the Nebula firmware to update using the standby partition in an upcoming firmware update.
Please stay tuned to our Security News & Release announcements for information about this enhancement.

Hi @PeterUK ,

Version 1.31 does not include the solution you requested. According to our schedule, this feature will be merged into Version 1.32, which is planned for release at the end of February.
