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 @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.
