Hello I'm upgrading PIX 515e(with failover) ver 6.33 to ver 7.04 since the downtime is a big issue i wonder if it would be ok to start the upgrade proccess (copy tftp flash:image) with the 64 mb and only after that when i do the reload to add the 128 mb ram so that i would have only one downtime.



any help would be great

How to safely upgrade a PIX failover pair has been discussed in detail on this newsgroup many times, and hopefully will make it into a new and improved FAQ some day (hint, hint, Hansang). See, for example,

Good luck and have fun!
