active/stanby cluster disconnected after Update

I have two new F5 BIG IPs with 12.1.2 HF2 installed, these two devices are running active/standby (same device trust configuration like the old ones with 11.6.2 HF1).

 

While Upgrading from 12.1.2 to 12.1.3.1 (or directly to 13.0.0 or 13.1.0) my Cluster ist disconnected, because of different Software Version.

 

Does any one have the same issue? Any suggestions?

 

  • Yes, I had the same issue. The cluster is disconnected, you can't sync configuration between both units but HA is working and you can make a unit STANDBY or viceversa.

     

  • That is expected, you need to have both members of the cluster in the same version otherwise you cannot sync. It makes sense though, there are big difference between versions as new functionalities that cannot be sync'd on different software versions.
