Example: Updating a CARP HA Cluster
-----------------------------------
Running a redundant Active/Passive cluster leads to the expectation to have zero
downtime. To keep the downtime at a minimum when running updates just follow
these steps:
- Update your secondary unit and wait until it is online again
- On your primary unit go to **Firewall->Virtual IP's->Status** and hit **Enter Persistant CARP Maintenance Mode**
- You secondary unit is now *MASTER*, check if all services like DHCP, VPN, NAT are working correct
- If you ensured the update was fine update your primary unit and hit **Leave Persistant CARP Maintenance Mode**
With these steps you will not loose much packets and also your existing connection will be transfered.
Also note that entering persistant mode survives a reboot.
