Thanks for that compdoc.

I must say, I'm very impressed with the upgrade ability.

I performed the upgrade remotely over an RDP session tunnelled through
SSH to a PC in green, then an SSH putty session back to the firewall
from there.

Followed the instructions (after doing a backup) to upgrade 2.1.2 to
2.2. Everything worked fine, no network drop during the process.

Noticed that the firewall website was unavailable after the upgrade, did
a restart of the server. Cue: 3 minutes of biting fingernails, but all
came back up fine, including http access to admin gui.

There was a few minutes of sluggish network response after the reboot,
but everything is now working fine.

Well done Endian!
