Monitoring the Auto Update Process
You can use the debug auto-update client or debug fover cmd-exe commands to display the actions
performed during the Auto Update process. The following is sample output from the debug auto-update
client command. Run debug commands from a terminal session.

If only the primary (active) unit has new image, the secondary unit becomes the active unit, and
e.
the primary unit reloads.
f. The update process starts again at step 1.
If the adaptive security appliance determines that the ASDM file needs to be updated for either the
primary or secondary unit, the following occurs:
a. The primary unit retrieves the ASDM image file from the HTTP server using the URL provided
by the Auto Update Server.
The primary unit copies the ASDM image to the standby unit, if needed.
b.
c. The primary unit updates the ASDM image on itself.
d. The update process starts again at step 1.
If the primary unit determines that the configuration needs to be updated, the following occurs:
The primary unit retrieves the configuration file from the using the specified URL.
a.
The new configuration replaces the old configuration on both units simultaneously.
b.
The update process begins again at step 1.
c.
If the checksums match for all image and configuration files, no updates are required. The process
ends until the next poll time.
