Cisco Cisco Firepower Management Center 2000

Do not restart the update or reboot your appliance at any time during the update process. Cisco provides 
time estimates as a guide, but actual update times vary depending on the appliance model, deployment, 
and configuration. Note that the system may appear inactive during the pre-checks portion of the update 
and after rebooting; this is expected behavior. 

The reboot portion of the update includes a database check. If errors are found during the database check, 
the update requires additional time to complete. System daemons that interact with the database do not 
run during the database check and repair.

If you encounter issues with the progress of your update, contact Support.
