This lets you upgrade the controllers step by step to a new firmware version without having to shutdown the system. Since this is only necessary in rare situations, it is recommended that you disable this mode by configuration and to enable it by the reference data editor when needed. By default, the controllers must have the same versions of firmware. This means the Standby controller would not go online while having a newer or older firmware version than the one on the Primary controller.

Note: This option is available only in Hot Standby systems already running with Concept 2.5.
