Can you mass firmware update Ubiquiti Equipment?

[thecomputerguy]

Say for example I have a client that has a USG, a Cloud Key, a 48-Port Switch, a 8-Port POE switch, a 16-Port POE switch, and 5AP's.

Can I just select them all and hit upgrade firmware? In my head I'm afraid of something happening where the USG goes offline while something else is updating then that one fails and the firmware gets botched in the device.

I've always updated the USG then let it full boot up, then update the cloud key, let it fully boot up, then the switches, then the AP's. This process takes forever.

I know I can schedule updates to be installed but I just want to make sure I'm not going to break something by mass updating firmware.

I've never seen that possibility. And personally I'm very conservative about how I remote updates.

I've always updated the USG then let it full boot up, then update the cloud key, let it fully boot up, then the switches, then the AP's. This process takes forever.

I'm the reverse if doing it remotely. I'll start with the AP's and then work towards the USG. If there's a CK it's last.

That's how I do it... AP's and switches get upgraded first.. the UDM-Pro is the last thing to get updated. I kick off all of the AP's at once, then do each switch individually, etc.

Unifi has a feature called "Rolling Upgrade"...which is available only when in "Devices" view...and only for the "Wireless" list (the APs).
See first screenshot of devices view...and then second screenshot of only the APs...there is a "Start Rolling Upgrade" button available.
Not available for switches....
And since Unifi controller is monogamous for gateways...not their either since you won't have more than 1x gateway per network.

There is a scheduler...since, for example, this client, a school, I don't feel like sitting there to do 26 Unifi devices.

I don't have a particular order myself. I just update USG/UDM, switches, and access points separate. Simple one lets say USG, Switch, and a few AP. I might do all the AP first then switch then USG. Sometimes USG then switch then AP. I just want to make sure I don't upgrade a POE switch while any POE powered devices are upgrading.
