We also very often see people perform upgrades this way. They upgrade the failover unit, test, fail-over, then upgrade the "primary" unit (which is now the failover, I suppose...).

 

 

Autosync is great in theory, if everything goes 100% according to plan and you have no need to ever have things behave differently on the two systems but in reality there are many solid use cases where that is beneficial and/or will save your bacon.
