Upgrading FortiManager Firmware
This section describes how to upgrade FortiManager firmware.
|
Fortinet recommends uploading firmware to FortiManager by using a server that is in the same location as the FortiManager. This helps avoid timeouts. |
To upgrade firmware:
- In System Settings > Advanced > Advanced Settings, enable Offline Mode.
Offline mode stops automatic firmware updates during the upgrade.
- Go to System Settings > Dashboard.
- In the System Information widget, go to the Firmware Version field, and click the Upgrade Firmware icon.
- In the Firmware Upload dialog box, click Browse to locate the firmware package (
.outfile) that you downloaded from the Customer Service & Support portal, and click Open. - Click OK.
The firmware image is uploaded. When the upgrade completes, a message confirms a successful upgrade.
It is recommended to view the console log output during upgrade. See Checking FortiManager log output.
- When the login window displays, log into FortiManager.
- In System Settings > Advanced > Advanced Settings, disable Offline Mode.
- Review the System Settings > Event Log for any additional errors. See Checking FortiManager events.

When the upgrade completes, you might have to refresh your web browser to see the login window. |
|
Optionally, you can upgrade firmware stored on an FTP or TFTP server using the following CLI command: execute restore image {ftp | tftp} <file path to server> <IP of server> <username on server> <password> For more information, see the FortiManager CLI Reference. |
