Global database version

Global database version

The global database ADOM supports its own version plus one version. For example, if the global database ADOM version is 7.0, the global database ADOM can manage version 7.0 and 7.2, but not 6.4.

In FortiManager 7.4.2 and later, global database ADOMs on version 7.4 support assignment to ADOMs up to two versions lower. For example, the 7.4 global database ADOM can be assigned to local 7.2 and 7.0 ADOMs.

The global database is reset when the database version is edited. The database is not reset when the global database ADOM is upgraded using the Upgrade command.

The global database ADOM should only be upgraded after all the ADOMs that are using a global policy package have been upgraded.

To upgrade the global database ADOM:
  1. Go to System Settings > ADOMs.

  2. Select Global Database then click More > Upgrade in the toolbar, or right-click Global Database and select Upgrade.

    If the ADOM has already been upgraded to the latest version, this option will not be available.

  3. Click OK in the Upgrade ADOM dialog box.

  4. After the upgrade finishes, click Close to close the dialog box.

To edit the global database version:
  1. Go to System Settings > ADOMs.

  2. Select Global Database then click Edit in the toolbar, or right-click Global Database and select Edit. The Edit Global Database window opens.

  3. Select the version.

  4. Click OK to save the setting.

  5. A confirmation dialog box will be displayed. Click OK to continue.
