How to Upgrade FortiManager VM 5.4.1 32 bit from to FortiManager VM 5.4.1 64 bit:
Note: FortiManager Release Notes v5.4.1 states that support for 32-bit VMs Removed on Page 8
There is no any longer support for FortiManager/FortiAnalyzer 32-bit VMs. For FortiManager, you can use the migration feature to back up and restore between 32-bit and 64-bit VMs.
For information, see the Migrating the Configuration section in the FortiManager admin guide
- Backup FortiManager-VM 32-bit configuration
- Download the FortiManager-VM 64bit v5.4.1 image from support.fortinet.com
- Create a new FortiManager VM, this new FortiManager VM need to be running on 64 bits
- The VM license requires the IP address to be registered at support.fortinet.com
Two options are available:
a) Power off the FortiManager-VM 32bit unit and use the same IP on the 64bit unit, orb) Use a different IP address and modify the registered IP address on the Support portal. - Migrate the FortiManager-VM 32 bits configuration file using a FTP and the command:
exec migrate all-settings < ftp | scp | sftp > <server> <filepath> <user> <password> [cryptpasswd]
Example:
exec migrate all-settings ftp 192.168.1.1 backup.cfg fotinet 123456
Note: It is possible that you need to delete and add all the FortiGates again or retrieve configuration and synchronize on all the FortiGates
