    Hi Dan

    I just did the upgrade today, though I had to learn the hard way that the mirrors were changed (and more than the documented os-pkgs-cdn.fortisiem.fortinet.com and os-pkgs.fortisiem.fortinet.com, eg. os-pkgs-r8.fortisiem.fortinet.com) which almost bricked our installation. At least for the upgrade consider opening up general internet access for the affected system.

    Regards

    Hi Simon,

    Thanks for the note and apologies for this typo.

    We have updated the documentation https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortisiem/6.4.0/upgrade-guide/505373/upgrading-to-fortisiem-6-4-0 with the latest repo location.

    Make sure the Supervisor, Workers and Collectors can connect to the Internet on port 443 to the Rocky Linux 8 OS repositories (os-pkgs-cdn.fortisiem.fortinet.com and os-pkgs-r8.fortisiem.fortinet.com) hosted by Fortinet, to get the latest OS packages.

    Thanks

    Dan
