Question

6.4 to 7.4.6 Fortigate upgrade story

For all the issues we hear, I figured I would post a good story.

Pair of 200E gates in HA. Was running 6.4.15, upgraded to 7.4.6.

Upgraded per the upgrade path, however the Gate had a small difference in the path than the support site had. So I used the site path, and downloaded the updates and did not use the auto update in the GUI.

Each step went well, with a few mins for HA to sync. Verified each step with each Gate for a double check and all was well. Up on 7.4.6, 5 Fortiswitch on a mix of 7.x firmware and all reporting as expected.

No major hangups, gave HA time to sync between jumps and all devices were happy. (forced ha sync start on 2 jumps)

Just wanted to toss out a happy story for the sub. Not that I have had bad upgrades, but wanted to highlight a good story of a multi line FW upgrade.

    Apparently it removes the policy if the interface is part of SD-WAN which is absolute **bleep**.
