system integrity check failed

Hey bobwaithaka,

that doesn't look very healthy - if you get this repeatedly when power-cycling the unit, and you don't even get the prompt 'press any key to interrupt boot', then there's very little we can do.

I would suggest you open a ticket with Fortinet support; they may be able to suggest additional steps to see if the unit is recoverable, and if not, depending on your service contract, may be able to help you get a replacement unit.

Cheers,

Debbie

Hello Debbie, thank you a lot for the information and advise. I have initiated a chat session with Fortinet support and i'm hopeful that we'll find a solution. I'll keep you updated

Hi @bobwaithaka 

Did you upgrade the firmware directly to 7.2 or follow the upgrade path? Seems like you are facing this: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Boot-failure-after-upgrading-to-v7-0-15/ta-p/313292
