Hi,
I recently installed a customer's FortiManager 5.4.3 and imported one of his Fortigate's (firmware 5.0.x into ADOM for 5.0).
Customer wants all his FortiGates upgraded to 5.4.5, so I created a new ADOM 5.4.
I then started upgrading the FortiGate (3 steps according to the upgrade path), which went well... until the last step towards 5.4.5. The FortiGate is now unreachable and I'm going to have to fix it. (which will work out, I'm sure)
Now coming to my question:
Is there any clear documentation explaining how to upgrade FortiGates using the FortiManager??? All I found was about 2 pages in the 5.4 Admin guide...
Philip.
