Description | This article describes the error message 'Fail to update IPSA driver status!' that commonly appears after a scheduled update, particularly when updating to v7.4.6, on devices including the 40F/41F, 60F/61F, 80F/81F, and 100F/101F models. |
Scope | FortiGate. |
Solution |
If the event log displays an entry with the description 'logdesc="IPSA driver update failed"' and the message 'msg="Fail to update IPSA driver status!"', the error corresponds to the mentioned issue.
For FortiGate-40F/41F, 60F/61F, 80F/81F, and 100F/101F, check the output of 'show ips global'. If the cp-accel-mode is set to basic, the issue is associated with bug 854897, which has been resolved as 'won't fix'.
If cp-accel-mode is set to advanced, and the output of the command 'diag test app ipsm 15' indicates 'self-test failed' (as shown below), the error is likely related to bug 1117043.
diagnose test application ipsmonitor 15 Workaround:
To resolve the issue:
Make sure to unplug the power cable to the FortiGate unit and wait at least 1 minute before powering it back on and booting up. Simply executing the command 'execute shutdown' (without unplugging the power cable) and then powering it on, or allowing it to auto-reboot after 'execute shutdown', is not an effective workaround.
Alternatively,
config ips global set cp-accel-mode none end
Solution: The permanent solution has already been addressed and will be included in FortiOS v7.4.8 and v7.6.4. |
