| Description | This article describes an issue that might occur when installing a Policy Package with v7.4.8 GA. |
| Scope | FortiManager v7.4.8 GA. |
| Solution |
When installing a Policy Package with v7.4.8 GA, instead of showing the changes to be applied to the target device, the 'Install Preview' might show only a single Unicode character.
For instance, the screenshot below depicts an 'Install Preview' containing only a single Unicode character 'ҕ' (U+0495):
Workaround: Step 1. Just add or change a comment in a firewall policy and re-install the policy (it must be at the firewall policy level, not just, e.g., a change in the address object definition). The install preview will show the expected changes to the installation on the target device.
Step 2. If step 1 did not resolve the issue, run the following FortiManager CLI command:
diagnose pm2 check-integrity all
And check if any device reported errors. If there are any device-reported errors, such as:
--- pragma integrity_check device db ---
Get the device OID from the output, such as /var/pm2/devdb15976. The OID is 15976. And get the device name of the OID from the following FortiManager CLI command:
diagnose dvm device list
Perform a 'Retrieve Config' for those devices (it is not needed to perform a 'Import Configuration').
To perform 'Retrieve Config': Go to FortiManager GUI -> Device Manager -> Devices and Groups -> Select the FortiGate device. Dashboard summary -> Total revisions -> Retrieve Config. |
