FortiManager / FortiOS Compatibility

[gpatikis]

Hello all

We try to determine which software to use in our Fortimanager. For our Fortigates we use run FortiOS 6.4.10

From the release notes of Fortimanager 7.2.2 we have seen that this version supports our Fortigates hw model.

Apart from this and the compatibility matrix between FortiOS and Fortimanager (https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortimanager/latest/compatibility-with-fortios is there anything else we should take into account when determining new version for our Fortimanager?

Thank you in advance

If the FotiOS and FortiManager versions are compatible, please check the FortiManager release notes (especially the known issues section) to make sure the features you are using are not affected by any bugs.

Hi @gpatikis ,

https://docs.fortinet.com/upgrade-tool -> FGT only

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortimanager/7.2.0/compatibility-with-fortios
Note: The FortiManager can support only ADOMs two versions below and if the FortiManager become upgraded to 7.2 and keep an ADOM at 6.2 which is not supported then it will be impossible to be upgraded or accessed this ADOM.
ADOMs are upgraded manually.
