[andreadg88]

Hi to everyone,

we are plan to update our FortiGate 500D in HA Cluster to 5.4, have you a release date for 5.4.2?

We are waiting for this release from May 2016 for a bug fix on CLI.

Thanks

Andrea

Yes I got the same thing, my PSK for one of my tunnels got changed during upgrade.

NOT GOOD!

@Selective and @Andy23,

Ouch!  I hope you've opened support tickets with TAC about this.

Sorry, no, this was on my lab equipment, no valid contract.

And I´m not upgrading to 5.4.2 on any production unit yet. 7 pages with known issues, I wonder how many unknown there is...

Upgraded from 5.4.2 beta 1

I hope upgrading from 5.4.1 will go more smoothly!  I've read through those known issues and think most won't bite me, though many, like "NP6 may have issue with fragment packets," are too general to know for sure.

@Andy23, what version were you upgrading from?

I opened a ticket now.

After upgrading my fortigate stopped sending alert emails because the password was wrong :\

2000E - build 5760

2500E - build 5760

3800D - build 5765[/ul]

That's 8 separate builds more than the "normal" build 1100 -- not an easy task to manage.  Kudos to the developers.

For any of you who are upgrading, it would be helpful (to me at least!) if you could post:

  1. What version you were upgrading from

  2. If you rebooted the device shortly before upgrading, upgraded under heavy load, etc.

  3. If it went smoothly or not, and if not, what went wrong

Thanks in advance for helping us avoid any pitfalls!

I've rebooted the device 1 week before upgrade

Upgrade work correctly but still same problems:

High Memory Usage because of the IPS Engine

GUI slow

@julien, 

Did you mean "same problems" meaning you had the same problems with 5.4.1?

Or are these problems new after the update to 5.4.2?

[julienlux]

Yes, i had the same problems when i was in 5.4.1
