Fortimanager ADOM Version Question

[kenamm]

I'm finding mixed opinions on this searching online, so I thought I would ask here for advice.

I have a FMG recently upgraded from firmware 7.0.13 to v7.2.8. Circumstance forces me to add a new device to the FMG running on FortiOS 7.2 but I can't upgrade the other managed Fortigates to 7.2 at this time. I can't import the policy packages from this new FGT because the ADOM is still on v7.0.

So my question: can I safely upgrade the ADOM to 7.2 so I can manage this new FGT now and revisit upgrading the other gates to FortiOS 7.2 when I get the OK from the powers that be?

Hi,
Just to be on the safe side of things, I would personally create a separate ADOM with the version that I require and then move the FGT in question to it.

After you upgrade all your devices to the major release, you can then either add them to the new ADOM or upgrade the existing one and moving back the previous one.

At least that's how I would do it.
