Unable to login Fortigate VM after restore configuration

Hello guys,

I restored a physical Fortigate's configuration into Forti-VM in order to test because we don't have same physical model.

Forti-VM is actived license.

Configuration restore is ok and Forti-VM has restarted.

But i am unable to login as admin user from vmware console :

-----------

Can't find admin profile ()
test-a $
test-a $

-----------

I don't know what is $ command mode , just can only excute 'exit' command.

Does anyone know any information about this ?

Hello rinvn,

 

The best option to do these configuration migrations is using the forticonverter service. As the license is already active, I would suggest you to give it a try with forticonverter and open a ticket so we can transfer the license to the new instance that you will create.

 

Is there anything in the configuration under "config system admin"?

I do not see "super_admin” configuration in accprofile.
Tried to create "super_admin" configuration and restored into FortiVM and Fortigate-1500D but still can not login.
I could not login as "maintainer".


We have support contract, so i am asking for support.
Thank you.
