Upgrade fortigates with fortimanager

Hi,

 

We have aprox. 80 fortigates which we have added on the fortimanager only for the upgrade purposes. We dont want to change or import configuration on the fortimanager. We have some config status issue for example, we have some with status out-of-sync (because we still do changes locally), some with status unkown and some even with status "conflict". 

 

Now my question regarding this. Will this still affect the upgrade process?

Hi @nikmag 

 

As long as you do not have a plan to centrally manage the FortiGates via FortiManager, you can ignore the respective status. If you had previously imported the device settings and policy into FortiManager, the status showing as conflict, out-of-sync is actually expected. Status of unknown meaning that FortiManager could not determine the version running on the device.

 

The sync status is important only if you are managing the FortiGate centrally:
