Reviewing FortiAnalyzer system resources and license information

Before starting an upgrade, go to System Settings to review the following widgets:

• License Information widget

• System Resources widget to check for high memory and CPU usage

It is also recommended to check the Alert Message Console widget in System Settings and the notifications in the toolbar.

If you are upgrading a FortiAnalyzer VM:

Make sure your VM partition has more than 1024MB and your VM server is up to date.

To view the flash disk size of your VM, enter the following command in the FortiAnalyzer CLI and review the value for the first hard disk (SDA):

diagnose system print partitions

dia sys print partitions
