    Upgrade information

    Upgrade information

    Refer to the Upgrade Path Tool (https://docs.fortinet.com/upgrade-tool) in the Fortinet documentation library to find supported upgrade paths for all FortiGate models and firmware versions.

    A similar upgrade path tool is also available from Fortinet Support: https://support.fortinet.com.

    See also, Upgrade information in the FortiOS 7.0.11 release notes.

    In some cases, these upgrade path tools may recommend slightly different upgrade paths. If that occurs, the paths provided by both tools are supported and you can use either one.

    If your FortiGate is currently running FortiOS firmware and is licensed for hyperscale firewall features, you can follow a normal firmware upgrade process to upgrade to FortiOS 7.0.11.

    If you are currently operating a FortiGate with NP7 processors without a hyperscale firewall license, you can use the upgrade path to upgrade to FortiOS 7.0.11. Once you have upgraded to 7.0.11 you can activate your hyperscale firewall license and set up your hyperscale firewall configuration.

    Note

    The firmware upgrade code does not support upgrading NAT64 and NAT46 firewall policies or VIP46 and VIP64 firewall policies to 7.0.11. After upgrading, you should review all NAT64 and NAT46 firewall policies and all VIP64 and VIP46 firewall policies added prior to upgrading.
    Note

    In FortiOS 7.0.11, you apply hyperscale firewall features by creating normal firewall policies in hyperscale firewall VDOMs. FortiOS 7.0.11 no longer has hyperscale firewall policies in a separate hyperscale firewall policy list, as supported by FortiOS 6.2 and 6.4.

    The FortiOS 7.0.11 upgrade process converts FortiOS 6.2 and 6.4 hyperscale firewall policies to normal firewall policies and adds them to the normal policy list in their hyperscale firewall VDOMs. During the conversion process, the policy IDs of the hyperscale firewall policies may be changed when they are converted to normal firewall policies.
    Note

    After the firmware upgrade is complete, you should check the NP queue priority configuration. In some cases the NP queue priority configuration may be incorrect after a firmware upgrade. For more information, see Check the NP queue priority configuration after a firmware upgrade.
