VDOM link and policy configuration is lost after upgrading if VDOM and VDOM link have the same name

VDOM link and policy configuration is lost after upgrading if VDOM and VDOM link have the same name

Affected versions:

  • FortiOS 6.4.9 and later
  • FortiOS 7.0.6 and later
  • FortiOS 7.2.0 and later

When upgrading to one of the affected versions, there is a check within the set vdom-links function that rejects vdom-links that have the same name as a VDOM. Without the check, the FortiGate will have a kernel panic upon bootup during the upgrade step.

A workaround is to rename the vdom-links prior to upgrading, so that they are different from the VDOMs.
