Upgrading FortiInsight Firmware

1. Download the latest firmware (6.4) to your local computer from the Fortinet Support website. Ensure that you download the correct firmware image for your hypervisor environment.

   1. VMWare : FIN_VM-v6.4.0.xxx-FORTINET.out
   2. HyperV : FIN_VM_HV-v6.4.0.xxx-FORTINET.out
   3. KVM : FIN_VM_KVM-v6.4.0.xxx-FORTINET.out
2. The FortiInsight firmware can be upgraded from the CLI via FTP/TFTP.

To upgrade FortiInsight firmware using the CLI:

1. Copy the latest firmware image file(.out file) to your FTP/TFTP server.
2. Log into the CLI.

3. Enter the following command to copy the firmware image from the FTP server to FortiInsight:

   For ftp servers:

   execute restore image ftp <filename> <ftp_server_ip> <user_name> <password>

   Where <filename> is the name of the firmware image file and <ftp_server_ip> is the IP address of the FTP/TFTP server and <user_name> <password> are the logon credentials for the FTP/TFTP server.

   If you have an anonymous FTP server, leave the username and password blank, i.e.

   execute restore image ftp <filename> <ftp_server_ip>

   Example

   execute restore image FIN_VM-v6.4.0.xxx-FORTINET.out 10.1.1.6 userid passwd

   

   Anonymous FTP was used in the above example, so username and password were not required.

   For tftp servers:

   execute restore image tftp <filename> <tftp_server_ip>

   Where <filename> is the name of the firmware image file and <tftp_server_ip> is the IP address of the TFTP server

   Example

   execute restore image tftp FIN_VM-v6.4.0.0153-FORTINET.out 10.1.1.6

4. Type y.

   FortiInsight uploads the firmware image file, upgrades to the new firmware version, and restarts.

   The initial image downloaded from the FTP server can take 5 - 10 minutes, while no progress indicator is displayed.

5. To check the firmware update has been successful, go to FortiInsight Banner > User ID Dropdown > FortiInsight Version.
