Upgrading FortiInsight Firmware
-
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.
- VMWare : FIN_VM-v6.4.0.xxx-FORTINET.out
- HyperV : FIN_VM_HV-v6.4.0.xxx-FORTINET.out
- KVM : FIN_VM_KVM-v6.4.0.xxx-FORTINET.out
- The FortiInsight firmware can be upgraded from the CLI via FTP/TFTP.
To upgrade FortiInsight firmware using the CLI:
- Copy the latest firmware image file(.out file) to your FTP/TFTP server.
- Log into the CLI.
-
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

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