Business Continuity

• Set up and use High Availability (HA).

• Ensure there is no power interruption. A power loss could cause the loss of a FortiManager device's database integrity. See Maintain database integrity.

  • Always shut down or reboot the FortiManager gracefully. Removing power without a graceful shutdown might damage FortiManager databases.

  • Ensure the FortiManager environment has a stable and uninterruptible power supply.

• If an unexpected power loss occurs, revert to a known good backup of the configuration.

• Ensure there are spare parts on site, such as fans, power supplies, and hard disk drives.

• Keep administrator account credentials up-to-date for each managed device. See Managed device admin credentials.
