Upgrading an ADOM

Upgrading an ADOM

To upgrade an ADOM, you must be logged in as a super user administrator.

Typically, ADOMs are upgraded after all the devices within the ADOM have been upgraded.

For information on upgrading an ADOM before all devices within the ADOM are upgraded, see ADOM versions and Using mixed versions in ADOMs.

Note

Before upgrading your ADOM, it is recommended to backup your configuration and/or take a VM snapshot so that you can roll back changes if required.

See Creating a snapshot of VM instances and Backing up the system.

To upgrade an ADOM:
  1. Go to System Settings > ADOMs.
  2. Select an ADOM, and then select More > Upgrade from the toolbar.

    If the ADOM has already been upgraded to the latest version, this option will not be available.

  3. Select OK in the confirmation dialog box to upgrade the device.

Upgrading multiple ADOMs

Multiple ADOMs of the same version can be upgraded at the same time in FortiManager. For example you can simultaneously update multiple 7.2 ADOMs to 7.4 but cannot upgrade a 6.4 and 7.2 ADOM at the same time.

To upgrade multiple ADOMs at the same time:
  1. Go to System Settings > ADOMs.

  2. Select multiple ADOMs of the same version in the ADOM table and do one of the following:

    1. Right-click on a selected device in the table and select Upgrade.

    2. Select More > Upgrade in the toolbar.

  3. Select OK in the confirmation dialog box to upgrade the devices.
