Verifying ADOM upgrade readiness

Verifying ADOM upgrade readiness

An ADOM upgrade readiness tool is available in FortiManager that can be used to check for potential issues that would prevent an ADOM's version from being upgraded. For example, you can perform a check on a 7.4 ADOM to determine if it is ready to be upgraded to ADOM version 7.6.

Each FortiManager ADOM version is aligned with a particular FortiOS syntax version. For example, the 7.6 ADOM aligns with FortiOS 7.6. syntax. The ADOM upgrade readiness tool checks if devices in the ADOM(s) have any missing or invalid configurations that are not compatible with the new FortiOS syntax version. For more information on ADOM versions, see ADOM versions

After performing the check, a report is generated that identifies any discovered issues. This report can be exported as a CSV or PDF. The ADOM readiness cannot automatically fix invalid values in ADOMs.

When there are no issues detected, the report will indicate that the ADOM is ready to be upgraded, and you can proceed with the upgrade. See Upgrading an ADOM.

To check an ADOM's upgrade readiness:
  1. Go to System Settings > ADOMs.

  2. In the ADOMs table, select one or more ADOMs on the same version.

    For example, you can test two 7.4 ADOMs simultaneously, but you cannot test a 7.2 and 7.4 ADOM together.

  3. In the toolbar, select More > ADOM Upgrade Readiness.

  4. Optionally, change which ADOMs will be checked by adding or removing them in the Select ADOMs selector.

  5. Click Next to begin the upgrade readiness check.


    FortiManager will generate an upgrade readiness report and display any detected issues. If there are no detected issues, the report will indicate that the ADOM is ready to upgrade.

  6. Optionally, click Export to PDF or Export to CSV to export the report into the selected format.

  7. Click Finish.
