    Upgrading from 7.0.1 to 7.0.2

    Upgrading from 7.0.1 to 7.0.2

    You can upgrade from FortiPortal 7.0.1 to 7.0.2.

    Caution

    Due to fundamental system changes, a direct upgrade from FortiPortal 7.0.1 to FortiPortal 7.0.2 is not possible.

    Follow the upgrade procedure below to upgrade from 7.0.1 to 7.2.1. This upgrade procedure deploys a new FortiPortal VM, replacing the 7.0.1 VM.
    Caution

    The CLI admin account password will be reset to the default in the upgrade to the interim image and will need to be updated.
    Note

    See Upgrading from 6.0.12 to 7.0.2 for information about upgrading FortiPortal 6.0.12 to 7.0.2.
    To upgrade FortiPortal:

    1. Save a backup of your existing FortiPortal 7.0.1 system:

      1. Go to Dashboard.
      2. In the System Information pane, select the System Backup icon in System Configuration to save a backup file onto the local computer.

      For a scalable cluster, back up the primary node.

    2. Shut down your FortiPortal 7.0.1 VM..

    3. Download and deploy the FPC_VM64-V7.0.1-build8000-release-Portal.ova image. This image is available to download from the Fortinet Customer Service & Support website (https://support.fortinet.com/).

    4. In this instance, go to Dashboard > System Configuration, click Restore System, and upload the backup file you saved previously. The system reboots when the restore process is complete.

    5. In the System Information pane, in Version, click the Upload Firmware icon, click Choose File and locate the OVA firmware image for FortiPortal 7.0.2 on your local computer.

    6. Click Upload.
      Note

      Uploading a firmware image requires sufficient network bandwidth.

      When upgrading a scalable cluster, the upgrade may take 10-20 minutes, or longer, depending on server performance.

      The firmware image uploads from your local computer to the FortiPortal, which will then reboot.

      The license may display N/A but it will become valid after about two hours.

    To upgrade the secondary nodes of a scalable cluster:

    1. Shutdown the secondary nodes.

    2. Download and deploy two or more new FortiPortal 7.0.2 instances.

    3. Join these new instances to the primary node in the scalable cluster.
