Step 3: OS Migration

USB Image

The file FNAC_XX0C-v7-buildxxxx-FORTINET.usb is a bootable software image that can be installed onto a USB flash drive. This is image contains copies of the FortiNAC-OS and FortiBootLoader which are written to the target system, replacing the existing CentOS installation.

USB Flash Drive Installation

On a Linux system do the following:

  1. Insert a USB flash drive into an available USB port. This drive will be completely overwritten, so it should not contain any valuable data. The size should be at least 2GB.

  2. Check to see if the drive was automatically mounted and unmount it. Determine the raw device for this drive and remember it. Going forward we will refer to the device “/dev/sda”, but it may vary from system to system.

  3. Install the image FNAC_XX0C-v7-buildxxxx-FORTINET.usb onto the USB flash drive with the command:

    sudo dd if=FNAC_XX0C-v7-build0402-FORTINET.usb of=/dev/sda

  4. Remove the USB flash drive from this system.

Note: If you only have a Windows system, try balenaEtcher instead of “dd” to perform the USB flash drive installation.
