Upgrading your FortiAnalyzer unit Managing firmware versions

Upgrading your FortiAnalyzer unit

After backing up your current configuration, you can now upgrade the firmware on your FortiAnalyzer unit. The following procedures are used every time you are upgrading the firmware that is associated with the firmware version FortiAnalyzer 3.0, whether it is a maintenance release or patch release.

You can also use the following procedure when installing a patch release. A patch release is a maintenance release build that resolves important issues. You can install a patch release whether the FortiGate unit was upgraded to the current firmware version or not.

The following configuration settings are not carried forward when upgrading from FortiLog 1.6 to FortiAnalyzer 3.0:

Alerts	• Destination is not carried forward in Alerts Event
	configuration.
Report	• Report Selection is reset to all queries because of the new
profiles	report types added and the report re-organization
	• System is not restored in the Device Selection
	• Output is reset to HTML file only.
Devices	• Devices defined in FortiLog 1.6 are carried forward and
	devices privileges set to “Allow FortiGate to send logs here”
	only.
	• Syslog privileges are also carried forward.
IP Aliases	• IP Aliases are not carried forward from FortiLog 1.6 to
	FortiAnalyzer 3.0.

You need to upgrade to FortiLog 1.6 before upgrading to FortiAnalyzer 3.0. FortiAnalyzer 3.0 does not support upgrading from earlier FortiLog firmware versions.

When upgrading your FortiAnalyzer unit, Fortinet recommends upgrading to the EXT3 file system. This is done by using the execute formatlogdisk command in the CLI. The file system changes from Reiser to EXT3. The EXT3 file system provides better stability. You can upgrade to the EXT3 file system if upgrading to FortiAnalyzer 3.0 MR3 and higher. See the FortiAnalyzer CLI Reference for more information about upgrading to the EXT3 file system.

Upgrading to FortiAnalyzer 3.0

This section describes how to properly upgrade to FortiOS 3.0 and higher using either the web-based manager or CLI.

If the web-based manager and CLI are unresponsive, and the FortiAnalyzer unit cannot complete its startup, see “Restoring your configuration” on page 180.

Upgrading using the web-based manager

The following procedure uses the web-based manager for upgrading to

FortiAnalyzer 3.0.

!	Caution: Always backup your configuration before installing a patch release,
	upgrading/downgrading, or when resetting to factory defaults.
