Upgrading the HA cluster for FortiOS 3.0

The following procedure will help you upgrade a FortiOS 2.80 HA cluster to

FortiOS 3.0.

You can use either the web-based manager or the execute restore image

CLI command and a TFTP server to upgrade the cluster.

To upgrade the cluster

1Backup the configurations of the primary unit. See “Backing up your configuration” on page 33.

2Install the firmware image on the primary unit.

This may take a few minutes since the primary unit will upgrade the subordinate units as well. The FortiGate units in the cluster will reboot once or twice during the upgrade.

Note: The primary/subordinate roles may change during the upgrade, if HA override is not enabled before upgrading.

SNMP MIBs and traps changes

In FortiOS 3.0 the trap file is combined into the MIB file - there is only one MIB file to download and install to your SNMP management system.

SNMP traps and variables that used hyphens (for example xxx-yyy) have dropped the hyphen and capitalized the second term (xxxYyy).

The v3.0 MIB file also has more in-depth descriptions, and supports models. To see these changes, contact Fortinet technical support to obtain the MIB file.
