Description
a. Modify firewall to allow FTP access for the eth0 IP address for each appliance until upgrade is completed.
Upgrade instructions when FTP access cannot be allowed
1. Download the install script via Administration UI. Follow steps 1-8 in the section Upgrade Using the Administration UI of the Upgrade Instructions and Considerations document.
https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortinac/8.6.0/upgrade-instructions-and-considerations/699092/upg...
2. Once the download is complete, logout of UI.
3. Open two SSH sessions to the appliance (login as root): One to initiate the upgrade (window 1) and the other for modifying the repo files (window 2).
4. In Window 1 type
cd /bsc/campusMgrUpdates
5. In Window 2 type
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
6. In window 1 start the upgrade by typing the downloaded script filename
Examples:
FNAC_install_8.8.0_build1704.bin
FNAC_install_8.8.1_build1710.bin
7. Watch the upgrade progress in window 1 for the repo files networkradius.repo and bradford.repo.rpmnew to be written.
8. In Window 2, modify /etc/yum.repos.d/networkradius.repo
Change all instances of the baseurl to reflect the correct protocol and save
Example:
Change
ftp://fortinacftp
To
http://fortinacftp
9. In Window 2, modify /etc/yum.repos.d/bradford.repo.rpmnew
Change all instances of the baseurl to reflect the correct protocol and save
Once these files are modified, the appliance should be able to complete the OS updates and software upgrade. If the repo files are modified after the first attempt to download the OS files, the appliance will try again.
