Description
Upgrade attempt fails with error message 'This release is not supported on this appliance'.
Appliances running the CentOS 5 operating system are End-of-Life.

contact the Support representative for assistance.
The install process will exit now.

This can occur if “yum update” process is interrupted

Solution
1) Verify the CentOS version with following command:
# cat /etc/*-release
Example output:
# CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core) <----- Confirms that correct CentOS 7 is running but the issue with upgrade persist

2) Verify if there are duplicate 'centos-release' packages installed on a system with following command:
# rpm -q centos-release
Example output:
# centos-release-7-6.1810.2.el7.centos.x86_64
# centos-release-7-7.1908.0.el7.centos.x86_64
3) Perform cleanup of duplicate packages (create VM snapshot prior cleanup).
# yum-complete-transaction
# yum-complete-transaction --cleanup-only
# package-cleanup --dupes ### to identify duplicate packages
# package-cleanup --cleandupes ### to remove duplicates and perform cleanup
4) Execute upgrade of FortiNAC

Note: If this is really CentOS 5, it is not possible upgrade it.
These units are long out of support, and need to contact the Fortinet Sales Representative to get a fresh install with eval license to migrate to a later CentOS 7.
