This topic describes how to upgrade the FortiDB firmware. When
installing firmware, FortiDB will keep existing data and
configuration.
- Download the firmware image file to
your management computer. For FortiDB appliances with a
valid technical support contract, firmware images can be downloaded
from the Fortinet Technical Support web site,
https://support.fortinet.com.
- Log in to FortiDB as "admin".
- Go to System >
System Information.
- In the Firmware
Version field, click the Update
link.
- Type the path and file name of the
firmware image file, or click the Browse button
and locate the firmware image file.
- Click the OK.
- Click the Update.
Your browser uploads the firmware image file to FortiDB, which
upgrades to the new firmware version, then restarts. This process
takes a few minutes.
Note: FortiDB will
keep existing data and configuration. If you want to reset all
device settings and configuration, and delete log data on the hard
drive, you can use the CLI command execute format disk.
For details, see Command Line Interface section.
