Operating a FortiGate-7000
Installing firmware on an FIM or FPM module from the BIOS using a TFTP server
When it starts up the module's configuration is reset to factory defaults. The module's configuration is
synchronized to match the configuration of the primary module. The new module reboots again and can start
processing traffic.
15. Verify that the configuration has been synchronized.
The following command output shows the sync status of the FIM modules in a FortiGate-7000 chassis. The field
in_sync=1
indicates that the configurations of the modules are synchronized.
diagnose sys confsync
status | grep in_sy
FIM04E3E16000080, Slave, uptime=177426.45, priority=2,
slot_id=1:2, idx=0, flag=0x0, in_sync=1
FIM10E3E16000063, Master, uptime=177415.38, priority=1,
slot_id=1:1, idx=1, flag=0x0, in_sync=1
If
in_sync
is not equal to 1 or if a module is missing in the command output you can try restarting the
modules in the chassis by entering execute reboot from any module CLI. If this does not solve the problem,
contact Fortinet support.
