Step 2: Point the Gaia ISO on an FTP server:
Method:
  • Using Isomorphic tool transfer the image file and make pen drive bootable. 
  • Then transfer the contents of same pen drive to the pc where ftp server is configured. Extract it and place it in a folder (here the folder name is GAIA).]
  • After extraction, you have to run the *.bat file. 
Open up a command prompt, a black screen comes up. Drag and drop your .bat file onto the window. If that doesn’t work us cd (change directory) to go to where the file is and then press enter. I'll give you an example, let’s say execute.bat is on my desktop: 

start>run>cmd (enter) then with the window open cd C:\GAIA/(enter) then execute.bat (enter).
  • Check for the FTP server configuration parameters and point the ISO folder path (here my path is C:/GAIA) to be installed.
Initially:
  • Parameters to be set are
Step3:  Now download the R7X.XX Gaia boot manager (*.sh) and place it in the appliance location /script.  Give chmod 777 and Install as shown below.
  • Verify that the boot manager is located in the logical drive ad0 by running the command
ipsctl –a | grep CF
 The output will be similar to
hw:disk:ad:0:location = InternalCF
hw:disk:ad:0:type = CF-INTERNAL-IDE
Once the Gaia boot manager is installed successfully, appliance will reboots and (press 1) shows as below.
Step4:  Follow the instructions and enter the data. Make sure Ftp server interface is up and running (here interface from appliance to ftp is eth-s4p1).
Device reboots and starts installing Gaia if all the values are correct
  • System restarts once the installation is completed. 
Step5: Now we can run first time wizard by using the IP address of the appliance

FortiGate: Upgrading the firmware via CLI

FortiGate: Upgrading the firmware via CLI To use the following procedure, you must have a TFTP or FTP server that FortiDB can connect to. You must also log in using the “admin” administrator account. Start the FTP or TFTP server. Copy the new firmware image file to the FTP or TFTP server. Log into the CLI. Verify that FortiDB can connect to the FTP or TFTP server. For example, if the IP address of the TFTP server is 192.168.1.168, enter the CLI command: execute ping 192.168.1.168 Enter the following command to copy the firmware image from the TFTP server to FortiDB: execute restore image ftp execute restore image tftp Where is the name and location of the firmware image file and or is the IP address of the FTP or TFTP server. For example, if the firmware image file name is image.out and the IP address of the FTP or TFTP server is 192.168.1.168, enter: execute restore image tftp image.out 192.168.1.168 FortiDB responds with the message: This oper...
