Which statement is true when you are upgrading the firmware on an HA cluster made up of two FortiAnalyzer devices?
When upgrading the firmware on an HA cluster made up of two FortiAnalyzer devices, you should first upgrade the secondary device, and then upgrade the primary device. This ensures that the cluster remains synchronized and operational throughout the upgrade process. This method allows the primary device to continue managing traffic and functionality until its turn to upgrade, minimizing any potential downtime or service disruption.
Correct Answer: B FortiAnalyzer 7.0_Study Guide Page No: 64
Answer is B https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortianalyzer/7.2.0/upgrade-guide/262607/upgrading-fortianalyzer-firmware >To upgrade firmware for a cluster, Fortinet recommends upgrading the HA secondary units first, followed by the HA primary unit last.
B) FortiAnalyzer_7.0_Study_Guide-Online.pdf page 64: To upgrade FortiAnalyzer HA cluster firmware: 1. Log in to each secondary device. 2. Upgrade the firmware of all secondary devices. 3. Wait for the upgrades to complete and verify that all secondary devices joined the cluster. 4. Verify that logs on all secondary devices are synchronized with the primary device. 5. Upgrade the primary device.
To upgrade FAZ HA cluster firmware: 1. Log into each secondary device. 2. Upgrade the firmware of all secondary devices. 3. Wait for upgrades to complete and verify that all secondary devices joined the cluster. 4. Verify that logs on all secondary devices are synchronized with the primary device. 5. Upgrade the primary device.
To upgrade FortiAnalyzer HA cluster firmware: Log into each backup unit and upgrade the firmware. See the FortiAnalyzerRelease Notes and FortiAnalyzerUpgrade Guide in the Fortinet Document Library for more information. Wait for the upgrades to complete and check that the backup units have joined the HA cluster as slaves. Ensure that logs are synchronized with the primary unit. Upgrade the primary (master) unit. When the primary unit is upgraded, it automatically becomes a backup unit and one of the backup units is automatically selected to be the primary unit following the rules you set up in If the primary unit fails on page 254. This allows the HA cluster to continue operating through the upgrade process with primary and backup units.
