Firmware upgrades
the following example output show that the management board (serial number ending in 10) is not synchronized with
the other FIM and the FPMs shown in the example.
diagnose sys confsync status | grep in_sy
FIM10E3E16000040, Slave, uptime=69346.99, priority=2, slot_id=1:2, idx=1, flag=0x0, in_sync=0
FIM04E3E16000010, Master, uptime=69398.91, priority=1, slot_id=1:1, idx=0, flag=0x0, in_sync=1
FPM20E3E17900217, Slave, uptime=69387.74, priority=20, slot_id=1:4, idx=2, flag=0x64, in_sync=0
FIM04E3E16000010, Master, uptime=69398.91, priority=1, slot_id=1:1, idx=0, flag=0x0, in_sync=1

You can also verify synchronization status from primary FIM Security Fabric dashboard widget.
To re-synchronize the FortiGate-7000, which has the effect of resetting the other FIM and the FPMs, re-install firmware
on the primary FIM.
1. Log into the primary FIM GUI.
2. Install a firmware build on the primary FIM from the GUI or CLI. The firmware build you install on the primary FIM
can either be the same firmware build or a different one.
Installing firmware synchronizes the firmware build and configuration from the primary FIM to the other FIM and
the FPMs.
3. Check the synchronization status from the Security Fabric dashboard widget or using the diagnose sys
confsync status | grep in_sy command. The following example ForGate-7040E shows that the primary
FIM is synchronized with the other FIM and all of the FPMs because each line includes in_sync=1:
diagnose sys confsync status | grep in_sy

FortiGate-7040E System Guide
You can also manually install firmware on each individual FIM and FPM from the BIOS after a
reboot. This manual process is just as effective as installing the firmware for a second time on
the primary FIM to trigger synchronization to the FIM and the FPMs, but takes much longer.
