You can also verify the synchronization status from the management board Configuration Sync Monitor.
To re-synchronize the FortiGate 6000F, which has the effect of resetting all of the FPCs, re-install firmware on the
management board.
1. Log in to the management board GUI.
2. Install a firmware build on the management board from the GUI or CLI. The firmware build you install on the
management board can either be the same firmware build or a different one.
Installing firmware synchronizes the firmware build and configuration from the management board to the FPCs.
3. Check the synchronization status from the Configuration Sync Monitor or using the diagnose sys confsync
status | grep in_sy command. The following example FortiGate 6301F output shows that the management
board is synchronized with all of the FPCs because each line includes in_sync=1.
diagnose sys confsync status | grep in_sy

You can also manually install firmware on each FPC from the BIOS after a reboot. This multi-
step manual process is just as effective as installing the firmware for a second time on the
management board to trigger synchronization to the FPCs, but takes much longer.
