Migrating from Pre-6.1.2 FortiSIEM
Migrating from Pre-6.1.2 FortiSIEM
This section describes how upgrade the 500F Collector appliance from any older FortiSIEM version to6.1.2.
FortiSIEMperforms migration in-place, via a bootloader. There is no need to create a new image or copy disks. The
bootloader shell contains the new version of FortiSIEM.

Pre-Migration Checklist
To perform the migration, the following prerequisites must be met:
1. Make sure your system can connect to the Internet.
2. Make sure the /opt directory # mount /dev/mapper/FSIEM500F-phx_opt disk exists.
3. Log in to your FSM as root and run the following commands:
# mkdir -p /opt/images
# ln -s /opt/images /images
4. Go to the /images directory. Download the 6.1.2 hardware image from the support site, then unzip it. For
example:
# unzip_FSM_Full_All_RAW_HARDWARE_6.1.2_0119.
5. Create a soft link to images, for example:
# ln -sf /images/ForitSIEM-6.1.2.0119.img /images/latest
