Hi,

I would use federated-upgrade , but upgrade status are or failed or “upgrade to 7.2.8 shortly” but is a permanent status.

ansible --version  
ansible [core 2.15.9]  
ansible-galaxy --version  
ansible-galaxy [core 2.15.9]

Is a single fortigate 40F and federated upgrade in gui work fine.  
my playbook:

```auto
- hosts: fgt_40
  collections:
    - fortinet.fortios
  connection: httpapi
  vars:
   vdom: "root"
   ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: yes
   ansible_httpapi_validate_certs: no
   ansible_httpapi_port: 443
  tasks:
  - name: Coordinate federated upgrades within the Security Fabric.
    fortios_system_federated_upgrade:
      vdom: "{{ vdom }}"
      #access_token: "mNsw0Nnzrmqt574HHddcQyt3s0Qp7x"
      system_federated_upgrade:
        failure_device: "FGT40FXXXXXXX"
        failure_reason: "none"
        #ha_reboot_controller: "<your_own_value>"
        next_path_index: "0"
        node_list:
         -
            coordinating_fortigate: "FGT40FXXXXXX"
            device_type: "fortigate"
            #maximum_minutes: "15"
            serial: "FGT40FXXXXX"
            #setup_time: "<your_own_value>"
            #time: "16:49 2024/03/18"
            timing: "immediate"
            upgrade_path: "7-2-8"
        status: "disabled"
        upgrade_id: "10"

```

command output:

Hi Luca,

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I am just about to start playing with this functionality.

Thanks

Did you manage to find a way to run the equivalent of “execute fabricupgrade initialize” via ansible on the Fortigate? Are you just using raw ssh commands for this, I have been having difficulty inputting carriage returns to execute the multiple inputs required…
