The Firebox uses a cryptographic signature to verify the integrity of the appliance each time the Firebox boots, and the integrity of the upgrade file before each software upgrade. Integrity checks make sure that system files are valid and have not been corrupted. For more information, see System Integrity Checks in Fireware Help.

On-demand system integrity checks do not halt or shut down the Firebox. However, if an on-demand system integrity check fails, the automatic Boot Time check might halt the Firebox when it next reboots.
You must be logged in to Fireware Web UI as a Device Administrator to run the on-demand integrity check. If you log in with Device Monitor (status) credentials and try to run an on-demand system integrity check in Fireware Web UI, it fails due to an internal error.
To run an on-demand system integrity check for a cloud-managed Firebox:
- In Fireware Web UI, select Diagnostics.
The Diagnostics page opens with the Diagnostics File tab selected. - Select the System Integrity tab.
- Click Start Check.
The system integrity check runs. It can take several seconds for results to appear. - One of these results appears:
- System integrity check passed
- System integrity check failed
If the on-demand system integrity check fails, the Firebox automatically generates a fault report. You can see the fault report on the Diagnostics File tab. Failure of an on-demand system integrity check could indicate an issue with the integrity of the files and folders on the Firebox, or a hardware problem. You can try the recovery steps in the System Integrity Checks topic in Fireware Help or contact Support for assistance.
