Upgrading the virtual hardware
By default, the FortiADC-VM fortiadc-vm-64-hw7.ovf image uses VMware virtual hardware version 7. If you have a VMware ESXi 5.1 environment that supports virtual hardware version 9, and you want to provide version 9 feature support such as backups, you can update the virtual hardware.

To upgrade the virtual hardware:
- Shut down FortiADC-VM. To do this, you can enter the CLI command:
- In VMware vCenter, right-click the VM and select Power > Power Off.
- After it has been powered off, right-click the VM and select the option to upgrade the virtual hardware.
- When the upgrade is complete, power on FortiADC-VM.
