Installation overview

FortiADC-VM is deployed as a fully virtualized domU virtual machine.

To deploy FortiADC-VM on a open source Xen Project hypervisor/XAPI cloud, you can use either the dom0 virtual machine’s:

• command line or
• desktop environment, such as GNOME or KDE

Once FortiADC-VM is deployed, however, either your Xen server itself or your management computer must have a desktop environment.

sudo xm console <domain_int> using an alias to /dev/pty does not succeed. Instead, VNC is required to connect to FortiADC-VM’s virtual local console.
