Creating the virtual machine

To create the virtual machine:
  1. Launch XenCenter on your management computer. The management computer can be any computer that can run Citrix XenServer, a Microsoft Windows application.
  2. Click ADD a server, then enter the Citrix XenServer IP address and the root logon credentials required to manage that server. XenCenter adds your Citrix XenServer to the list in the left pane, and the Virtual Machine Manager homepage opens.
  3. Select File > Import.
  4. Click Browse, locate the faz.xva file, select Open, then select Next.
  5. Choose the pool or standalone server to host the VM, then click Next.
  6. Select the storage location for the FortiAnalyzer disk drives, then click Next.
  7. Configure the virtual network interfaces, then click Next. By default, there are four virtual network interfaces.

  8. Review the import settings, deselect Start VM(s) after import, and then click Finish to import the VM.

    The Citrix XenServer imports the FortiAnalyzer files and configures the VM as specified in the template. Depending on your computer's hardware speed and resource load, the file size, and the network connection speed, this may take several minutes to complete

    When the VM import is complete, the XenServer left pane includes the FortiAnalyzer-VM in the list of deployed VMs for your Citrix XenServer.
