Create the FortiAnalyzer-VMs

In this example, create two FortiAnalyzer-VMs for the HA cluster: fazha001 and fazha002.

To create the FortiAnalyzer-VMs for the HA cluster:

1. To create a new resource in Azure, click Create a resource.

   Note that the Prerequisite resources are also visible in the image below.

   

2. Search for FortiAnalyzer, and click Create.

   

3. In the Basics tab, enter the following information:

   • Resource group = CMM_RG_FAZHA

   • Region = West Europe

   • FortiAnalyzer virtual appliance name = fazha001

   • FortiAnalyzer Version = FortiAnalyzer 7.2.1 (BYOL)

   • FortiAnalyzer administrative username = your admin username

   • FortiAnalyzer password = your secure password

   • Confirm password = your secure password

   The password must be between 12 and 72 characters long, and it must contain characters from at least 3 of the following groups: uppercase characters, lowercase characters, numbers, and special characters.

4. Click Next : Network and Instance Settings.

   

5. In the Network and Instance Settings tab, select the Virtual Network settings from the Prerequisite:

   • Virtual network = CMM_Vnet_FAZ

   • Subnet = cmm_vnet_dc01 (10.0.10.0/24)

   • Virtual machine size = Standard D4as v4

   Standard D4as v4 has 4 vCPU and 16GB of RAM, which is the minimum requirement for FortiAnalyzer-VM.

6. Click Next : FortiAnalyzer IP address assignment.

   

7. In the FortiAnalyzer IP address assignment tab, enter the following information:

   • First public IP address resource name = None

   • Public IP address type = Static

8. Click Next : Review + create to finish creating the FortiAnalyzer-VM.

   

9. Repeat the previous steps to create the second FortiAnalyzer-VM.

   For the second FortiAnalyzer-VM, the FortiAnalyzer virtual appliance name is fazha002. Use the same virtual network settings and IP address assignment.
