By default, the v-series does not support virtual domains (VDOMs). To run VDOMs on v-models, you must purchase additional VDOM licenses. You can add and stack VDOMs up to the maximum supported number after initial deployment. |
The number of vCPUs and the RAM size that the license indicates do not restrict the FortiGate from working, regardless of how many vCPUs and how much RAM the virtual instance includes. However, only the licensed number of vCPUs and RAM size process traffic and management. The FortiGate-VM does not use the rest of the vCPUs.
Example for FGT-VM08 license, where max 8vCPU is consumable:
|
License |
1 vCPU |
2 vCPU |
4 vCPU |
8 vCPU |
16 vCPU |
32 vCPU |

The FortiGate-VM uses 8 VCPUs for traffic and management and does not use the rest. |
The FortiGate-VM uses 8 VCPUs for traffic and management and does not use the rest. |
This example applies to the RAM size as well.
