Configuring virtual hardware
Before you start your FortiMail VM for the first time, you can optionally adjust your virtual machine’s virtual hardware settings to meet your network requirements.
Configuring number of CPUs and memory size
Your FortiMail VM license limits the number CPUs and amount of memory that you can use. The amounts you allocate must not exceed your license limits. See Licensing.
To access virtual machine settings
- Open XenCenter.
- Select your FortiMail VM in the left pane.
The tabs in the right pane provide access to the virtual hardware configuration. The Console tab provides access to the FortiMail console.
To set the number of CPUs
- In the XenCenter left pane, right-click the FortiMail VM and select Properties.
- In the left pane, select CPU.
- Adjust Number of CPUs and then select OK.
The Properties window opens.
XenCenter will warn if you select more CPUs than the Xen host computer contains. Such a configuration might reduce performance.
To set memory size
- In the XenCenter left pane, select the FortiMail VM.
- In the right pane, select the Memory tab.
- Select Edit, modify the value in the Set a fixed memory of field and select OK.
