Most resources are available after successful deployment of the OVF file and validation of the license file. See Deploying the FortiMail VM software and Starting FortiMail VM.
To use more than one CPU, you must configure its use once you deploy FortiMail VM. See Configuring the number of CPUs.
For v4.0 MR3 GA and earlier releases, you can reduce the virtual storage to as small as 50 GB (but not smaller than 50 GB) once you deploy FortiMail VM. Starting from v4.0 MR3 Patch 1 release, you can reduce the size to as small as 5 GB. See Configuring a smaller disk.
In addition, FortiMail VM requires a valid FortiGuard connection using:
- for DNS lookup; RBL lookup — UDP 53
- for FortiGuard Licensing — TCP 443
