Configuring hardware settings

Before powering on your FortiManager-VM, you must configure the virtual memory, virtual CPU, and virtual disk.

To configure hardware settings:

1. In the vSphere Client, select the VM from the tree menu in the left pane.
2. In the VM Hardware pane, click Edit Settings....

   The Edit Settings dialog displays.

   

3. In the CPU field, adjust the number of CPU cores as required.
4. In the Memory field, adjust the memory size as required. See Minimum system requirements to determine your required memory.
5. In the Hard disk 2 field (the log disk), adjust the size required. You should not edit Hard disk 1.

   The FortiManager-VM allows you to add twelve virtual log disks to a deployed instance. When adding additional hard disks, use the following CLI command to extend the LVM logical volume: execute lvm start execute lvm extend <arg ..>

6. Click OK to apply your changes.
