Appendix A: Installation on KVM

Once you have downloaded the fortipam.qcow2 you can create the virtual machine in your KVM account.

To deploy FortiPAM virtual machine:

1. Launch Virtual Machine Manager on your KVM host server.
2. From the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) home page, select Create a new virtual machine.
3. Select Import existing disk image and select Forward.
4. Select Browse.

   If you saved the fortipam.qcow2 file to /var/lib/libvirt/images, it will be visible on the right. If you saved it somewhere else on your server, select Browse Local, find it, and select Open.

5. Select the OS type as Generic default and select Forward.
6. Specify the amount of memory and the number of CPUs to allocate to this virtual machine.

   You can set the memory as 4GB and the CPUs to 4.

   Select Forward.

7. Enter the name for the VM.

   A new VM includes one network adapter by default.

8. Check Customize configuration before installation, and select Finish.

To add additional hard disks:

Before opening your virtual machine for the first time you will need to configure two additional hard disks.

1. Click Add Hardware in the Virt-manager application, and select the option to add an additional storage disk.
2. For the Storage size, select a size according to the disk sizing guidelines. See System requirements in the KVM Admin Guide.
3. For Bus type select VirtIO.
4. Click Finish.

To add ethernet interfaces:

Before opening your virtual machine for the first time you will need to configure two ethernet interfaces.

1. In the Virtual Machine Manager, locate the VM name, then select Open from the toolbar.
2. Select NIC:xxxx; the default network adapter.
3. In Network source dropdown, select Host device enxxxx: macvtap.

   If no host device information shows up, i.e., the Network source dropdown only shows Macvtap with no enxxx information, you must enter the ethernet interface name in Device name.

4. In the Device model dropdown, select virtio.
5. Click Apply.
6. Click Add Hardware, and select the option to add an additional interface.
7. In the Device model dropdown, select virtio.
8. Select Finish.
9. Click Begin Installation to start installing the new VM.

To add log/video disks or modify disk sizes after first powering up FortiPAM-VM:

1. In the CLI console, enter sh sys storage to verify that the disk size change was successful:

   config system storage

   edit "HD1"

   set status enable

   set media-status enable

   set order 1

   set partition "LOGUSEDX83555B0F"

   set device "/dev/vda1"

   set size 20029

   set usage log

   next

   edit "HD2"

   set status enable

   set media-status enable

   set order 2

   set partition "PAMVIDEOBAED79CD"

   set device "/dev/vdb1"

   set size 301354

   set usage video

   next

   edit "HD3"

   set status enable

   set media-status disable

   set order 3

   set partition ''

   set device ''

   

   If the displayed disk size is not what you had configured, enter the following command to format the log and the video disk:

   execute disk format <disk_ref>

   Note: <disk_ref> can be checked using the command execute disk list.

   

   HD1 is used for the log disk and the disk_ref is 256.

   HD2 is used for the video disk and the disk_ref is 16.

   In the above example, disks can be formatted by entering the following commands:

   execute disk format 256 #HD1

   execute disk format 16 #HD2

   Disk formatting results in the loss of all existing logs and videos.
