For information on setting up a custom VM on Azure, see the custom VM image section in the FortiSandbox Administration Guide to do the following:
- Create a custom VHD image using virtualization software such as VirtualBox.
- Prepare the OS installation package.
- Install software and components on the custom VM image.
- Set up the VM image environment.
To use a custom VM on Azure:
-
Install the Azure local custom VMs with the CLI command:
azure-vm-customized
. - On the FSA Azure web GUI, go to Virtual Machine > VM Images and update the Clone number.
- In a new FSA CLI window, check the VM clone initialization using the
diagnose-debug vminit
command.The FSA Azure Dashboard shows a green indicator for Windows VM.
