Optional: Using a prebuilt custom VM on Azure

Up to v3.1.2, FortiSandbox only supports Windows7_64 and Windows7 custom VM images.

To create a storage blob for the custom image:

1. Create a new Resource group in the Azure portal.
2. In the new resource group, create a Storage account.
3. Go to Resource group > Storage account > Access keys to find your blob key.

   

4. Create a Blob on the storage account.
5. Download the prebuilt custom VM.
   • For the WIN7X86 prebuilt custom VM, download from https://fortisandbox.blob.core.windows.net/customvm-v1/WIN7X86VM.vhd?se=2025-01-01&sp=rl&spr=https&sv=2018-03-28&sr=c&sig=f65lCG19rIDjYCkbIlZ8EcUzcMii6WrDPCgxQUOeohQ%3D
   • For the WIN7X64 prebuilt custom VM, download from https://fortisandbox.blob.core.windows.net/customvm-v1/WIN7X64VM.vhd?se=2025-01-01&sp=rl&spr=https&sv=2018-03-28&sr=c&sig=f65lCG19rIDjYCkbIlZ8EcUzcMii6WrDPCgxQUOeohQ%3D
6. Upload the prebuilt custom VM to your new blob.
   1. Check your Azure Config for the FortiSandbox firmware image storage account.
   2. Create a blob container (with anonymous read access) in this storage account.
   3. Upload your custom VM VHD to this blob container.
   4. Install the prebuilt custom VM using the azure-vm-customized command.
