VM Images
Go to Virtual Machine > VM Images to view all installed VM Images and configure the number of instances of each image.
VM Images are grouped to three categories:
|
A new Ubuntu18 optional VM has been introduced in FortiSandbox 3.1.0. |
When Fortinet publishes a new version of VM image on its image server, the image will show up in the Optional VMs group. A download button will show up in Status column. Users can click the button to start downloading. After the image has downloaded, a Ready to Install button will be displayed. When the user clicks on it, all downloaded images will start installing. After installation, the system will reboot automatically. Users can also click the Remove button to delete a downloaded image.
After an image is installed, its license key will be checked. If no key is available, the image's status will be installed but disabled, until the key is installed and the image is activated. After the image is activated, users can start using it by setting its clone number to be greater than 0. Thereafter, the Image's status will become activated.
The following options are available:
|
Edit Clone Number |
Select a VM Image and select Edit Clone Number from the toolbar to edit the entry. Click the green checkmark to save the new number. Then, click the Apply button to apply the changes. |
|
Delete VM |
Select a VM Image and select Delete VM from the toolbar to delete the entry. The default set of four Windows VMs cannot be deleted. Deleted VMs will only be deleted after the system reboots. |
|
Undelete VM |
After deleting a VM you have the option to Undelete the VM to recover it. After the system reboots and the delete action has been completed, the user cannot undelete a VM. |
|
VM Screenshot |
Select to take a screenshot of a running VM, and the file name the VM is scanning. The button is only available for admin user. |
The following information is displayed:
|
Enabled VM Types |
Max number of VM types that can concurrently run. It cannot exceed four on models other than FSA-3000E. On FSA-3000E, the number is six. |
|
Keys |
Max number of keys. This includes used key numbers and installed key numbers. |
|
Clone Number |
Max Clone number. It is the number of the installed Windows license. For example:
|
|
Name |
Name of the VM Image. The name is unique in the system. If the user uploads a new VM image of the same name, the current installation will be replaced. A Chart icon is located beside the Name column on the left side. When you click on the Chart icon, the VM’s usage chart will appear. |
|
Version |
VM Image version. If a new version of an image is published on the Fortinet Image Server, a New Version Available icon will appear. Users can download, install and activate it. |
|
Status |
VM Image status. A VM image can be one of the following statuses:
|
|
Enabled |
If an image's clone number is 0, it is disabled. Otherwise it is enabled. |
|
Clone# |
VM Clone number. The user can double click the number to edit it, then click the green check mark to save the new number. Click Apply to apply the change. The VM system will initialize again. The total clone number of all VM images cannot exceed the number of installed Windows license(s). For example, for FSA-3000D, the maximum clone number is 28. |
|
Load# |
The used VM clone number. For example, if a cluster primary (master) node is set to use 50% of sandboxing scan power, the load # is half of clone #. |
|
Extensions |
List of all the file types the VM image is associated with. It means files of these types will be scanned by this VM if these types are determined to enter the job queue. The system decides if they need to be sandboxed. If the sandbox prefiltering is turned off for a file type, it will be scanned inside each associated VM type. If sandbox prefiltering is turned on, files of this file type will be statically scanned first by an advanced analytic engine and only suspicious ones will be scanned inside associated VM type. File type and VM association can be defined in the Scan Policy > Scan Profile page. Users can double click the value to access the Scan Profile page to edit the list. |
|
|
Enabled clone numbers will be checked against allocated CPU and memory resources. If they are not enough, a warning message will appear and the setting will be denied. |
