Deploying primary and secondary nodes without VM Clones

Deploying primary and secondary nodes without VM Clones

When the primary and secondary node are using a FortiSandbox VM00 model, you have the option of deploying without VM Clones (i.e. dispatcher). That VM00 deployment dedicates its full VM resources for HA support, receiving incoming files and distribution of files to the worker nodes. There is no scan performed on the VM00. On this type of VM00 deployment, only the FortiCare Premium Support subscription is necessary as all the scans are performed on the worker nodes.
