Purpose
Use the deployment guide to deploy the FortiSOAR virtual appliance using VMware, the ESX/ESXi server and AWS.
|
This document provides you with all the procedures for setting up FortiSOAR in your environment, including deploying FortiSOAR, the initial configuration for FortiSOAR, and troubleshooting of FortiSOAR. |
Prerequisites
Before you deploy FortiSOAR, ensure you have done the following:
- Setup a system with either Rocky Linux version 8.6 or RHEL version 8.6, if you are installing FortiSOAR using the installation script.
OR,
If you are using the OVA to deploy FortiSOAR, then provision to import the FortiSOAR virtual appliance into VMware or AWS. - Hostname and IP address if you want to change or assign them.
- DNS server should be configured for the appliance if it is not picked up automatically from the network.
- Company-specific SSL certificate, if you want to change the default certificate.
- Optionally configure an SMTP server and an NTP server. The SMTP server is used for outgoing notifications once the system is configured. The NTP server is used to synchronize the machine time after deployment.
