Configuring the virtual RAM (vRAM) limit

Configuring the virtual RAM (vRAM) limit

FortiWeb-VM comes pre-configured to use 8 GB of vRAM. You can change this value.

It is possible to configure FortiWeb-VM to use less vRAM, such as 2 GB. However, for performance reasons, it is not recommended.
To change the amount of vRAM
While resizing the vRAM, the FortiWeb-VM must be powered off.
  1. On your management computer, start Citrix XenCenter.

  2. In the pane on the left side, double-click the name of the XenServer. This will open an authentication dialog.
  3. In Server, type the IP address or FQDN of the Citrix XenServer server.

    In User name, type the name of your account on that server.

    In Password, type the password for your account on that server.

    Click Connect.

  4. In the pane on the left side, select the name of the FortiWeb-VM instance on that server.
  5. The pane on the right side will change to show the settings for this specific virtual machine.

  6. In the pane on the right side, click the Memory tab, then click Edit.
  7. The virtual appliance’s memory settings dialog appears.

  8. Adjust the maximum amount in gigabytes (GB) of the vRAM to allocate, then click OK.

  9. If you do not need to change the other resources, continue with Powering on the virtual appliance. Otherwise continue with Mapping the virtual NICs (vNICs) to physical NICs.
