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 VMware vSphere Client.
2. In IP address / Name, type the IP address or FQDN of the VMware vSphere server.
3. In User name, type the name of your account on that server.
4. In Password, type the password for your account on that server.
5. Click Login.
6. In the pane on the left side, right-click the name of the virtual appliance, such as FortiWeb-VM, then select Edit Settings.
7. The virtual appliance’s properties dialog appears.

In the list of virtual hardware on the left side of the dialog, click Memory.

8. In Memory Size, type the maximum number in gigabytes (GB) of the vRAM to allocate.
   
   
9. Click OK.
10. If you do not need to change the other resources, continue with Powering on and shutting down the virtual appliance. Otherwise continue with Mapping the virtual NICs (vNICs) to physical NICs.
