Unzip the image to reveal the qcow2 fileģ. The procedure below gives the steps to achieve this:ġ.Acquire the KVM image (qcow2 file format) for the FortiGate to deploy in ProxmoxĢ. The first step is to acquire the base image file for FortiOS and upload it to Proxmox so it can be used to create the FortiGate. I will write more articles about that hypervisor in the future, however this guide does not go into the initial set-up of the Proxmox hypervisor to perform the subsequent steps. This particular article makes a few assumptions (such as you are using ZFS as your VM storage) in that you know the basics when it comes to Proxmox. Below is a guide on how to take the standard FortiGate KVM image and import it into Proxmox for use as a virtual machine.
But, when it comes to importing the equivalent into Proxmox, there is not a ton of documentation. There’s a multitude of reasons why it tops my list for hypervisors, but going into depth around that is out of scope for this particular blog post.Įveryone pretty much knows how to import an “OVF/OVA” into the VMWare/Microsoft hypervisor solutions and even if you do not, there’s a slew of documentation/articles out there to teach you how to do it. There are a lot of different virtualization technologies out there but I am a HUGE fan of one in particular that may not have a lot of recognition by most.
More often than not, when you think of a hypervisor, you think of VMware, Microsoft, Oracle, etc.
