refers to the specific virtual disk image file used to deploy a FortiGate Virtual Machine (VM) on the Linux KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) hypervisor. Decoded, the filename breaks down as: FortiGate VM ( fgtvm ), 64-bit architecture ( 64 ), KVM hypervisor ( kvm ), FortiOS version 7.2.1 ( v721 ), Feature release ( f ), Build 1254 ( build1254 ), and the QCOW2 disk format ( outkvmqcow2 ).
Deploying this specific image depends heavily on the target environment. Below are the basic workflows for standard KVM execution and laboratory emulators. 1. Native Linux KVM (Virtual Machine Manager / QEMU) I can give you step-by-step commands custom-tailored to
