This file appears to be a virtual appliance image for , specifically designed for KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) environments. It likely corresponds to FortiAnalyzer version 6.0, Build 1183 .
If you deploy this file, you will get a working FortiAnalyzer instance. Key features in version 6.0 include:
⚠️ For FortiAnalyzer 7.0.0 and later, RAM and CPU are capped at 50% for Management Extension Applications (MEAs). Since build 1183 is a v6 image, this cap does not apply, but always consult the latest release notes for your exact version.
Assuming you have obtained a legitimate FortiAnalyzer KVM image (e.g., from the Fortinet Customer Support Portal), here is a generalized deployment process: fazvm64kvmv6build1183fortinetoutkvmzip
Example using virt-install :
mkdir /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/fortinet-FAZ-v6-build1183/ mv FAZ_VM64_KVM-v6-build1183-FORTINET.out.kvm.zip /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/fortinet-FAZ-v6-build1183/ cd /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/fortinet-FAZ-v6-build1183/ unzip FAZ_VM64_KVM-v6-build1183-FORTINET.out.kvm.zip mv FAZ.qcow2 virtioa.qcow2 rm FAZ_VM64_KVM-v6-build1183-FORTINET.out.kvm.zip /opt/unetlab/wrappers/unl_wrapper -a fixpermissions
