Fortios.qcow2 🔔

The QCOW2 (QEMU Copy-On-Write) format is the primary disk image format for QEMU. Unlike raw images, a QCOW2 file only takes up physical disk space for the data actually written to it, making it efficient for storage and easy to transport. In the context of Fortinet , this file contains the entire system firmware, including the kernel and management interface, allowing a administrator to deploy a fully functional firewall as a Virtual Machine (VM) without physical hardware. Deployment Use Cases

For high availability, deploy two fortios.qcow2 instances and configure over a dedicated heartbeat interface. fortios.qcow2
