Deploying the appliance

Prior to deploying the FortiAnalyzer VM, the VM platform must be installed and configured so that it is ready to
create virtual machines. The installation instructions for FortiAnalyzer VM presume that you are familiar with the
management software and terminology of your VM platform.

For assistance in deploying FortiAnalyzer VM, refer to the deployment chapter in this guide that corresponds to
your hypervisor environment. You may also need to refer to the documentation provided with your VM server. The
deployment chapters are presented as examples because, for any particular VM server, there are multiple ways
of creating a virtual machine - command line tools, APIs, alternative graphical user interface tools.

Before you start your FortiAnalyzer VM appliance for the first time, you might need to adjust virtual disk sizes and
networking settings. With the exception of AWS environments, the first time you start FortiAnalyzer VM, you will

VMware deployment example

The FortiAnalyzer VM can be deployed and configured using VMware vSphere Hypervisor™ (ESX/ESXi) and
VMware vSphere Client™.

VMware vSphere

Once you have downloaded the FMG_VM64-v5-buildxxxx-FORTINET.out.ovf.zip file and extracted

the package contents to a folder on your management computer, you can deploy the OVF package to your
VMware environment.

Prior to deploying the FortiAnalyzer VM, ensure that the following are configured and functioning properly:

l VMware vSphere Hypervisor™ (ESX/ESXi) software must be installed on a server prior to installing FortiAnalyzer
VM. Go to http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere-hypervisor/index.html for installation details.
l VMware vSphere Client™ must be installed on the computer that you will be using for managing the FortiAnalyzer
VM.
The following topics are included in this section:

l Deploy the OVF file

l Configure hardware settings
l Power on the virtual machine

Deploy the OVF file

To deploy the OVF file template:

1. Launch the VMware vSphere client, enter the IP address or host name of your server, enter your user name and
password, then select Login. The vSphere client home page opens.

31 Install Guide
Fortinet Technologies Inc.
VMware vSphere VMware deployment example

2. Select File > Deploy OVF Template to launch the OVF Template wizard. The OVF Template Source page opens.
3. Select Browse, locate the OVF file on your computer, then select Next to continue. The OVF Template Details
page opens.

4. Verify the OVF template details. This page details the product name, download size, size on disk, and description.
Select Next to continue. The OVF Template End User License Agreement page opens.
5. Read the end user license agreement, then select Accept then Next to continue. The OVF Template Name and
Location page opens.
6. Enter a name for this OVF template. The name can contain up to 80 characters and it must be unique within the
inventory folder. Select Next to continue. The OVF Template Disk Format page opens.

7. Select one of the following:

l Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed: Allocates the disk space statically (no other volumes can take the space), but
does not write zeros to the blocks until the first write takes place to that block during runtime (which includes a
full disk format).
l Thick Provision Eager Zeroed: Allocates the disk space statically (no other volumes can take the space), and
writes zeros to all the blocks.
l Thin Provision: Allocates the disk space only when a write occurs to a block, but the total volume size is
reported by the Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) to the OS. Other volumes can take the remaining space.

Install Guide 32
Fortinet Technologies Inc.
 VMware deployment example VMware vSphere

This allows you to float space between your servers, and expand your storage when your size monitoring
indicates there is a problem. Note that once a Thin Provisioned block is allocated, it remains in the volume
regardless of if you have deleted data, etc.

If you know your environment will expand in the future, it is recommended to add hard
disks larger than the 200GB FortiAnalyzer VM base license requirement and utilize
Thin Provision when setting the OVF Template disk format. This will allow your
environment to be expanded as required while not taking up more space in the SAN
than is needed.

8. Select Next to continue. The OVF Template Network Mapping page opens.

9. Map the networks used in this OVF template to networks in your inventory. Network 1 maps to port1 of the
FortiAnalyzer VM. You must set the destination network for this entry to access the device console. Select Next to
continue. The OVF Template Ready to Complete page opens.
10. Review the template configuration.
Ensure that Power on after deployment is not enabled. You might need to configure the FortiAnalyzer VM
hardware settings prior to powering on the VM.

11. Select Finish to deploy the OVF template. You will receive a Deployment Completed Successfully dialog box
once the FortiAnalyzer VM OVF template wizard has finished.

Initial Configuration

Before you can connect to the FortiAnalyzer VM you must configure basic configuration via the CLI console. Once
configured, you can connect to the FortiAnalyzer VM GUI and upload the FortiAnalyzer VM license file that you
downloaded from the Customer Service & Support portal.

The following topics are included in this section:

l GUI access
l Upload the license file
l Configure your FortiAnalyzer VM

GUI access

FortiAnalyzer VM AWS instances do not require any special configuration to enable

GUI access. The GUI can be accessed with the public DNS

Enable GUI access

To enable GUI access to the FortiAnalyzer VM you must configure the port1 IP address and network mask of the
FortiAnalyzer VM.

To configure the port1 IP address and netmask:

1. In your hypervisor manager, start the FortiAnalyzer VM and access the console window. You might need to press
Enter to see the login prompt.

43 Install Guide
Fortinet Technologies Inc.
 Upload the license file Initial Configuration

2. At the FortiAnalyzer VM login prompt, enter the username admin, then press Enter. By default, there is no
password.
3. Using CLI commands, configure the port1 IP address and netmask.
For example:
config system interface
edit port1
set ip <IP address> <Netmask>
end

You can also use the append allowaccess command to enable other access
protocols, such as auto-ipsec and snmp. The ping, https, ssh, and fgfm protocols are
enabled by default.
For more information, see the FortiAnalyzer CLI Reference in the Fortinet Document
Library.

The port management interface should match the first network adapter and virtual
switch that you have configured in the hypervisor virtual machine settings.

4. To configure the default gateway, enter the following commands:

config system route
edit 1
set device port1
set gateway <gateway_ipv4_address>
end

The Customer Service & Support portal does not currently support IPv6 for
FortiAnalyzer VM license validation. You must specify an IPv4 address in both the
support portal and the port management interface.

Connect to the GUI

Once you have configured the port1 IP address and network mask, launch a web browser and enter the IP
address you configured for the port management interface. At the login page, enter the user name admin and no
password, then select Login.

The GUI will open with an Evaluation License dialog box.

Upload the license file

FortiAnalyzer VM includes a free, full featured 15 day trial.

Before using the FortiAnalyzer VM you must enter the license file that you downloaded from the Customer
Service & Support portal upon registration.

Install Guide 44
Fortinet Technologies Inc.
Initial Configuration Configure your FortiAnalyzer VM

To upload the license via the CLI:

1. Open the license file in a text editor and copy the VM license string.
2. In a FortiAnalyzer VM console window, enter the following:
execute add-vm-license <vm license string>

To upload the license file via the GUI:

1. In the Evaluation License dialog box, select Enter License.

Optionally, you can also select Upload License in the License Information dashboard widget.

2. In the license upload page, select Browse, locate the VM license file (.lic) on your computer, then select OK to
upload the license file.
A reboot message will be shown, then the FortiAnalyzer VM system will reboot and load the license file.

3. Refresh your browser and log back into the FortiAnalyzer VM with username admin and no password.
The VM registration status appears as valid in the License Information widget once the license has been
validated.

As a part of the license validation process FortiAnalyzer VM compares its IP address

with the IP information in the license file. If a new license has been imported or the
FortiAnalyzer’s IP address has been changed, the FortiAnalyzer VM must be rebooted
in order for the system to validate the change and operate with a valid license.

If the IP address in the license file and the IP address configured in the FortiAnalyzer VM do not match, you
will receive an error message when you log back into the VM.

If this occurs, you will need to change the IP address in the Customer Service & Support portal to match the
management IP and re-download the license file. To change the management IP address, see To edit the
FortiAnalyzer VM IP address: on page 10

After an invalid license file has been loaded onto the FortiAnalyzer VM, the GUI will be
locked until a valid license file is uploaded. A new license file can be uploaded via the
CLI.

Configure your FortiAnalyzer VM

Once the FortiAnalyzer VM license has been validated, you can configure your device. For more information on
configuring your FortiAnalyzer VM, see the FortiAnalyzer Administration Guide available in the Fortinet
Document Library.
