| Problem | Solution | |---------|----------| | VM boots to “GRUB” or “no bootable device” | Disk image may be raw instead of qcow2. Use qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O raw fortinet.qcow2 fortinet.raw and adjust XML. | | Network interface not detected on KVM | Ensure model is virtio ; if not, try e1000 in the XML: <model type='e1000'/> . | | “License expired” after booting | Upload valid .lic file. If eval, request from Fortinet support (not available for v6 anymore). | | Web GUI login loops or shows blank page | Clear browser cache, or connect via HTTP (not recommended). Check diagnose debug httpd on console. | | Cannot manage FortiGates over Internet | Ensure firewall allows TCP 443 (or 514 for FGFM) between FMG and FortiGate. Run diagnose dvm check connection on FMG. | | High disk usage on /dev/mapper/fmg-root | Old builds have aggressive SQLite or PostgreSQL logging. Archive logs or increase disk size via qemu-img resize . |

| Token | Meaning | |-------|---------| | | FortiManager – Fortinet’s centralized management platform for FortiGate firewalls, FortiSandbox, FortiClient, and other security fabrics. | | vm64 | 64-bit Virtual Machine image. | | kvm | Targeted hypervisor: Kernel-based Virtual Machine (Linux KVM). | | v6 | Major software version line – FortiManager v6 (e.g., 6.0.x, 6.2.x, or 6.4.x). Build numbers vary per minor release. | | build1183 | Specific internal build number. For FMG v6.x, build 1183 typically corresponds to FortiManager v6.2.3 or v6.0.9 – always verify via Fortinet’s release notes. | | fortinet.out.kvm | Indicates it is a Fortinet KVM image with .out as an internal staging extension before zipping. | | .zip | Compressed archive containing the disk image (usually qcow2 or raw format). | Fmg-vm64-kvm-v6-build1183-fortinet.out.kvm.zip
