| Problem | Solution | |---------|----------| | VM fails to boot: "boot device not found" | Ensure .qcow2 is not corrupted. Use qemu-img check | | No network connectivity after config | In KVM, confirm virtio drivers: ethtool -i port1 | | License rejected – build mismatch | Contact Fortinet TAC, provide fgtvm64 and build 2731 | | High CPU usage in idle | Disable DPDK unless you have >4 vCPUs: config system global; set dpdk enable disable; end | | Cannot resize qcow2 disk | Use qemu-img resize fgtvm64....qcow2 +10G , then in FortiOS: execute disk extend |
For production, always validate the MD5/SHA256 checksum of the qcow2 file and maintain offline backups of the image and configuration.
