Starting the VM

The VM is configured fully, it can be started and the console can be used for the initial configuration of FortiOS. It is worth capturing a copy of the XML configuration.

 [root@rhel-tiger-14-6 ~]# virsh dumpxml FCR-VM-TIGER-14-48 > /home/qemu/forticarrier-vm/FCR-VM-TIGER-14-48.xml

 [root@rhel-tiger-14-6 ~]# virsh start FCR-VM-TIGER-14-48
 Domain FCR-VM-TIGER-14-48 started

 [root@rhel-tiger-14-6 ~]# virsh console FCR-VM-TIGER-14-48

Once the VM is running, using the command lstopo-no-graphics --ps allows the verification of the CPU pinning, and so on.
