About FortiManager on Microsoft Hyper-V
This document provides information about deploying a FortiManager virtual appliance in Microsoft Hyper-V server environments.
This includes how to configure the virtual appliance's virtual hardware settings. This guide presumes that the reader has a thorough understanding of virtualization servers.
This document does not cover configuring and operating the virtual appliance after successfully installing and starting it. For that information, see the FortiManager Administration Guide.
