System requirements

FortiTester-VM supports the following hypervisor versions:

  • KVM (Linux kernel 2.6, 3.0, 3.1 or above)

For best performance in hypervisor deployments, install FortiTester-VM on a “bare metal” (type 1) hypervisor. Hypervisors that are installed as applications on top of a general purpose operating system (Windows, Mac OS X or Linux) host have fewer computing resources available due to the host OS’s own overhead.

To ensure high performance, it's recommended to deploy FortiTester on the machine types with minimum 4 vCPUs, and memory size larger than 8 GB.

For hypervisor deployments, hardware-assisted virtualization (Intel VT or AMD-V) must be enabled in the BIOS.
