Configuring FortiVoice hardware settings

Configuring FortiVoice hardware settings

Before turning on your FortiVoice VM, you must configure the virtual CPU, create network adapters, and configure virtual disks to match your FortiVoice VM license.

For FortiVoice VM license information, see Licensing.

FortiVoice VM virtual processors

Configure FortiVoice VM virtual processors in the server settings page. The number of processors is dependent on your server environment.

To configure FortiVoice VM virtual processors:

  1. In the Hyper-V Manager, right-click the name of the virtual machine you created and select Settings from the menu.
  2. In the Settings page, go to Hardware > Processor.
  3. In the Processor page, configure the number of virtual processors for the FortiVoice VM virtual machine. Optionally, you can use resource controls to balance resources among virtual machines.
  4. Click Apply to save the settings.

FortiVoice VM network adapters

Configure FortiVoice VM network adapters in the server settings page. FortiVoice VM supports four network adapters.

To configure FortiVoice VM network adapters:

  1. In the Hyper-V Manager, right-click the name of the virtual machine you created and select Settings from the menu.
  2. In the Settings page, go to Hardware > Add Hardware.
  3. Select Network Adapter in the device list and click Add.
  4. In the Network Adapter page, select the virtual switch for the adapter from the drop-down list.
  5. Click Apply.
  6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 to add up to 4 adapters if required.

FortiVoice VM virtual hard disk

Configure the FortiVoice VM virtual hard disk in the server settings page.

Note FortiVoice VM requires at least two virtual hard disks. Before turning on the FortiVoice VM, you need to add at least one more virtual hard disk. The default hard drive, fortivoice-hv.vhd, contains the operating system. The second hard drive will be used for logs and voice data.

If you know your environment will expand in the future, it is recommended to add hard disks larger than the 250 GB FortiVoice VM base license requirement. This addition will allow your environment to be expanded as required while not taking up more space in the SAN than needed.
Note

FortiVoice VM allows for twelve virtual log disks to be added to a deployed instance. When adding additional hard disks to your FortiVoice VM, use the following CLI command to extend the LVM logical volume:

execute lvm enable

execute lvm extend <arg ..>

To create a FortiVoice VM virtual hard drive:

  1. In the Hyper-V Manager, right-click the name of the virtual machine you created and select Settings from the menu.
  2. In the Settings page, select IDE Controller 1 from the Hardware menu.
  3. Select Virtual Hard Disk.
  4. Click Browse.
  5. Select the .vhd file that matches your license.
  6. Click OK.
