It looks like the string you provided (fgtvm64kvmv723fbuild1262fortinetoutkvmqcow2 upd) appears to be a fragmented or concatenated identifier, possibly related to a FortiGate VM image for KVM — specifically a qcow2 file for build 1262 of version 7.2.3 (or similar).
If you intended for me to write a paper on that specific string as a technical artifact, I’ll need to make some reasonable assumptions to turn it into a structured document. Below is a short technical paper format based on decoding the string.
sudo dnf install @virt-install libvirt qemu-kvm virt-manager -y fgtvm64kvmv723fbuild1262fortinetoutkvmqcow2 upd
Start services:
sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd
A critical technical detail regarding this build involves the interaction between vCPU assignment and Fortinet licensing. It looks like the string you provided (
qcow2 image boots in evaluation mode. This limits throughput significantly (often capping at 100Mbps or 1Gbps depending on the exact version logic).Assuming you have the file FGT_VM64_KVM-v7.2.3-build1262-FORTINET.out.kvm.qcow2 (extracted from the zip), follow this deployment guide.
| Part | Meaning |
|------|---------|
| fgtvm64 | FortiGate VM, 64-bit |
| kvm | KVM hypervisor format |
| v723 | Version 7.2.3 |
| fbuild1262 | Fortinet internal build 1262 |
| fortinetout | Output from Fortinet build system |
| kvmqcow2 | QCOW2 disk image for KVM | Start services:
sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd
The QCOW2 already includes FortiOS 7.2.3 build 1262. No further update needed — this is a base deployment.
