Each will correspond to a separate virtio NIC attached to the VM.
To get the best throughput from this build, apply these KVM-specific tweaks.
Minimum 1 vCPU (2 or more recommended for UTM scanning).
: The QCOW2 image might be corrupted or the boot order is wrong. Solution : Check disk format: qemu-img info /var/lib/libvirt/images/fgtvm64kvmv723fbuild1262fortinetoutkvmqcow2 . Ensure the VM XML has <boot dev='hd'/> . Use virt-manager to manually select the disk as boot device. fgtvm64kvmv723fbuild1262fortinetoutkvmqcow2

To run this specific virtual appliance stably, the host environment must supply minimum hardware provisions dictated by FortiOS 7.2.
Inside FortiOS, check if multiple queues are recognized:
Fortinet provides .qcow2 images so administrators can directly import and deploy FortiGate VMs on KVM without conversion.
