So your search keyword likely lacks hyphens and contains a typo (v747m instead of v747-M). Try searching for:

# Convert if needed (though already qcow2)
cp fgtvm64kvmv747mbuild2731fortinetoutkvmqcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/fgt.qcow2
Prerequisites
- Linux host with KVM installed (
qemu-kvm, libvirt, virt-manager)
- At least 2 vCPUs, 2 GB RAM allocated to the VM
- Disk space: 10–30 GB (depending on logging needs)
Part 6: Troubleshooting Common Issues with This Build
| Problem | Solution |
|---------|----------|
| VM fails to boot: "boot device not found" | Ensure .qcow2 is not corrupted. Use qemu-img check |
| No network connectivity after config | In KVM, confirm virtio drivers: ethtool -i port1 |
| License rejected – build mismatch | Contact Fortinet TAC, provide fgtvm64 and build 2731 |
| High CPU usage in idle | Disable DPDK unless you have >4 vCPUs: config system global; set dpdk enable disable; end |
| Cannot resize qcow2 disk | Use qemu-img resize fgtvm64....qcow2 +10G, then in FortiOS: execute disk extend | fgtvm64kvmv747mbuild2731
