|-------|----------|
| VM won’t boot | Check qcow2 integrity: qemu-img check image.qcow2 |
| No network | Ensure virtio NIC selected. Use model=virtio in virt-install |
| Slow performance | Allocate more CPU cores (2-4), enable virtio disk caching |
| Cannot access web UI | Check allowaccess includes https. Verify firewall policies |
| Kernel panics | Use -cpu host or -cpu qemu64; update libvirt |
| License invalid | Match VM UUID with license file. Use uuidgen then edit XML | | Part | Meaning | |------|---------| | fgtvm64

sudo nmcli connection add type bridge ifname br0
sudo nmcli connection modify br0 ipv4.addresses 192.168.1.10/24 ipv4.gateway 192.168.1.1
sudo nmcli connection modify br0 ipv4.method manual
sudo nmcli connection up br0
Then attach FortiGate’s port1 to br0 and port2 to default (WAN).
