Parameter Context breakdown:

The technical string refers to the fresh deployment package of the FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) Virtual Machine built specifically for 64-bit Linux Kernel-based Virtual Machine ( KVM ) hypervisors, running FortiOS version 7.2.3 (Build 1262) . Network engineers and security administrators utilize this exact image file ( .qcow2 ) to spin up enterprise-grade security appliances inside private clouds, home labs, or virtual emulation platforms like GNS3 and EVE-NG . Use cache='none' or cache='writeback' for better I/O: :

If you are managing the host via CLI, you can create the virtual machine using the virt-install tool or copy the image directly to your storage pool directory (e.g., /var/lib/libvirt/images/ ). An example CLI creation string looks like this:
