In high-traffic environments, pinning VM vCPUs to specific physical cores can prevent latency spikes.

The .qcow2 (QEMU Copy On Write) format is a drive image used by the hypervisor. Unlike raw images, QCOW2 files are thin-provisioned, meaning they only take up the physical disk space actually used by the virtual machine. fortios.qcow2

The fortios.qcow2 file is the virtual disk image used to deploy a on KVM-based hypervisors like Proxmox, GNS3, EVE-NG, or OpenStack. It contains the FortiOS operating system and acts as the "hard drive" for your virtual firewall. 1. Getting the Image fortios

Never take a live snapshot of a fortios.qcow2 while DPDK is polling. Use virsh snapshot-create-as --disk-only --atomic or quiesce the VM first ( fgcp command inside FortiOS).
