Did you follow this guide for deployment?

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortimanager-private-cloud/7.4.0/microsoft-hyper-v-administration-guide/647856

Check if the hard disk part was done as described.

    Used to have the same issue. It happened as the FortiManager default Partition (around 1.4 Gb) was removed and only one HDD was present on VM. Make sure to use the .ova default template configuration when deploying it.

      Hi ,

      For HV deployment , please make sure to configure two HDDs ( HDD 0 around 8 GB, and HDD 1 around 200GB as a starting point) "Any disks can be extended whenever needed "
