FortiManager Version & Sizing

Hello -

 

Looking for FortiManager version recommendations for a new install.  Was looking to start with 7.0.4 or 7.2.0.  Currently have FGT running 6.4.9.

 

The licensing we would get has a 2GB/day 200GB capacity.  Are these hard limits?  We are looking to use the FortiAnalyzer feature with about 20 devices.  Does the following sound about right for an ESX VM?

 

vcpu: 4

mem: 8GB

disk: 250GB

 

Thanks

Thank you for the information.  I was actually looking for more clarification regarding the 2nd disk size on an ESX VM.  The FMG-VM-10-UG states it has a 200GB capacity limit.  So should the disk be right at 200GB or slightly higher 250GB?  If I make it 500GB will 300GB be unusable?  Thanks
