FortiManager VM resets all info after every reboot?

[isaacgrover]

I'm setting up a new FM v7.6.1 trial on Hyper-V and have noticed, frustratingly, that every bit of configuration info I add into FM gets wiped out after every reboot, except the FortiCloud licensing. Three times I have added a 60F, rebuilt the SSIDs/groups/profiles, performed the best practice security hardening, before I figured out what was happening here. I've shut it down both from the Hyper-V GUI and exec shutdown, and when it comes back, the 60F/SSIDs/profiles are all gone.

Update: Because I didn't know there were installation instructions, I had downloaded the VM image and secured it before creating additional virtual storage disks.  Added the additional storage, and now all the info is retained after a reboot.

Hi @isaacgrover ,

I haven't seen this kind of issue in the past.  You may take a snapshot before you reboot the FMG VM.
