Fortigate VM 64 supports VDOM feature?
Hi All,
I am trying to find if fortigate VM(firmware version - v5.4.7,build6446 ) supports VDOM functionality?
I can't able to enable it through CLI as i don't get command for it.
Thanks

Yes it does, I think the command is hidden by default but you should be able to type it in manually.
config system global
set vdom-admin enable
end
It will ask you to confirm then log you out of the session.

Hey,
this will depend on your license:
Fortigate VM01 does have VDOMs
Fortigate VM01V does not have VDOMs
The normal Fortigate VM Models just go End-Of-Order -> So for future there won't be VMs with VDOMs any more...
Br,
Roman

I know that it's the information in the 2018-Q1 pricelist but it seems strange and I heard that it may be a mistake

Maybe someone from Fortinet can answer more accurately, but the information I've gotten is that VDOMs are not going away, just being licensed differently. What I was told is that because of performance implications, Fortinet is trying to encourage users to purchase multiple VMs, as opposed to purchasing one and using VDOMs. If you look at the VM02, you can purchase 3x VM02V and Fortimanager for the same price as the VM02.

They do support it, but you need to purchase the correct licensing. There is separate licensing for VDOM support (FGVM0x) vs no-VDOM (FG-VM0xV). In my experience, it's been cheaper to purchase multiple non-VDOM VMs than it has to purchase 1x VM with VDOM.
