Creating a new VDOM
By default, every FortiGate unit has a root VDOM that is visible when VDOMs are
enabled. To use additional VDOMs, you must first create them.
When using multiple VDOMs, it can be useful to assign fewer resources to some VDOMs
and more resources to others. This VDOM resource management will result in better
FortiGate unit performance. For more information, see
.

Note:
Your FortiGate unit has limited resources that are divided amongst all configured
VDOMs. These resources include system memory, and CPU. When running 250 or more
VDOMs, you cannot run Unified Threat Management (UTM) features such as proxies, web
filtering, or antivirus—your FortiGate unit can only provide basic firewall functionality.
Tip:
If you do not have a
System > Maintenance > License
tab, your FortiGate model does
not support more than 10 VDOMs.
Note:
VDOMs created on a registered FortiGate unit are recognized as real devices by any
connected FortiAnalyzer unit. The FortiAnalyzer unit includes VDOMs in its total number of
registered devices. For example, if three FortiGate units are registered on the FortiAnalyzer
unit and they contain a total of four VDOMs, the total number of registered FortiGate units
on the FortiAnalyzer unit is seven. For more information, see the
FortiAnalyzer
