KVM QCOW2 images vs ISO installation

l0rdraiden over 5 years ago

I would like to know if there is any difference between both methods.

I use KVM so I could use the Qcow2 images to run Sophos directly, but I could as well install it from an ISO.

The only advantage of the ISO is that I could create a DISK in RAW format which will provice better performance than Qcow2.

Is there any other advantage or difference between both methods?

Thanks in advance

Hi l0rdraiden

You can use any method, it will not change firewall functionality.

Let fellow community members have their opinion on this, Let me tag rfcat_vk and Prism , They could share their expertise on the reported query.

Hi Keyur,

thank you for the compliment. I have never used an UTM or XG with a KVM only the VMware.

I think the person asking the question has plenty of experience with the performance side of the XG.
