$ /usr/local/bin/qemu-img create -f qcow2 checkpoint.img 100GĪs we downloaded Gaia ISO image in the part1 of the tutorial, we can start Checkpoint Gaia VM machine with the ISO attached to Qemu cdrom. Let's start with the point 2.įirst, we need to create an empty qcow VM disk with qemu-img utility as we want to install Gaia into this image. We will use the same network topology depicted on the Picture 1.1 of the part 1. Let' assume that we have created underlying network infrastructure with the scripts create_taps.sh and bridge_interfaces.sh in Part1. This part goes further and explains Gaia installation on QEMU virtual machine (VM). This is the second part of the tutorial that aims to deploy Check Point Gaia as a personal firewall under Linux.
